IT'S THE CHAINS WE CHOOSE THAT SET US FREE
The people who live best tie themselves down.
They don’t ask: What cool thing can I do next? They ask: What is my responsibility here?
They respond to some problem or get called out of themselves by a deep love.
By planting themselves in one neighborhood, one organization or one mission, they earn trust.
They have the freedom to make a lasting difference.
It’s the chains we choose that set us free.
