Are You Kidding Me?
It just seems like we are watching a lifetime movie play out with the political landscape right now. Objectively speaking, it seems to be rolling Trump's way. His poll percentages have climbed since he got shot, and his opponent just dropped out with four (4) months to go, if Vegas was putting odds on the race it would now be Trump favored. Depending on where you stand that either gets you mad, gets you excited, or gets you scared, or some combination of the 3-LOL.

But this is NOT a political piece. This is a piece about what YOU can do about the shenanigans that are happening in our presidential race. NOTHING. You have a vote, that is what you can do. EVERY minute you spend worrying about it and talking about it and getting mad about it is a minute wasted. You can’t control who will be the next president outside of your vote. That’s it. You are not going to change someone’s opinion from the other side. They believe what they believe and they have all their social media friends that believe the same thing so it is their fact. You can’t change it.

You can wake up early, do a quiet time, exercise a little, eat right, work smarter at your job, and be proactive with your kids-these things you CAN do. These are things you SHOULD do. Because NO ONE else can do them but you. These things you can control. I see what is going on, I see that we are close to Civil War in this country. I don’t watch TV or the news but I can see with my eyes. There is a lot to worry about. But I am not worried. I am not in control. This morning, I got up, did my quiet time, did some light exercising, and hit my day. It is fun to just focus on the task in front of you and not worry about what is happening around you. I know who is in control, and I trust Him besides I KNOW I can not change these huge geopolitical events.

But I can reach out in love to that neighbor, I can work smarter, love harder, and be more joyful-yes, Joy is a choice. Happiness is circumstantial but joy is a choice. So choose to not worry about what you can’t control. Let it go. It will be OK and it will all work out for your good, even if on the surface you don’t see it. Get up, get smiling, get at them.

YOU GOT THIS!!!!
