Keep your Spirit

I'd like to talk to you about a local magazine article. This article was written by a gentleman who is a business coach in the area and he talked about the responsibility that business owners and community leaders must take to take care of their employees and others in society in order that we can develop more caring communities that take care of all of their members.

It sounds great and I agree with the concept of people helping other people. I agree that there must be people in charge who can help those who might be less fortunate. The problem that I have with this whole line of thought is that it leaves out the responsibility of the individual to contribute to the development of their own lives which is an important step in creating the life you want.

Isn't that the thing that we're really missing in this country? Wouldn't it be better if we worked on a way for everyone to at least make an attempt to be accountable and responsible for their actions and their life in order that individuals might be proud of who they are and what they stand for?

We live in what has been called the greatest country in the world yet it seems that there are forces at work everyday that attempt to take away the need for personal accountability and accomplishment and teach people to rely on others or a government to get them through life.

It's important for us to help our neighbors. There will always be those who can not fight for themselves. I understand and agree. At the same time I feel it's equally as important to help people to become self sufficient and believe in their potential to create and survive throughout their own hard work and resourcefulness.

Soon we will no longer be the world's greatest country if we continue to take away our spirit to create, take away our willingness to take chances and gain rewards, stop rewarding those who have grown because of hard work and determination, take away the individual's responsibility to contribute and improve their own lot, and take away a need to stand on our own two feet.

Let's remember to be good neighbors to others but let's also ask that our neighbors return the favor and carry their fare share whenever possible.

Believe in your power to create your own special life
