I Love Failure

It is essential, day by day,
to remain responsible
for our actions and decisions,
​accepting our faults
​without assigning blame


​It takes Resolution to Force Change

I was having a discussion with a friend about the current events, the immigration and Muslim ban, the construction of a wall and so forth when he commented in a contemptuous way “what are you going to do about it?” Practically saying,  “nothing will change.” His comment kept me awake all night...

So, this is my answer:
It takes guts to stand up to injustice, yet: it takes resistance and resolution to force a change!
 
Until now, the majority of us were not happy with what was happening, and we were content by just complaining about it at our dinner table; only a few had the guts to protest and a few had the stamina to resist.
 
Well, that was the case before Trump. Trump has insulted our democracy and threatened our freedoms where it has empowered so many to find the stamina and perseverance to resist.
 
So my friend, I do believe that there is plenty to do and there are plenty of people that are willing to refuse to accept!
 
So for the entire dissatisfied population,  I do have a to-do list:
 
First, if you don’t agree with the status quo, speak up. ​Be loud and proud, their voice can’t be louder than ours.
 
Second, put your money where your mouth is. If there is an organization like the ACLU that is fighting for us or NPR that provides true information, make a commitment, a monthly pledge to contribute $5, $10 or any amount you are comfortable with.

Third, talk to your Senators and congressmen/women, put pressure on them; it works!
 
Last but not least, have the resolution to resist. This is not a sprint but a marathon and only the strong-willed will secure the future of our kids.

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!
