FREEDOM MONTH FOR AMERICA
We assume the rights of freedom and debate its boundaries in politics, yet how often do we take time to reflect on what freedom means to us personally?
Freedom is not a concept carved from stone; it is malleable and personal, always shifting shape depending on where you find yourself standing and the angle of the slanting light.
My personal definition of freedom is the ability to act based on my convictions without external restriction or retribution. It is the ability to represent myself as I see myself to be, not having to hide or disguise who I am in order to pursue happiness, fulfillment, and growth. It is the power of free self-expression.
Of course, there are boundaries to freedom. My actions should not hurt others or restrict their personal freedoms, and so this is the dance of conscience. Will what I want conflict with what others want or need? If so, how can I have the personal autonomy I need while respecting the freedom of those around me?
I believe there is always a path for mutual free expression, when we respect one another. Today, as we prepare to celebrate Freedom Month, I offer the following quotes as food for thought and as writing prompts:
“We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.” ? William Faulkner
“If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.” ? Noam Chomsky
And I leave you with these questions: Which, if any, of these quotes resonate with you? What do you believe about freedom and how do you describe or define it for yourself?
"We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that
all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Beautiful famous words. Those words really come to life for us when you consider the idea of owning real estate, especially your own home.
My guaranteed sale program is a solution to ‘wrongs’ in real estate for homeowners experiencing the Catch 22. In fact, this is how successful businesses are built. Identify something that is a problem for people and
solve it.
In today’s market, many homeowners really want to make a move, but are finding themselves in a Catch 22 – whether to sell first or buy first. They don’t want to end up getting stuck owning two homes or none at all.
My solution to this dilemma is this guarantee: “Your Home Sold Guaranteed at a Price Agreeable to You or I’ll Buy It*” My own revolution, so to speak, that deals with the age-old indictment of whether to buy first of sell first.
Your referrals help the kids…
Another wrong we are on a mission to help right is the indictment that life sometimes deals young people a raw deal. Particularly in the way of their health.
As part of our Go Serve Big mission statement, we are on a mission to raise $5,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. They lead the the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life threatening diseases. Families NEVER receive bill from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the treatment, travel, housing or food. Their focus can be on their child.
And as the leading not for profit hospital in our area, you probably know they need sponsorships and donations to continue their leading-edge care and keep family’s expenses to a minimum. We are committed to donating a portion of our income from home sales to this very worthy cause.
YOUR REFERRALS HELP THE KIDS overcome sickness, pain and setbacks.
Who do you know considering buying or selling a home you could refer to my real estate sales team? Not only will they benefit from our award-winning service, but the kids at the Research Hospital will benefit as well.
Just give me a call or pass my number on to anyone you know considering buying or selling.
My number is 219-293-8494
So, join me in celebrating the many freedoms that we have today that for those freedoms, some have sacrificed their lives that we might have a life that is more abundant. I hope my newsletter this month inspires you to pursue happiness and join us in helping others do that as well.
GO SERVE BIG!
With all my appreciation.
