Lessons from TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion – How It Teaches Us Courage and Values

Lessons from TEXIT

When we read stories that talk about big intangibles like independence, change, and personal strength, they often leave a question mark. What are they? TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion is one of those stories. It’s more than just a fictional tale about a state stomping its boots and seeking its own way. It’s a story that asks important questions about what it means to stand strong, stay true to your values, and always remember where you come from.

Let’s take a closer look at the real lessons Texit offers—lessons about courage, values, and the meaning of home.

Courage Starts with Believing in Something Bigger

Texit shows us that courage isn’t just about grand actions. It’s about believing in something bigger than yourself. Throughout the story, characters are faced with tough choices. Two cartel members are trying their best to shoot Charlie O’Neill dead, but he manages to blow them up along with a nearby dumpster. Then Penny’s friend from their interning days at The Washington Post, is murdered in cold blood in the street outside the U.S. Representative’s office. They must decide whether to go along with the crowd or stand firm in their beliefs. Texas can do it better, once whispered, was picking up steam and volume.

In life, courage is not always about being the loudest or blocking traffic. Sometimes, it’s about quietly holding your ground when everything around you is spinning and shifting. It’s about trusting your instincts, your upbringing, and your lifetime of experiences—even when it feels risky.

Through TEXIT, we’re reminded that courage often begins with a simple but powerful decision: to believe in what’s right, even when it’s a big rock.

Values Are the True Compass Through Uncertainty

Each society, every family, and individual has a set of values, seeded by your family of origin, nature nurture in living color. Values are the things we believe in deeply. Honesty. Hard work. Freedom. Family. Faith. Respect. It’s a beautiful thing.

In TEXIT, the characters are often tested on their values. The future they imagine isn’t built by chance—it’s built by people who choose to stick to their core beliefs, even when tempted to compromise. When the whole thing is corrupt, it’s always best to silently gather up your stuff and slip out through the back door. Don’t look back.

TEXIT reminds us that values ought never be an afterthought. They should be the starting point for every decision we make.

When the world feels uncertain, it’s our values that keep us steady. They are the anchors that help us weather any storm, even when the storm isn’t ours.

Home Is More Than a Place—It’s Where We Find Ourselves

TEXIT also shows us that “home” isn’t just a physical location. Home is a feeling. It’s where we feel safe, understood, and connected. Charlie and Penny have grown closer through the work they are formulating, succession of a behemoth state from a beautiful and blessed path of dirt the USA, which has lost its mind and about to skid off the highway sideways and down 800 ft. They are the real patriots. Don’t forget that Texas was a Republic, an independent country, until about a century ago. Great men and women together make the world maintain its balance on its axis. That is no easy feat.

In the book, the characters aren’t just fighting for a piece of land. They are fighting for the memories, traditions, and communities that make life meaningful. They are fighting to preserve a sense of belonging. They are fighting to preserve Texas.

For all of us, home can be many things. It might be the town you grew up in, the family traditions you cherish, or the memories that shaped you. Home is wherever you feel rooted. And it’s important to protect and nurture that feeling, no matter where life takes you.

TEXIT reminds us that without borders, without sovereignty, the country will dwindle and die. For Texans, change is imminent as the weather, home is someplace we go to rest. Rest is hard pressed with drive by shootings and insane loud music and sirens…in our streets. Texas wants no part of that sort of living. America is a Judeo-Christian society. Assimilate or begone. WE will not back down to criminals.

Change Can Be Scary, But It Also Brings Growth

Change can be unsettling and overwhelming. In the story, characters wrestle with fear. They wonder if they’re doing the right thing. They face setbacks, doubts, and moments of real vulnerability. But through it all, they keep moving forward.

That’s an important lesson for all of us. Life changes. Jobs shift. Families evolve. The world around is moving faster than ever. It’s normal to feel unsure at times. But it’s during those moments that we discover our strength.

TEXIT teaches that courage and values don’t make change easy—but they make it possible. They give us the tools to grow into the people we’re meant to become.

Resilience Is Built One Step at a Time

One of the most inspiring parts of TEXIT is the resilience shown by its characters. They don’t achieve success overnight. They face setbacks. They question themselves. But they get up, again and again.

Resilience isn’t magic. It’s built slowly—one small act of bravery at a time. Saying yes to hard work. Saying no to flimsy shortcuts. Choosing to hope, to believe, even when the future looks uncertain, to manifest all that we are meant to. How spectacular the human body is, where all the millions of parts, made from raw cloth, more often than not hook up exactly where and when it should, during the gestation period. That’s the miracle. That it can heal most things on its own, that’s another miracle. How does it know? Yep, another.

Through Texit’s journey, we see that resilience is something anyone can build. It’s about persistence, faith, and a deep belief that the best is yet to come. You can talk yourself right into a wonderful life. Imagine that? Now, act with intention from this moment on. Watch how the world moves to your step.

TEXIT – It’s About Coming Together

Although the storyline in TEXIT focuses on government and the upcoming general election, the bigger picture involves the movement that has not surfaced yet in social policy papers. People in the book work together. They trust each other. They fit together.

TEXIT gently reminds readers that independence doesn’t mean standing alone. It means standing together with the people who share your values and vision for a better future. BINGO. Hold that thought.

TEXIT Sparks a Larger Conversation

While Texit is a quasi-fictional story about Texas and independence, it taps into something much bigger:

  • The desire to protect what matters.
  • The dream of living freely and honestly.
  • The hope for a future where values, courage, and home are respected.

TEXIT doesn’t tell readers what to think. Instead, it invites readers to think for themselves. Become knowledgeable. If you don’t understand, raise your hand. If you keep seeing a word, over and over, it’s time to google it. It just might be the word you were looking for, and it often is. That’s the magic.

At its heart, TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion isn’t just a fictional story about politics or secession. It’s a story about personal strength, deep values, and the meaning of belonging.

It reminds us to be brave when life gets tough. It reminds us to stay true to what we believe in. It reminds us to cherish the people and places that feel like home.

Most importantly, TEXIT invites us to ask big questions:

  • What does home mean to me?
  • What values will I protect no matter what?
  • How can I be brave in uncertain times?

You don’t have to be from Texas—or any specific place—to experience these lessons in your life. TEXIT’s message is for everyone: Find your courage, honor your values, and hold onto the things that make you feel truly at home.

Because no matter where life leads, those are the things that will always matter most. So, if you want to read this book, buy yours now!
