-Charles Austin Beard
As you CELEBRATE these next days with BBQs, pool time and the occasional tasty adult beverage, REMEMBER the purpose of this celebration.
As FREE men and women, we celebrate our INDEPENDENCE from tyranny, illegal taxation and control over our thoughts and ideas. We are PRIVILEGED with the ability to CHANGE our position in life through hard work, education and focus. We are provided the LIBERTY to speak out against a government that insists on controlling our outcomes and the use of the fruits of our labors.
As you CELEBRATE, consider your RESPONSIBILITY as a citizen to your fellow man and your DUTY to limit the government's ability to make your decisions for you. We live in a time of GREAT unrest within our domestic and international borders. We have a LEADERSHIP that believes it knows what is best for you and those after you. Regardless of how you FEEL or voted, YOU have the RIGHT and DUTY to make sure that you stand for your beliefs and fight for the rights of others… even in DISAGREEMENT.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
During this past year, I participated in Leadership Nashville, a leadership development and enhancement course for C-Level Executives along with Civic and Community Leaders.
During a course, I remember DISAGREEING with a statement made by someone and FIGHTING for my perspective. Needless to say, I stood alone on my principle; HOWEVER, one of the greatest comments ever made to me was said…
"While I disagree with your statement, I will fight for your ability to make it. Your perspective is every bit as important as any other, maybe more, simply because you are the one person standing against the group."
Agree or disagree… remember that your FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE is derived from your ability to take action against organizations. Stand STRONG… and CELEBRATE your FREEDOM!
Cheers,
Zach
