Wishing all Americans a blessed Independence Day. If it has been a while since you read the Declaration of Independence, let me encourage you that there is no better day than today to fix that. It would only take you 3-5 minutes, but it would be the best 3-5 minutes of your day. The Declaration lays out the philosophical basis and justification for the Constitution (a document many of us have taken an oath, perhaps many times, to defend, possibly at the cost of our lives.) Those two documents form a coherent whole. The Declaration itself lays out the "Who/What/Why", and the Constitution build on that with "How". I hope you noted that those are 4 of the 6 elements of a good report - "Whiskey Five Hotel" (W5H - who, what, where, when, why, and how.) Have a blessed (and safe) day!

Today, as many in the U.S. observe the 4th of July, I find myself reflecting on the many dimensions of independence. Whether you're celebrating or, as Gabriela Acosta wisely puts it, hoping for more reasons to celebrate next year, it’s a moment to consider the deeper meanings of freedom. Independence Day traditionally marks autonomy from monarchical rule--which is particularly poignant this year--but deserves to be met with more than unequivocal celebration. Like all things, this deserves some both/and: - BOTH celebration of the freedoms achieved AND a recognition that there's so much farther to go, at home and abroad - BOTH awareness of the freedoms we look to the powers-that-be to guarantee for us AND the freedoms we need win for ourselves by demanding and acting on them - BOTH valuing essential political and social freedoms AND recognizing the personal entanglements and inner attachments continue to inhibit true individual liberation in so many ways This year, may we recognize that there are freedoms that we look to external powers to bestow and guarantee on our behalf, and other freedoms that we can only achieve through personal development and collective action. And, may we have more to celebrate next year. #independenceday #personalgrowth #collectiveaction #freedom

Happy Independence Day! Excerpt from President Cavin Coolidge's speech on the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence: ***** July 5, 1926 "About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."

The word 'Independence', carries a weight heavier than felt, means deeper than heard, and really is the one of the most fundamental, and basic right that governs the behavior of an individual. The exhilarating sense of feeling, when true freedom is achieved, is impeccably liberating and empowering. Maybe it is the first salary, or first profit, buying your own vehicle, moving in to your own house, regardless of what it is, the sense of freedom in itself, releases dopamine. But in order to achieve freedom, virtues such as determination, effort, patience, bravery, and many more factors are needed. Independence, or freedom, isn't something that can be confined to wishing once in a year, it is much bigger than that. Everything and anything that leads to freedom, or help in being independent should be celebrated and cherished by everyone, however small it is. Happy Independence Day to all those 'Dreamers and Doers'.
On this 78th Independence Day, let us take time to remind ourselves, and reflect upon the unwavering and relentless effort, and sacrifices that had to be paid, as the price to break-free from the shackles of oppression. Remember what Robert Frost said, 'Freedom lies in being bold'. Happy Independence Day! #August15 #78thIndependenceDay #ProudIndians

Yesterday, I had the privilege of hearing the Irish Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign and Defence Minister Micheál Martin, speak at the Hertie School. I was able to ask him about the security situation in Northern Ireland and, following the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, how he sees the country changing in the future. His answer was very insightful: 1. Brexit's biggest challenge to the Good Friday Agreement is not a possible reinvigoration of paramilitary groups but rather the real threat to the institutions that keep Northern Ireland together. 2. A lasting peace requires putting people first👨👧👦: The Irish and British governments are investing €1 billion until 2030 in the 'Shared Island Initiative' to encourage individual cross-border relationships and reconciliation using art, infrastructure and more. 3. Peace requires consistent work🏋️♀️: The peace process is not static but needs all groups' constant attention and investment. He commended the EU for their work to maintain peacebuilding as a constant theme. 4. Reforming Stormont🏛: The emergence of the centre ground in Northern Ireland requires a new approach to the governance mechanisms; namely, the removal of the veto. Institutions must evolve with the changing landscape. Overall, it was a message of hope. While recognising the serious challenge brought about by Brexit, Martin made it clear that it is not insurmountable. Peace and stability will prevail if all actors stay committed.🕊
We'd like to thank everybody who attended yesterday's discussion with Micheál Martin, Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland, at the Hertie School in cooperation with Freie Universität Berlin, and contributed to such a lively exchange on #Ireland's Voice in Shaping the Future of the #EU. It was a pleasure! The full event recording is now online: https://lnkd.in/e-UNYQyp
