The Drawbacks and Consequences of Being Uninformed!

Studies show that obesity, illness and poverty are on the rise. Unhappiness now is the norm. So what is the cause of our personal decline? Do we enjoy worry? Does worry give us a reason to not seek goals and dreams?

Could this crown of defeatism be our success? And are we hiding in our own self-made prison cells? If so, who holds the key to unlock the prison door?

Do we feel safe behind bars because we don't have to accept owner-ship for the emotional, financial and spiritual chaos facing us each day? How did we get here? Could the answer be simply by not paying attention to events happening around us? Watching the evening news is not pleasant, and how do we know the news anchors are reporting truth?

The radical evilness of beheading and burning innocent victims is being reported on the news daily.  Threats of nuclear attacks are lurking in the shadows.  Food prices are soaring and The Affordable Health Care Act is reaping havoc with small business owners.

Do we rationalize not paying attention to world affairs because we don't want negative to enter our minds?  Or is the answer because we just don't care? Are we too busy with our job (if we are fortunate enough to have one), raising kids, paying bills and social engagements to be informed?

Whatever the reason we have now granted government, financial institutions and political correctness power over our lives. What happened with integrity based values and personal responsibility?

Where is the heartfelt pride of ownership in our country?

Not paying attention, especially to our enemies is a form of lunacy on our part. What we don't know is destroying us as a world, a nation, a community, family and an individual. Now we're in trouble. We live in a world where crisis is the norm. We gave right of ownership of our lives to government and financial institutions; and we are now reaping the consequences of these choices.

Nothing is more dangerous than sincere ignorance.

Experts note that Individualized societies thrive because of collective thought and action for personal responsibility. We were born for success in all areas of our lives. We are Americans. Let's take back our dreams, healthcare, freedoms and self-respect. United we can stop the madness of what we see on the evening news.

We were created for happiness and success. When we learn how to live in present moment we can experience life's blessings, reach out to help others, build relationships and grow careers. We have the power to choose. We want freedom but freedom comes with responsibility and accountably. Nothing is more dangerous than sincere ignorance. Take responsibility for our country and the freedom to live our life as we choose. Government or financial institutions have no right to dictate our choices.
