If you've been to our new facility (1250 Rt. 31, Lebanon if you haven't...stop in!) you may have noticed our staff shirts. Across the back, is a single word, one of 4 of our company's core values. These words, chosen at the dawn of Pro-Activity's existence, are the values that both propel us forward, and that keep us grounded in the moment.
On the back of the black shirt reads the word "FREEDOM". How appropriate a topic for this Independence Day weekend. Born and raised in a patriotic family, we were taught what a gift our freedom is. Not only freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but also the freedom to choose your life's work, your spouse, and the very values that you will base each day on.
Each morning, when you open your eyes, you have the freedom to choose what you will do with day before you. You are in the driver's seat and are fully empowered to kick it in to high gear, or to roll up the windows and watch the world go by. Freedom in this sense can be appreciated each day. With this idea, you can choose the healthy option, feel the propulsion of forward momentum and still maintain that groundedness that keeps you in the moment.
When I wear the FREEDOM shirt, it is a constant reminder of what got us to this point. For the blood, sweat and tears of our forefathers, those of our soldiers, and those of each of us along our journey, I offer this tribute. I wave my flag this Independence Day for the freedom we have in this great country and I pledge to make that daily choice to appreciate these freedoms and to continue guide others toward the freedoms they seek.
Happy 4th of July!
