Thanks for the example Sam

I don't know about you, but I have been pretty down about the debt ceiling deal this week.  I am also frustrated with this administration and the future of our country. 

But yesterday something happened that encouraged me a little.  I went to Walmart to pick up a few things for the camper and when I left the store, a man named Carlos looked me in the eye and said, "Thank you for shopping at Walmart.  Have a great day." 

After getting out of debt and starting to live comfortably, Sam Walton still had a vision for something new.  And despite different businessmen telling Sam that his store idea was terrible, he still pursued his dream.  Sam Walton followed his dream, passion and vision and created a worldwide phenomenon employing two million associates in the U.S.; one man affecting the lives of mega millions.

Carlos thanking me for shopping at Walmart, Sam Walton's legacy, reminded me of the power and impact of just one man. And I felt inspired.  History is full of individuals like Sam Walton who changed the world.

So we all must stay committed to do our part to take back America.  Like Sam Walton, one committed man or woman can make a world of difference.
