Today's Motivation Monday: "The Walk for America"

NEW YORK - June 1, 2015 - PRLog -- TODAY’S MOTIVATION MONDAY ~ “The Walk for America”:

9-11-01 changed a lot of people’s lives.  It changed America.  And it changed the world.

After 9-11-01, I created my company, Motivate America and also became the only motivational and leadership speaker in America to EVER have a day of recognition passed by The United States Congress.  On December 18, 2001, Congress passed H. Res. 308 making January 2^nd National Motivation & Inspiration Day.  A day intended for all Americans to establish personal goals and strive to be their better selves.

I also created The American Motivation Awards, where we honor “motivational, inspirational and patriotic leaders in America. There is no other such program like it in America.

I then created “I Am America,” apparel, because I wanted to have Americans embrace the fact that we are ALL America.  We ARE what makes America great. We are not only the greatest country in the world, but possibly the greatest nation ever in the history of the world.  And yet, we have so much dysfunction, so many people blaming others for what they don’t have and the post 9-11 children have only seen THIS America.  NOT the BEST America!

In my book, “Who Are You? Becoming the Very Best You That You Can Be” I make the most significant addition to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in 60 years, which is considered by many the foundational study on human behavior and motivation.  Essentially helping people to embrace how to motivate themselves and become fulfilled, or reach “self actualization.”

I even have an audiobook entitled, “Take Action to Make Things Happen!” To help people actually take the steps toward changing their lives and taking action to change their lives, because, as we know, if you do nothing, things probably won’t change much.

Because of all of these things, I have positioned myself as “Mr. Motivation” and “America’s CMO ~ Chief Motivation Officer!”

Well, today, I am announcing “The Walk for America!”    https://youtu.be/_bcoZwFmeuI



I will be walking from Battery Park in New York City and Ellis Island in New Jersey on July 4^th, Independence Day, to Los Angeles, Santa Monica Pier where I hope to end “The Walk for America” on Labor Day, Monday September 7^th.

“The Walk for America” is literally for America!  To remind all Americans how great our nation is, but more importantly our children and young adults. #BlackLivesMatter, yes, #BlueLivesMatter, yes, but what our children should realize is #AmericanLivesMatter

We have become a society of finger pointers and blaming others, rather than having personal integrity and personal accountability.

“The Walk for America” is about motivating and inspiring Americans, mostly parents of young children and young adults to talk about the positives of America, not the negative, but also for ALL AMERICANS!   To take responsibility for our life choices and not blame the government or others for where we are in life.  To promote all of the positive opportunities in America that people all around the world come to and take advantage of and we as Americans don’t.  The “American Dream” is alive and well and we have more immigrants than ever taking advantage of that, but our children need to realize that the “American Dream” is alive and well for them too, not just for immigrants!  They just embrace it more, because of where they come from.

I am the son of Irish immigrants that came to America after World War II, because they believed that America was the greatest country in the world and they instilled that in us.  The “K” in my name was given to me, because I was born one month after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.  His most famous words have been repeated many times over the past 50 years and yet, not truly embraced; “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!”

Therefore, what I, America’s CMO ~ Chief Motivation Officer is doing for my country is “The Walk for America” #WalkforAmerica

I have invited each of the Governors from each of the states that I will walk through to join me for a moment or two along my walk or greet me as I enter each state or during my journey through their state. (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada and California.)

I invite any and all youth organizations to meet or greet me as I walk through each state, which can be followed on Facebook, Twitter, Periscope and other social media.

We have invited several corporate sponsors to participate in “The Walk for America” and we will release those as we make those deals.  We are also creating a Go Fund Me page for people to “sponsor” the walk for .01 per mile to $100 per mile, which is an anticipated 2,900 to 3,000 mile journey that we hope to complete in approximately 65 days!

There is a Go Fund Me page that has been established for “The Walk for America:”  http://www.gofundme.com/wb3epww

Finally, we will be raising funds for three charities, which we are still speaking with and will release details when finalized:

Operation Homefront (http://www.operationhomefront.net/ );

The Wounded Warrior Project (http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/ )  ;

and Operation Reinvent (http://operationreinvent.org/ )

Over the next 4 weeks, there will be more and more details released about “The Walk for America.”  There will be a Go Fund Me Page, as well as social Media and web sites.
