It’s Independence Day in the US…
An important day to thank and appreciate all military personnel and people who help us stay free and safe. As a 1st generation American from parents who came from a country where things are not as easy… I know we are SO blessed to live in this amazing country where we can pretty much do whatever we want AND decide to reinvent ourselves whenever we choose.
Is there something you can choose to free yourself from today?
- Maybe a past experience or “failure”
- A low self-image or pattern of self-talk
- Someone in your life who doesn’t believe in your dreams and works hard to make sure you doubt yourself and your abilities (I affectionately call these types of people “dreamkillers” – Jeff & I both were able to free ourselves of people like this in our past)
- A self-imposed, self-destructive pattern (maybe eating fast food, not exercising, or procrastination)
These are all things you can CHOOSE to FREE yourself from… right now. Granted, some of them may take time to really change, but it doesn’t have to take that long… You do have a choice.
Whatever you decide to change and free yourself from… write it down clearly, keep it somewhere where you see it EVERY day (and sometimes you’ll want to change whatever sign you put up… because you’ll get acclimated to it and get “used” to it until you don’t “see” it anymore!) Whenever you find yourself falling back into old, self-destructive patterns, choose again… and again… and again…
Keep a journal of appreciation (not a negative diary!) chronicaling your small victories and celebrating your progress…
Change does not have to be difficult once you are aware of what you want to be free of…
A few things I’m SO happy and appreciative of freeing myself from:
- panic attacks
- friends and family who became dreamkillers in my life (I kept the supportive ones & made new wonderful friends)
- self-imposed limitations on what I could achieve
So celebrate today by giving yourself the best Independence Day gift and freeing yourself from something keeping you from a joyous Life, emotional, financial and mental Liberty and so you can continue your Pursuit of Happiness.

Maritza, My videos are the top 1,3,4 and 6 positions for my market on YouTube & my website is #1 for my keywords on Google. Now I’ve gotten high paid speaking engagements & high paying clients working with me… This is like a dream come true.
My twitter followers have increased from about 160 to over 1200 in about 15 days… Over the holiday season, I promoted a special in my jewelry line & increased my sales from last year by 1281%! I have been just tremendously thrilled!
Thank you Maritza for your "Easy Video Sales Formula" It answered three prayers for me. My favorite part was watching you navigate around inside each screen capture software so that I can see how intuitive each one is. I am so happy to learn about the s3 interface. I have not been able to use my s3 account for eight months since I didn't know how to get my media from s3 to my website. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
OMG, I just did it. I “spoke my article.” It took me 3min. I’m so excited! I’ve reached a milestone thanks to you.
Let freedom ring, today and everyday

Maritza, you are so right. We all have a choice and that is such a privilage. Not everyone in the world has the freedom to choose without being influenced by restricting circumstances. Your advice to remember to be our best friends and use the power to re-invent ourselves as we see fit is exactly what freedom represents to me.
I join you in thanking the men and women that work every day so we can stay safe and free. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great message on the many aspects of our personal freedoms and for reminding us that it is still OUR CHOICE.
and thank you, 365 days a year, to all who have and continue to protect our freedoms so we do have choices !
