Happy Independence Day America!

Mark Twain Patriot quote
Happy Independence Day America!

 

Will say it again…

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. – Mark Twain

God Bless America!

And God Bless the midlife heretic who fights for freedom from the status quo. Once accomplished and defended, it is a freedom known as authenticity.

We cherish authenticity in others. We long for it ourselves.

To whom much has been given (that would be all of us)

Much of what we fear and hope for is influenced by media.

Much of what we imagine will be required for true success is relatively untested until we actually do a bunch of scary things and see how it turns out.

Ultimately, there is no one size fits all. No well-worn path to success. No recipe.

So we must develop our own convictions. This is exciting and scary simultaneously.

That is, until we tackle enough scary stuff to actually make progress past what we thought was just a pipe dream.

It is breaking through to the mostly unknown that we truly begin to see faith, hope, and blessings beyond measure.

Prayers for the guts to fire the devil

empty, cold parking lot
Life on the road is often cold and lonely – we see what we want to see, no?

 

We either began yesterday on our knees or we didn’t.

Only one person in charge of counting our blessings.

One.

Sometimes, we see this CEO counting excuses instead.

Why this CEO isn’t fired is beyond explanation.

Prayers for the guts to fire the devil.
