ELECTION DAY 2008 - Your Power as an American!
Today the candidate of your choice will be elected as the next President of the United States of America …
or he will not.
What happens tomorrow?
Tomorrow begins a new era. The effect that the new president-elect will have on your reality depends not only on him, his energy, his thoughts, his beliefs, and his actions, but yours as well. And yours. And yours. And yours.
If you are a member of Congress, if you are a teacher, if you are a stay-at-home-mom, if you are an optometrist, if you are a missionary, if you are an investment banker, a police officer, a reiki practitioner, an ice cream store owner, an accountant, a millionaire, a man, a Christian, a senior citizen, a cancer survivor, an atheist, an adventurer, a musician, an astronaut, an artist, an EMT, a postal worker, a machinist, a Latino, a neighbor, an organizer, a dreamer, an inventor, an Irishman, a rescuer, a builder, a Jew, a chemist … if you are any one or any thing, if you breathe, then you affect the next four years of life in America.
Suppose you are happy with the election results. Will you celebrate? A passing moment of joy? Will you feel relief? Will you feel optimistic? Will you celebrate wildly? Will you focus on all the wonderful expectations you have for the future?
What if your preferred candidate loses? How will you react? Will you cry? Will you commiserate with friends? Will you feel angry? Disappointed? Will you be fearful for the future?
Take a moment to contemplate how you will feel after the election results are tallied. After you realize where your thoughts are likely to go, think about this truth:
You have the power to create the reality in America that you want.
