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.
