With change brings hope.
A hope for more patience, a hope for more love and a hope for a calm to the storm.
Today is a day for our country to come together and show the world that we are not only great Americans but great humans. It’s a day to take stock into what has not worked in the past and make a change for tomorrow. And no matter who you voted for… we all now have the same president. And we need to put aside our personal biases and see that by only working collectively, we can make a change for the better.
This isn’t about who’s candidate lost or who’s won, because that time has come and gone. This time in history is about what we can do to make life better for all future Americans. Because what we do today will affect change for not only our children but our grandchildren and their children. So the time to stomp our feet and throwing tantrums is done. Now it’s time to figure out how to work with who’s in power and get done what needs to get done. And there’s a lot to get done.
We need to hold our elected officials to a higher standard then we ever have before. We need to teach our children responsibility, tolerance and acceptance for everyone. We need to learn to respect and love ourselves, because if we don’t no one else will. And we need to show the world the dignity and strength that our forefathers and foremothers fought so hard for.
So now it’s up to you.
You get to decide whether to be a productive citizen of the world and move forward in a positive and fruitful way or be stagnate and stay exactly where you are. The choice is yours.
