I have a bold vision for the future of America.

Related to each of us doing our inner work.

This is going to sound far-fetched…

But we must envision something in the mind before it comes to life.

So, hear me out.

As each of us does our inner work…

Reflects on how we project, faces our shadow head on, explores how triggers are our TEACHERS and shed light on things we’re afraid to see in ourselves…

As each of us becomes more and more capable of responding instead of reacting…

Meeting new information with objectivity and humility…

And becomes more able to grapple with the nuance, the gray, the emotional complexity of life…

As the collective consciousness rises…

SO WILL THE CALIBER OF LEADERS WE SELECT.

So will the ability of people in leadership positions to see reality clearly, to make choices that HELP humans and HELP our planet.

So will our ability to see decisions from a place of ABUNDANCE, finding WIN/WIN solutions…

Not lack, or win/lose…which often reveal themselves to be LOSE/LOSE.

While each of us individually might not be able to make big changes externally…

We can ALL radically shift things INTERNALLY.

And when we do, the external parts start to come together with more humanness.

More patience, kindness and love.

Until eventually, we have this two-party system where both sides see reality clearly.

Both sides have plans to help the PLANET and help PEOPLE.

They might have different approaches, but they’re both SOUND approaches.

And we could say:

“My preference is this candidate, but I know we’ll be in great hands either way.”

Now, we’re a LONG way from that.

But I believe we must go there in the mind before we go there in reality.

And these little shifts within, these tiny ways we work on our own stuff, come home to our own authenticity…

Add up in big ways for humanity.
