A Mini-Rant: Whatever Happened to "We the People"?

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know.
Knowing is not enough! You must take action.
Anthony Robbins

It's Friday and I like to keep it short. When I saw the quote above I couldn't help but think about the political mess the U.S. is in. This isn't about being on the Left or Right.

​If any of us ran our businesses the way Congress is acting now, we'd be out of business. I recognize it's easy to be on the outside and criticize, but we've got a government that's forgotten about We the People!

Think about a customer service problem you might have had in your business that simply wasn't your fault. Instead of pointing fingers and doing nothing, you took action and fixed it, because that's what the customer expected. It's what you needed to do to build loyalty and grow your business. You were a problem solver and didn't let complacency get in the way.

I'm back to not watching the news because I'm tired of all the finger-pointing, the lies, the whining, and the complete disregard for the people. I'm tired of all the "fat cats" in Washington who do nothing but criticize and want to take away health benefits, cut back on the social security we've all spent a lifetime paying and take no responsibility for their inaction. 

Want to end the government shutdown? Stop paying the members of Congress!
