U.S.A. Presidential Election ... 2008

Here in the U.S.A., during this campaign for President ... negativity abounds. Republicans are negative about Democrats. Democrats are negative about Republicans. Libertarians are negative about them both.

.

Perhaps we cannot avoid being inundated by the negativity ... but we can keep from being controlled by it. Thomas Edison did not create the lightbulb by trying to prevent darkness ... he focused on what he wanted, NOT on what he did not want ... and what Edison created has lighted the world.

Regardless of who you are supporting for President, each of us has our own Global Dream. I challenge everyone to keep your behaviour in alignment with your vision.

Differences of opinion should be expected, and even encouraged. Be secure enough in yourself to express your thoughts, feelings, ideas, and vision ... AND ... to listen with an open mind to those whose thoughts, feelings, ideas, and visions differ from yours.

As President John F. Kennedy once said, "Perhaps we cannot end our differences, but we can make the world safe for them."

Yes, you might learn something ... but more importantly, by listening to others you will model the behaviour others will need for them to learn something.

And while we are all learning something, perhaps new solutions will become apparent in a way that an ever increasing number of people can support.

I wish for you Blessings Upon Blessings,

"Ross"
