I ran across this “SWEAT” pledge from Mike Rowe and absolutely loved it, so thought I’d share… a great philosophy for taking ownership and control of your life! Learn more about this effort by clicking on the image itself.
Mike Rowe’s S.W.E.A.T. Pledge
Mike and white Ango-Saxon males may want to sweat in women’s, minorities’s, ethnic-or-racial-group-of-color’s, shoes while walking in them before signing this pledge. I appreciate it’s spirit, but it is rank with privilege: all the skill & work ethic in the world won’t help you if you belong to a group that is taboo.
How sad to live with the belief that you have absolutely no control over your own destiny. And I can’t for a second agree that the differences in us as humans make us “taboo.” Life is what we make of it, regardless of the challenges placed in front of us.
