As the 4th of July approaches we think of our Founding Fathers and their courage to express freedom and the choices they made as citizens in a new land.

It was bold. It took passion. Choosing independence can be a challenge. Giving voice to our desires and following up with action takes courage.

Whether speaking up in a meeting, starting a new career or opportunity or expressing your feelings to a colleague or loved one- all are ways of expressing beliefs, independence and choice. They can be bold and require passion and conviction.

We are always at choice. We sometimes forget this in the midst of circumstances. As we celebrate our country’s independence, remember to value your own freedom to choose.

If our Founding Fathers had forgotten their freedom of choice, we would be speaking with British accents. Thanks and gratitude to our military who continue giving us and our country the freedom to choose.

Happy Independence Day!
