Guy Finley's 40 Check list for Freedom
Following are forty simple internal indicators for evaluating just how far along you actually are on freedom's path. As you review each of the inner liberties on the list, just note mentally to yourself whether or not that particular freedom belongs to you.
You may find some of the upcoming list surprising. If that happens, let it. And then feel free to consider you never knew such a freedom could exist for you because, up until now, you were sure you had no choice but to live restrained in this area. Now you know better!
