Happy INDEPENDENCE Day (right?)
July 4th...what does that make you think of?
If you haven't seen the HBO special on John Adams do yourself a favor and watch the first few episodes of that miniseries. What a powerful reminder of the sacrifices men and women made for our freedoms over 200 years ago. Seems we hear a lot of talk today about the AMERICAN ECONOMY...(you've probably heard how bad it is) yet what I don't hear a lot about in this country is the AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY that we all have.
I have a friend who speaks and travels around the world, he's from India and he told me once, "Michael, if you can't make it in AMERICA...Don't PACK! Where would you go?" How true. I mean if you're down on America, what's next? You think someone's gonna save you or your house or your business? You think that's what those patriots were thinking when they were risking their very existence in their fight for freedom and OPPORTUNITY. That pursuit of happiness we hear about on occasion...
So today, Let Freedom Ring and let's be thankful for the OPPORTUNITY that you and I have NOW in America.
