My 2-minute Independence Talk…
Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Happy July 4th! Let’s breathe and smile.
When I came to the US over 20 years ago, what I saw here was a freedom. The freedom to be whatever and whoever I wanted to be, as long as it’s legal, of course. This kind of freedom was the deciding factor for me when I was hesitating whether to stay or to go back to my country. I did not come to the US as a refugee. I was not looking for the government assistance. What I saw here was a virtually unlimited potential for business, for physical, spiritual and mental development. What I found out in a short order, however, most of people haver really no idea what the freedom is. They don’t know how to use it to their advantage. Remember, I am a foreigner. No matter what you tell me, I can see it better, coming from the outside.
Unfortunately, unless you choose to live on a desert island, the real freedom today cannot exist without money. I don’t apologize for talking about it. Some “spiritual” professionals tell me that money is not spiritual. It is not, I agree. But poor man cannot help another poor man. Poor men cannot build churches and temples. I don’t teach being poor. What I teach to
Love people and use things, not love things and use people!
I was blessed to be introduced to an amazing leadership team I became a part of. These people are teaching me the true meaning of the Constitution, the value of the Free Enterprise. They teach me how to become wealthy, oh yeah, and how to use the resources to make the World a better place.
We live in a great country, folks. Don’t underestimate what you got in your hands. I mean Freedom. Don’t lose it to a dollar bill. I’ll talk more about it.
Thanks for stopping by.
