In the United States, we are very fortunate when it comes to labor. For many, if not most, on this planet, “labor” involves finding food and clean water; avoiding disease and destruction; and simply surviving another day.
It’s easy to take our labor for granted. To that end, you are encouraged to consider these points:
- If you’re reading this, you have the ability and opportunity to do what you want for a career. You are not stuck doing something you hate unless it’s by your own free will.
- If you’re a W-2 employee, never think of yourself that way. You have your own small corporation (whether it be just you or your family) of which you are CEO. Make sure you have a passion for your work and are being remunerated for your talent.
- If you’re a CEO or entrepreneur, you are in the noble position of employing good people and allowing them to take care of families and be active community members.
- In addition, you get to choose your own path; you’re own destiny. That’s not common in the world. Take advantage of it.
Celebrate Labor Day because you – WE – are so fortunate to be in a position to love what we do, create labor opportunities for others, carve out our own path, and fulfill dreams that others around the world can’t comprehend. So while you’re enjoying a day off with your loved ones and friends, remember that the next day, you’ll back at it with hopefully a little extra zip in your stride!
Happy Labor Day and Be Unleashed!

Good Morning Dan!
Nice message. Gratitude and perspective. I listened to a TED Talk the other day given by a young lady who had escaped from N. Korea as a teen. Wow. If that kind of story does not make one stop and re-evaluate, I am not sure what would.
Hope all is well.

Thanks, Marnye!
