The candidate for whom you need to vote on November 8

You need to vote for you on November 8.

The president who matters most to you and your family and neighbors is the president who presides over your life: You.

It’s not the end of the world–it’s really not–if the person you don’t want in the White House gets there anyway. Will he or she affect the country and the world? Yes. Will he or she affect your life? Yes.

Recognize, however, that the person who will affect you and your world most is looking back at your in the mirror.

You pick your own cabinet. You set your own agenda. You make your own policies. And these choices you make will affect your block, your family, your house of worship, your school, your town a hundred times more than the choices someone makes in Washington, D.C.

By now, I’m sure you already know the candidate you will choose for President of the United States.

But ask yourself this today: Would you vote for you to be president of your life? Would you vote for you to be responsible for making choices and taking actions that affect the people and places most precious to you?

Are you up to the job? Are you competent, credible, and qualified to preside in the lives of so many people who are close to you and depend on you?

Don’t waste another moment on the negativity and scandal of this presidential campaign. Don’t waste another ounce of energy on worry. Don’t waste another relationship on arguing with someone who is unlikely to change their mind.

Instead, start asking yourself today what you need to do to prepare yourself for servant-leadership here and now.

Because those who are most important to you don’t need a president in Washington D.C.; they need a president where they live and work. They don’t need a critic of politicians far away; they need a servant-leader at home. In short: They need you.

Are you fit for that office?

Ode to Tracy on her birthday (or the “heathen temptress” who turned out to be my angel of light)

I tried so hard to talk myself out of liking or loving Tracy. The biggest reason I tried so hard to not like her is that I didn’t imagine she would like me back. I wanted to save myself the heartbreak, so I tried to coax my heart away... Continue →
