Do you say you believe in freedom and then think, speak or act to limit it?
If you believe in liberty, you allow others to express their differences, so you may continue to express yours.
Liberty is an American invention that is easy to carry out – when everyone is just like you.
No sense straightening out a picture on the wall in a house that’s falling down.
What’s more important – the picture, or the house?
Let your point of view rise, and let go what’s less important (for now) in favor of what’s most important.
Crowds never take responsibility. Is any one raindrop responsible for the flood?
But you have to ignore the crowd and ask – is it right?
Is it?
All the other plans, dreams, and things you can think of take guts.
Guts to hug someone. Guts to follow your dream. Guts to speak up. Guts to say they are wrong – even if there are a lot of them. Guts to do it even if you don’t feel like it.
You got guts?
Mistakes are costly when you make them, and valuable when you can learn from others mistakes.
Learn from others. It’s faster and cheaper.
Many of us are involved in one thing (with one person, one job) and at the same time looking around for something better to come along that is worthy of our commitment. So we don’t fully commit to anything and as a result, don’t get the results we are looking for. (“See, I told you” you say.)
Are you fully committed?
What are you already?
What’s important to you? What do you love?
Wouldn’t you be happier if you were more of that?
