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
