On Friday, January 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump will be sworn into office as the President of the United States of America…For better or worse.
Although many of us were shocked by the news the truth remains ~ these are Our United Stated of America. And just as it was so important for President Obama to have all of our support to ensure his success when he was sworn into office, many of us who are not aligned with many of Mr. Trumps values and beliefs need to find a way to put that aside and bring support to our country in the ways that we can.
Please allow me to make a couple of points that may make this a bit easier to swallow.
#1. What we focus on expands ~ With all of our attention being focused on critiquing people and policies that Mr. Trump and the new administration are putting in place that we’re are not in agreement with, we lose precious time and energy that could be used creating solutions to issues and challenges that are within our reach to do something about. Not only do we get ourselves more pissed off by watching what we don’t like … that we have NO control over, but also we aren’t consciously paying attention to what’s around us that OUR unique skills and abilities could serve brilliantly as a counter weight to do some good in the world instead.
#2. I’ve been noticing several posts on Facebook with complaints about Mr. Trump already “breaking” campaign promises. Not following through with being the bully he promised to be. Well thank God for that. Let us remember that this man is from the business world, not the political world. He’s from old school marketing where you read the room and be willing to say or do, literally, what ever lie is needed to make the sale.
Over time we might be able to observe what he actually believes in but in the mean time it’s more important to pay attention to what WE believe in. BE our proactive selves.
Listen to what your Soul Energy is Expressing to you or through you. I react the most strongly to the talk about sending immigrants back to their countries, breaking up their families and the heart breaking impact of everything that’s involved with that issue.
This is Spirits way of getting my attention. Waking me up to do my part.
What I know for sure is that I can stand in the dark and scream about injustice or I can look for the light switch and flip it on. If all my energy goes into shaking my fist at The Donald for having a different point of view than I do, I can easily miss seeing an opportunity to help in some concrete way.
So, now is the time for us to look at the things in U.S. government differently that have been upsetting to us. If you’re plugged in about something, maybe spirit, God, source, The Universe (any name that works for you) is getting your attention on Purpose to direct your Soul Energy in a direction that can do some good.
Do you think all the chaos we’ve been dealing with all year long has been an accident? Maybe? Maybe not? Maybe we’re being called upon to BE a more conscious version of ourselves.
Leave a comment below. I’d love to hear your thoughts and I’d love to hear what you feel called to do to serve in a higher way if that speaks to you as well.
Many Blessings to You, Denise
