The Cost of the Feast: Why Comfortable Chains Are Still Chains Let’s stop lying to ourselves about modern success. We love to boast about the corner office, the direct deposits, and the luxury perks, but behind closed doors, our spirits are suffocating.

FreeStyle Friday- 6-12-15

This is freestyle, and I am wondering what will pop off my mind onto my tongue and out my mouth. Feel free to join the hangout, message me so that I can see the link so that you can join the conversation directly or feel free to message questions and comments. I will give you a shout out, and if you have something you want me to  let me know.

Hopefully we will wake up before we hit the designed end for us. Also religion has been plaguing me for a few hours today. I need to ask at some point how do we escape the mind and spirit traps that have been laid for our souls. But hey its freestyle and I will flow, and hopefully you will join me.
I had problems with the embedded image showing up so here is a link just in case:
