As we gather today, on the 4th of July, to celebrate the freedom we enjoy in the United States, it is essential to remember the incredible journey our forefathers embarked upon to make their dreams a reality. With unwavering focus and a burning desire to create a new nation, they put pen to paper to craft the Declaration of Independence, forever changing the course of history.

When the founding fathers penned the Declaration of Independence, they made a bold declaration, asserting their determination to break free from the chains of oppression. Their conviction and courage remind us of the importance of clarifying our own goals and aspirations. Just like them, declare your independence from self-limiting beliefs, distractions, and doubts. By declaring your intentions, you set yourself on a path to success.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Declare your independence!

In the pursuit of your dreams, it is easy to get sidetracked by comparison or the desire to emulate others. However, those who signed the Declaration of Independence understood the significance of staying focused on their own vision. Just as they did not look side to side but remained united in their goals, you must learn to stay in your own lane and cultivate your unique talents and strengths, your God-given gifts. This unwavering focus enables you to make the most significant impact in your life and the lives of others.

The journey to independence is seldom easy. The Founding Fathers experienced numerous challenges and setbacks in their quest for freedom. Yet, they never wavered or lost hope. Instead, they held on tightly to their belief in their vision. Similarly, you must remain steadfast in your commitment to your dreams, embracing the inevitable ups and downs that come with it. The process of realizing your goals often leads you down unexpected paths, fostering personal growth and creating a journey of a lifetime.

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

The 4th of July serves as a reminder of the incredible power that comes from staying focused and encouraged in the pursuit of our dreams. Just as our forefathers found inspiration in the Declaration of Independence, you can draw strength from their conviction to declare your own independence and create your now, a called life with passion.

Stay in your lane, resist comparison, and embrace the journey ahead, knowing that with focus and encouragement, one step at a time leads to miles of greatness (Kristianne Wargo)!
