The important thing is allowing the whole world to wake up. Part of allowing the whole world to wake up is recognizing that the whole world is freeโeverybody is free to be as they are. Until the whole world is free to agree with you or disagree with you, until you have given the freedom to everyone to like you or not like you, to love you or hate you, to see things as you see them or to see things differentlyโuntil you have given the whole world its freedomโyouโll never have your freedom.

Life begins to flow, and you never know where it will take you.
