Independence: Finding Balance

Americans love their independence. We love our freedom. It’s hard wired in each of us to be independent… and this July, we explore what that means

The truth is, no matter how independent you think yo are you are dependent on someone . No man is an island. You are not alone, and you can’t make it on your own.

That doesn’t mean independence is bad or wrong- it simply means that it’s a part of a pendulum that swings in balance. We all need independence, but we must keep it in balance.

Those who are not independent are moochers – sucking off the system, instead of working hard to provide for themselves.

Those who are too independent can be rogues, rebels, and troublemakers at worst, and prideful or arrogant at best.

I want to encourage you to be grateful for those who have helped you and continue to help you.
