Freedom

Robert Frost said, “Freedom lies in being bold.”  When I read that, I think of the freedom won for us in 1776 and thereby, the freedom that allows me to write this blog.   It also makes me think about how freedom has lead to change. 

With freedom come choices.   With choices come rewards or consequences.  At the GBTA convention this year, direct members will be using their freedom to cast a vote that will forever change the association.  Even if the vote is that nothing changes, change will happen.  No matter how this thing ends, people will be unhappy.  I COULD tell you how to vote, because I know how I am voting, but I won’t.  I don’t play political games and I won’t be told how to vote (Anyone who knows me, know that I am who I am and I won’t change for anybody!) nor will I tell you how to vote.  I will just ask you to use your freedom and vote.  Make sure you know all sides of the issue and vote for what you believe is the right thing for the industry.  Don’t let other make your decision for you.  Be bold and keep going!
