Yesterday, the United States celebrated its 248th year of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. In today's episode, I provide a little history for you. 

Today in the United States of America we celebrate the Declaration of Independence. Freedom came at a tremendous cost. We cannot lose it. 

Our tongues can be sharper than a sword. Choose your words carefully. 

The first half of the year is over. Make the second half of the year your best half. 

Comparing ourselves to others is a hollow comparison. In today's episode, I talk about how to find success in your life. 

Take ownership of your life. If you do something wrong or say something hurtful, apologize.

Share your experiences, even the bad ones. Don't waste your pain. It can be used to benefit others. 

Insults can be harmful, and they can leave scars we never see. Let's think before we speak. 

It takes courage to go against the crowd. Most people want to fit in and not rock the boat. When your leadership moment presents itself, find the strength and courage within you to do what's needed. 

On the other side of darkness, you will find peace and contentment.
