Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

Through a maze of links this morning, I somehow landed on the front door of The American Dream Project. Wow, pure inspiration!

It's been a bit crazy over the past week, and since I leave for Costa Rica tomorrow (yay! :-)), I'll have to come back to this cool project next week when I return.

Until then, I can say for sure that it's really cool to read someone else's words and discover that another's ideas and thoughts can resonate so closely with what's been bouncing around in my own mind for the past many months. Seeing these thoughts in writing is inspiring, and helps to clarify my own ideas in some ways. Nice. :-)

So, I'll dissect this more and come back to it again next week - stay tuned. Until then, read more at The American Dream Project. :-)

The essential ideal of America is to bring the greatest opportunity for happiness and the least suffering to the most people. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are more than words. This is the most noble human purpose any nation has yet seen conceived.

The American Dream Project is driven to change the way we work, live and lead. The inspiration for the American Dream Project started when I was thrust before audiences of 30 to 40 year-old leaders attending programs sponsored by the Graduates Club. Both my clients and the Graduate Club audience helped me see a new future.

Leaders of the future have a distinctly different agenda. I am amazed at their dreams. For many, ... what matters is meaning, great original ideas, innovation, family and honest-to-goodness improvement of the condition of everyone's lives, worldwide.

Today the American Dream Project is making films, publishing books, hosting video blogs and national webcasts, creating e-learning courses for high school and college students. We hold town halls and live local events to celebrate extraordinary Americans who use citizen enterprise, their own businesses, and their personal lives to do extraordinary good.
