Your Independence Day
On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.
in·de·pend·ence /ˌɪn dɪˈpɛn dəns/ Pronunciation Key - Spelled Pronunciation [in-di-pen-duh ns]
–noun
1. Also, independency. the state or quality of being independent.
2. freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others.
I’ve always enjoyed Independence Day. Most of you may know today as “4th of July” and there’s certainly no harm in that. I’ve always been one for a good baseball game, grilling out, and a colorful fireworks show. For me however, the word independence has always had a special meaning, even from a very early age. As early as I can remember, I reveled being out on my own, whether it was riding my bike in the woods, away at camp, or finding odd jobs to do around the neighborhood to earn my own income and spending money. It’s something that’s been ingrained in my DNA I guess.
I see both of my children doing and thinking on their own even at their early age. As a parent, I allow them to make their own choices and even some mistakes along the way. One of the amazing aspects of being a human being is that we all have free will, and I believe free will is one of the most important traits that we as humans can express in our lives.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
~ The Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776
In this country we are able to think and do as we wish. It’s a freedom our founding fathers wrote as a declaration, fought hard to establish, and our Armed Forces still sacrifice for us to this day.
Some may not like our choices; some may even relentlessly ridicule and scorn others for thinking and doing what we choose in our pursuit of happiness. The true beauty of Independence Day is that we are gifted with the Right to choose if all the fuss really means a thing. We only need to be concerned about our own happiness and dreams.
What a Country!
For those of us who are our own thinkers, our own creators of life and happiness, today you need to remember that this is your Right. It’s a founding declaration that millions have fought to uphold and protect for hundreds of years, and millions will continue to do so for hundreds more. And to think it all started with just 56 men who got the ball rolling more than 230 years ago.
Based on what I’ve experienced, especially this past year, I’m more grateful that ever that I’ve found a company and a model that allows me to express my freedom and independence as an Independent Representative. It’s not always easy, it’s not always comfortable, but it IS extremely rewarding.
Here’s to your own independence to create the life you want.
Now it’s time to go enjoy a day at the pool with the family, fire up the coals, grill something incredible to eat, and enjoy some of the best fireworks found in the Southeast which will be set off just minutes away from the house when the sun sets at the end of this glorious day.
