Take Election Day to get Your House in Order!

Election day in the U.S…today is the big one that comes around
every 4 years as we vote for a new President.

Every time this occurs, somewhere just over 50% of our voting
population is going to be happy and the other 49% (give or take)
are going to have the opportunity to truly face their issues, as
they ponder the implications of the next 4 years.

In this election, the outcome seems to take on even greater
significance because of the problems with the world economy, the
investing markets, the state of the war in Iraq, etc.

There’s gotta be a cosmic lesson in all this. Perhaps that lesson
opportunity is an internal one….just like it is for the fans of
both teams on a football field, praying that their team will win.

The outcome of the election is out of our individual hands, but
we can control our response to that outcome. If we find that we
have an emotional reaction to any of the above, it signifies that
we haven’t gotten our personal houses in order, so to speak.

If we’re concerned that Obama will tax away all our income,
perhaps we need to deal with issues around lack. If we’re
concerned that McCain’s troop policies will further hurt our
international relations, maybe we have to address personal image
issues. Invariably, if we’ve gotten hurt badly by the declines in
various markets, we must ask ourselves, “Did I take the
appropriate steps along the way to safeguard myself against this
outcome…or did I get sucked in by my emotions as markets were
going up?”

Take initial comfort in knowing that everyone is in this same
boat, to various degrees. But then, use the opportunity to dig
deep and do the work to build your individual emotional fortress.
Because that’s what it is all about…finding the good feeling
place within yourself even as external things aren’t at their
optimum. That’s the magnet of attracting what you do want.
Remember?

    I think we need to stop thinking that the Gov. (either Liberals or Conservatives) will make a huge difference in our life. We need to take charge of our own lives and take the bull by the horn.

    If you think your taxes are going up, then start a business and you’ll have more options to protect some of your income.

    Either way, don’t think for a moment that our Gov will bail you out. Just take charge and prosper on your own merits

    Good Luck

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks for your comments. You remind us that, ultimately, we each need to take inspired action in our own lives to create what we want.

    As we become more clear about what we want to experience in our lives (joy, abundance, love, friendship, health - you name it!), then we can expect options to start showing up for us. We need to keep our eyes open so that we notice and acknowledge them; and when we find an option that inspires us, it’s time to take action in alignment with our desires.
