Seize Your Leadership Day: DO Something For The Fourth

by Miki Saxon

Real leadership is found in everyday actions and the way you choose to live. You can’t dictate how others do it or how they perceive you, you can only control and direct yourself.

Today I offer up two ways you can lead.

If each of you do them and encourage three friends to do them and they each draw in three more and on and on we can make one hell of a difference.

First, the Four Freedoms Franklin Delano Roosevelt described in his State of the Union speech on the eve of WWII in 1941 seem to be on the wane in our own country.

So starting today be willing to defend each if you see it being subverted and remember that it’s their freedom—not your way or the highway.

Second, click AnySoldier and learn what you can do directly to help those serving.

“Any Soldier Inc. started in August 2003 as a simple family effort to help the soldiers in one Army unit; thus, our name. Due to overwhelming requests, on 1 January 2004 the Any Soldier® effort was expanded to include any member of the Armed Forces in harm’s way.”

So shake your piggybank, hit up the folks at the BBQ, have a garage or bake sale and DO something for those who are doing so much for you.

Do it whether you believe in the fighting or not. Supporting the troops has nothing to do with the politics that put them there, they are your brothers, sisters, friends, schoolmates, colleagues and they deserve everything you can do.

Finally, enjoy this stunning display of Army expertise. Beautiful, amazing and inspiring.
