9/11

Hard to believe it’s been 7 years since the twin towers fell.  Yet, recent election polls rank terrorism as way down on the list of voters’ concerns.  Perhaps that’s because nothing has happened on American soil since.  Seems like we take a lot for granted when something’s not currently a problem.  It goes to show how short-sighted our memory can be and how near-sighted our future planning is.

As Americans, we should celebrate our freedom every day, not just on 9/11 or the 4^th of July.  This doesn’t mean we have to wear red, white & blue all the time.   Rather, we should wake up every morning and chase our dreams!  In so many parts of the world, people don’t get to choose where they live, who they marry, where they work, what job they have, and so on.  We have all those choices and more!  Still, we too often act like we’re stuck in our own lives that we’ve created.

If there’s something you’ve really wanted to do – whether it is big or small – I say do it now!  Do it for the spirit of 9/11!  Do it for all those who’ve died over the last 232 years so that we could live free!

Do it because you can.
