America's independence did not come on a silver platter. In a
similar way our personal successes would not materialize if we
are not willing to pay the prize for their attainment. In the
Audio book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill,it is stated
that in spite of the fact that we all remember July 4th and the
events surrounding it, little do we remember that the principles
that gave America her independence are the very same principles
that are essential for personal success.Let's look at a few of the key ingredients of success that made
up the recipe for independenceDesireDesire is the key to the attainment of all goals, says Napoleon
Hill. You would not be willing to put in the necessary efforts
to achieve any goal unless you first develop a strong desire for
the attainment of such goals. The founding fathers had a burning
desire for independence and that is why they were able to go the
extra mile in their quest for independence for the colonies.DecisionOf all the principles behind the founding fathers' push for
independence, Decision could be cited as the master key to
American Independence. It was the decision of 56 strong men to
put their signatures to a document that they knew would either
bring independence to the colonies or leave all of them hanging
from the gallows that created the success story that is
represented in the three letters, the U-S-A! Luckily, most of us
do not have to stake our lives to achieve our dreams but yet,
everyone who desires success must be willing to decide once and
for all that she would be willing to pay the price for the
attainment of her goals.FaithBehind the great decision of the founding fathers to seek
independence for America was the bed rock of faith. Yes faith is
indeed the corner stone to every success. The American story may
sound very romantic now or even fool proof but it certainly did
take a lot of courage beyond measure decide to create a
prototype of a republic based on the mantra Life liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness. There was no single model that the
founding fathers could use to build this new United States but
they learned from others and had the faith to use theirknowledge of other systems and create their own unique system.
In the same vein, you must have faith in creating the life you
want to live no matter how ambitious it may seem at first.PerseveranceThe decision to seek independence did not in itself give
independence to America, even though it play the most important
role in the quest for sovereignty. This decision could only be
implemented with perseverance. Indeed it was tough in more ways
that we would be able to fathom today but the founding fathers
stayed the course with their army of patriots. This is the same
spirit that you need as an individual to be able to achieve your
goals.These then are a few of the key principles that brought
Independence to the greatest nation on the face of the earth.
These are the keys that opened the gates of freedom to let in
the winds of change that happily blow that star spangled banner,
O long may it wave o'er the land of the free and the home of
the brave.God bless America!
