Every year, on July 4th, I replicate on the blessing to have been born in a rustic the place something is feasible and anybody, regardless of financial background, heritage, tradition, race, gender, sexuality, or faith has the chance to succeed. That is the rationale why so many individuals around the globe dream of coming right here.
Is America an ideal place? After all not! We’re a rustic wedded in paradox.
We battle bitterly amongst ourselves however shortly come collectively when there are threats or tragedy at dwelling and overseas.
We’re materialistic, but beneficiant when others need assistance.
Regardless that we have fun a stage enjoying subject of 1 particular person one vote, we enable particular pursuits on all sides to dilute the facility of these votes.
There may be racism, prejudice, poverty, and exclusion.
Although every particular person has equal alternative to succeed, we don’t all begin on the similar place with the identical sources.
Although we have fun those that pull themselves up by their very own bootstraps we willingly present hand-outs to others who declare that they’re victims and reap the benefits of the system.
In America the place alternative abounds, there may be not and can by no means be a stage enjoying subject.
The brutal actuality is that life just isn’t truthful in America. Unhealthy issues occur to good individuals. Unhealthy individuals generally win.
There may be defeat, failure, and loads of roadblocks.
There are poor individuals and wealthy individuals.
Some individuals should work more durable than others to get forward as a result of they have been born into unlucky circumstances, harmful neighborhoods, non-existent dad and mom, poor colleges, poverty, or are immigrants held again by language and cultural obstacles.
Some consider the federal government makes use of taxation to penalize the success of those that have labored arduous to make one thing of their lives. Others suppose that not everyone seems to be paying their fair proportion.
Some individuals give, some individuals take.
Some individuals work arduous and turn into phenomenally profitable whereas others whine about their circumstances.
If you happen to dwell in America there are myriad exterior forces past your management. There’ll all the time be obstacles in your method. There’ll all the time be one thing or somebody to complain about.
Nevertheless, if you enable these exterior forces to manage your actions and ideas you hand over management of your life to the federal government, the corporate, the boss, your heritage, your circumstances, the whims and opinions of others, and to your personal inner voice that retains telling you that bullshit story about “what you may’t do.”
However what if right this moment you stood up and declared:
“Beginning right this moment I cannot depend upon, wait on, or hope for luck, the lottery, the corporate, destiny, or the federal government to assist me change my life! I’ll take duty. I’ll set my very own course. I’ll make my very own success. I’ll take motion. I’ll persist. I’ll discover classes in setbacks. I’ll look ahead not backward. I’ll flip haters into motivators. I will likely be empowered by my circumstances not impeded by them. I can obtain no matter I need and nothing can maintain me again. I personal my future. That is my Independence Day!”
True freedom is accepting and believing that you just and also you alone should be chargeable for your life. That is how you’re taking again management. That is the way you attain your desires. That is the spirit and basis on which this nice nation was constructed.
That is REAL independence. Make this your Independence Day!
