Happy 250th Birthday, America.
Two hundred and fifty years old… and honestly, we still look pretty good for our age.
Like anyone who’s made it this far, we’ve got our scars. We’ve had seasons we’re proud of, and seasons we’d rather forget. We’ve stumbled, argued, rebuilt, and kept moving forward.
There is still so much work to do. There always will be.
But perspective matters. In the story of nations, 250 years is remarkably young. We’re still growing. Still learning. Still writing the next chapter.
Maybe it’s a little amazing grace—or maybe just amazing luck—but I never want to take for granted how fortunate I am to call this country home. There’s something extraordinary about a place where millions of people from different backgrounds continue striving toward the same promise: that tomorrow can be better than today. An especially important lesson for entrepreneurs.
Here’s to celebrating where we’ve been, appreciating what we have, and believing in what we can still become.
Here’s a clip from Robin Williams showing us it’s always a good time to feel a bit of patriotism.
Happy Independence Day.
Hopefully, this day is a reminder to all that, despite our differences, we have a lot to be proud of.
