  Speaker 1: I say this that every single one of you, Happy
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: fourth of July weekend, Happy birthday America two forty nine,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: as you next year two fifty is going to be massive.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: A little weekend mindset reset coming to you from the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: beautiful shore of Lake Winnipesauki, New Hampshire. I couldn't think
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of a more patriotic setting for this one to do
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: something a little bit different and at the weekend mindset.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Instead of talking about the news, let's talk about what
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: this is. What if, during this time of America's birthday,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in this wonderful celebration which I personally love so much,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: what if we started to look at patriotism as exactly that?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: What if it's a mindset we all hear about patriotism
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: seems like the right thing to do for everybody. Got
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to be a patriot, right unless you absolutely hate this country?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: But why is it important? And why does it benefit
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you and me and everybody else personally? Because if you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: think of patriotism as this a way of thinking about things,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a way of looking at things, it makes everything makes
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: sense in your own country. And here's what I'm getting at.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Patriotism to me means unity, unity for your country unity
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: with your fellow citizens. Now, as corny as that sounds,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: how important is that. What's the real life example? Something
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we just saw this past week. We were talking about
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it on the live stream. When you have unity, you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: can come together for at least one cause. You may
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: disagree with somebody on everything, policy, politics, even sports teams,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: how you go about something, how you vote, if you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: whether you should vote or not. But with unity, it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: all comes together for the bottom line and wanting the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: best for your country and your fellow citizen. What's your
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: real life example. Look at President Trump and Elon Musk.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: They're fighting again. Oh, it's a mega split. It's Here's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: why I think it's gonna be okay. Despite the egos,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: despite the power play, despite what they both are. Here's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: why I think we're gonna be okay. Both of them
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: want what's best for the country. And to me, that's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: what patriotism is. And in your own life and in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: my life, you got family members, you got friends, you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: get other people you deal with, maybe at work, associates, acquaintances. No,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: but very very very rarely everybody agrees on to everything.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But as long as you have that, as long as
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you have that baseline common denominator that you want what's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: best for the country. May disagree on how to go
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: about getting there, how to do it, how you vote,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: what you support, what you put your money towards. As
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: long as you want what's best, it's gonna be okay.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: We'll find a way to get there. And to me,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that's what patriotism is. That's why it's so important. Every
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: time you think we're falling apart, every time you think, oh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it's just this split in the country is just irreparable.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It's just too much nonsense. Think back in history to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: all the political fights, social fights, disagreements we've all had.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: As long as that mindset is there to want the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: best for your fellow patriots in your country, everything works out.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Even back in Abe Lincoln's day, he had a team
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of rivals they called it. In his cabinet and his
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: advisors fought like cats and dogs, night and day almost
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: about everything, including one of the most important issues in
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: our country's history, the Civil War and abolition. But they
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: wanted what's best for the country. That is unity. I'll
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: tell you one other thing is I wrap up here
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and we all talk about diversity these days because it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: been such a hot button topic. And diversity is wonderful,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it really is. It's a great thing. They all come
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: from different backgrounds. It's like that line from Stripes, if
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you saw that movie from the eighties, all of our
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: relatives got kicked out of every decent country in the world.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: We've got that as a common denominator. But here's the thing.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: If you've got diversity without that sense of unity and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: then patriotism, you got chaos. As long as you want
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: what's best for your country, that's what matters. And that's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: how we're gonna be. Okay, I love this country. I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: know you do too. Are we go about it? Are
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we go about getting the best for it? And we'll
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: come up with different ideas in different ways, and we'll
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: fight about it and argue. And that's a good thing.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Look at it that way, because when you come together
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: for the bottom line for your country, that's what patriotism
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: is to me. Anyway, as they stand here and look
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: at the beautiful shore of Lake Winnipesaki. I'm sorry audio
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: podcast listeners, it's more of a visual I get that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: But you can see it on the other channels as too.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Just follow wicked wisdom with Bill Adams and thanks to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the likes and follows, and make sure you have a great, happy,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: patriotic for the July. And again let's try it. Think
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of it as a mindset, but joy
