The Stuff That Really Matters Most: Unalienable Rights

The final thing is our list of stuff that really matters most is, as Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence, our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to name a few. These rights given to us by God can be taken away, given away or lost. But what a loss!

These rights also will be your most powerful tool. Daniel Pink in his book DRIVE, shows us once again that we will do more on our own, for our own goals than anyone can force us to do or try to motivate us to do. Intrinsic motivation, internal motives move us to greater heights and lower depths than any other external force.

How will you use your freedom today? As Strongbad says, "For good? Or for Awesome?"
