Strengthening Personal Character Makes My Life The Best

Well, a new day is dawning in the USA.

Whether you are happy about the results of last night's election it is time to stand behind the people who are in the leadership positions and support them.

By support I mean ultimately do what our laws dictate but use discretion and decorum when stating your thoughts, beliefs, and different point of view.

I think one reason why Obama and McCain were able to make it as far as they have in US politics is because of their ability to understand and see what people are saying and their motives even if they don't agree.

Their ability to empathize, to be tolerant, and flexible are true signs of being a leader and I think everyone can learn from their example.

McCain did an awesome job conceding to Obama. True class, dignity and decorum.
Those characteristics are what have made him an amazing leader.

(I only wish we saw more of it during the campaign...on both sides).

So, Why am I talking about this, here. I know I am not a political sight. I wanted to bring a real example of the characteristics to strive for in becoming a good leader, parent, friend, and business owner. These things really really need to keep in the for-front of our thoughts each day we are doing what we know how to do best... give to others.





Well, there is my soap box for the day!

Here's to HOPE!
