We have made it through the debates and now are headed down the stretch. The major party candidates have given us their agendas and what they see for this country. They talked about the economy, social security, and foreign policy. However, neither one has talked about our nation's greatest resource - infinite potential.
I feel that our biggest asset is that with the little bit of freedom we have left, we allow humans to maximize their potential better than anyone else in the world. Its was America that build the Empire State Building and flew to the moon. We have heard countless rags to riches stories and that is why people from all over the world come here. But I'm afraid times might be changing.
People today seem more concerned about what they deserve from the government and not planning on achieving their goals. We blame poor schools and greedy CEO's for our failures and never look in the mirror. The politicians have convinced many that the path to being slightly less unhappy is through them. Humans weren't meant to just be average. God didn't create us just to grind out a living. What the people in power don't want you to know is that you don't need them. Your are powerful beyond measure. Society tells you that you can only become educated by working your way through "the system." and that formal education is the way. The reality is that the greatest achievers were all self educated. If we as a people strove to reach our maximum potential, things like tax policy and social security would have no effect on us. This issue is like most of the things facing this country. The solution is part government and part society. We need to bring down barriers to people starting businesses and movements. You as an individual have to help create a culture that encourages personal development. The greatest thing you can do for your country is to reach your infinite potential.
