Happy July 4th America!

The US is at a very critical crossroads.

If we keep going with the current flow of things - the future isn't looking too bright.

>> We have the global awakening of Islam, with their center of operations being in the US.

>> There's the health insurance issue that keeps growing.

>> Student debt and all the things any American citizen deserves to have should be organized.

But right now the negative trend is working in the opposite direction - both at the national and individual level.

On paper, the US has all the right elements to be a true superpower.

But in reality - it all comes down to the people. And here is the most challenging problem.

Human connections.

We don't really understand how much impact this has on the consequences of all our efforts.

How all the power of real growth and development is as a result of the quality of our connection.

How can we know this is the truth? There are all kinds of conflicts in society, a toxic atmosphere everywhere you go, and so much verbal and physical violence - all the things that have the potential to destroy us.

In contrast, under the same conditions we currently have, the US can take their fate in their hands and turn it into a superpower once again.

If there is no trend in place to strengthen the US at this critical time, it will crumble at the end of this process.

So we either need to get to work or continue allowing things to deteriorate. Everyone will decide for themselves.

You may be thinking - What can I do as a simple citizen? The answer is a lot! You can start making changes in your home, at work, with your friends, and in your community.

Everyone can contribute to what exists at the moment. Each and every one of us has the potential to impact the whole system in a positive way.

I know it sounds like a cliche, but one small act or thought of kindness can go a long way in making things better. Anything that makes us less absorbed in ourselves and trying to lift others is good for the collective.

Given the current state of affairs, what does America’s positive future depend on? America’s positive future depends on strengthening its social fabric so that people can disagree and maintain their differences, while still allowing the wellbeing of the American family to prevail.

Unity should be the centerpiece around which other agendas gravitate.

A hostile social atmosphere blocks their ability to be in pursuit of liberty, happiness and a prosperous and peaceful life for all. That lofty goal can only be achieved when the common interest is fulfilled by every stakeholder.
