# A manifesto of personal freedom

1. I don't let anyone upset me.
2. I don't let myself complain.
3. I give off energy rather than consume it. I give the people around me positivity for free, and I enjoy the feeling of giving.
4. I don't depend on anyone, let alone on "circumstances".
5. Only I decide how to act in a given situation.
6. Only I know the right way to act in a given situation (otherwise I'll end up blaming someone for bad advice).
7. I take responsibility for what I do, so that I'm free to carry out my plans.
