A choice in the race?
Like it or not, the race is on. It doesn’t matter whether the person belongs to “our” party or not. If we thought the mud was slinging before today, just wait. It’s only going to get worse.
Why? Because that’s the nature of politics in America, particularly for a presidential race.
But this post isn’t about politics. This is about how all the accusations, out-and-out lies, innuendos and family arguments can affect our peace of mind and self-respect.
This is an amazing time for our personal consciousness!
Yes, the race has begun. The question is how will we survive.
We have freedom of choice, but not of consequences.
Becoming worked up about issues over which we have not got control is a choice. But when we are agitated, when our blood pressure skyrockets and we find ourselves fighting with loved ones, we have no business complaining about those things because they are the consequences of our actions.
We could choose to be:
- the foundation of sensibility,
- the bastion of reason,
- the keeper of Truth.
In other words, we can remember that this too shall pass!
And we can then enjoy the following “profunditiesl”
So, let’s think about how we are going to “keep our cool” when all around us are those other folks choosing chaos!
After all, politics is a perfect opportunity for each of us to practice what we say we want:
- peace,
- clarity,
- wisdom,
- harmony.
How will you choose to do it?
