“I was born free and I intend to live like it.
This means that I will live my life while I’m alive.
No one owns me except my Creator.
No one can put me in a box, a category, a social group, a voting block, or a classification.
I am fiercely independent, and with those aligned with me in common purpose, interdependent.
I know that with my freedom comes responsibility.
I take responsibility for my own actions, and I hold the bar high on myself.
I am not afraid to struggle, because it’s the struggle that makes me great.
I know that excellence always lies on the other side of inconvenience.
I am a learning machine.
I read, I confront brutal reality, I grow.
Long term, no one and nothing can defeat me, because I will keep coming back, stronger and better than before.
I will educate myself about the true principles of freedom, and I will strive mightily to preserve freedom for the next generation.
I rely on no man and no government to provide for me.
I will not follow the herd of mediocrity and victim-thinking.
I don’t follow herds, instead I run with a pack - a pack of Rascals.
Let others bask in their privileges, as for me, I will invest them in my purpose.
I will defy tyranny.
I will charge the hill.
I will make a difference.
I’m a Rascal!”
–Chris Brady, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best-Selling Author of “Rascal“
I recently reviewed “Rascal” on both Amazon and Goodreads:
“Passion produces the Habit which creates the Mastery of Your innate Talent…and
all of us have an innate Talent”, is one of many takeaways from a single page of
Rascal.
Have you ever done a thing because you listened to your Inner
Voice, no matter what the masses say to you? “You are stupid for even thinking
doing so and so!” Yet, you did it anyway and were successful. If so, you are a
Rascal…and that is a wonderful thing.
Reading Rascal brought a smile to
my Soul as I remember questioning so many things others told me was the only way
to be or go…because those others will run with the masses no matter where
their path leads them, even if it is over a cliff to their ends. Rascal will
empower you if you are one of those who is Passionate about fulfilling your
Dreams no matter what they are. I still listen to others, yet I do not let them
control what I do or think…my Inner Voice has the final say on the Path to
creating the Life I wish to Live. Negativity will always try and obstruct the
paths we all wish to follow, Chris Brady’s character Obstacles is the
manifestation of that destructive force within all of us. When we use of innate
Strengths to overcome those destructive thoughts and words from others, we can
all achieve greatness and conquer whatever is blocking us.
I am a
Rascal.
On page 81, Chris Brady quotes Confucius; “To know what is right
and not do it is the worst cowardice”. Truth.”
Are you a Rascal too? Find out by taking the “Rascalinity Test” after reading the book (there is an audio CD that comes with it as well). Yeah, you can purchase a copy through Amazon or other places if you wish, but You and I are part of the same community. The link below will take you to a community I am a part of…a community which you can join me in…and it’s called LIFE…wonderful, Peacefilled and Loving. :)
