HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Today, in Seth Godin's blog titled, "The Cost of Independence," Seth starts out by saying, "Freedom comes with a choice and choice comes with responsibility."
free·dom
ˈfrēdəm/
- the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint."we do have some freedom of choice"
What took place, some 241 years ago, was risky, to say the least.
RISK vs. REWARD
Many want the "fruits" of FREEDOM...of INDEPENDENCE... of LIBERTY...without the risk or responsibility that it holds.
"Trying to drive from the back of the bus might feel less risky, but it rarely leads to much influence or control as to where the bus actually goes." Seth Godin
Where do you want your BEST YEAR YET to go?
If you want to see change in your life...change in your community...change in your state or change in your Country....what are YOU willing to do to help affect that change? What ACTIONS can you CONTROL that will move the "change needle?"
REMEMBER: MY response is MY responsibility!
So as we are celebrating our FREEDOM...our INDEPENDENCE DAY, if we want to see change, let's do what we can but let us also not forget about the sacrifice that was made so that we can truly experience LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
