Declaration of Independence!

I have had this post stuck in me for about 2 weeks now and I have to get it out.

Being that is around our independence day I have had this thought circling around the idea of Declarations. As I have been doing my own Declarations and also as I have been teaching others about theirs I have heard and seen a common theme of " I can't say that because it is not true, yet." I have heard that little voice in my head and every other that I have taught about these things has said the same thing atleast once in a session. I pondered on how to answer this objection and then the inspiration hit me. The Declaration of Independence!

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence it was not true either. He with all the others that were signing that document were committing treason. I am sure the King of England was to say the least a bit bent when he read this Declaration. Just the same as the enemy to all of us is when we Declare any freedom from him and his habitual oppression. Before the ink had dried the forces of evil began to conspire to smash the will and spirit of these men and this fledgling democracy. I can image that thoughts were something to the effect: Are you crazy, England is much stronger with a trained army to crush you! Maybe if you apologize he will forget anything ever happened. Thats not true yet, you can't declare independence until it is true.

This battle of thoughts was just the precursor to the real bloody life taking battle that was about to fall upon us as a country. It was in this act that we learn what it is that we must do after we declare anything in our life and that is to FIGHT FOR IT! I am so grateful to the founding fathers and there example of ones that Declared and then Fought for it to make it true.

It is not the fact that our declaration in not true it is that we have not amassed enough proof YET! Let us declare what it is that we want to have in our life and then fight to bring it about.
