Hi! elections
In the US we’ve just closed an election cycle and the results are in. What does resilience look like in the face of a clear winner and loser? The same thing it always does.
Resilience is your ability to navigate change towards a positive goal.
So, if this election turned out the way you wanted, who do you mean to be in the face of that success? What’s your admirable goal and how will you move towards it?
If this election disappointed or devastated you, you have an extra step.
- Give yourself a minute. You deserve some time for your feelings and to rest a bit. And then…
- What’s your goal? Who do you mean to be in the face of this change? What’s your admirable goal and how will you move towards it?
To once again quote from my favorite wise teacher, Adrienne Gold-Davis, “You are not what happens to you. You are who you choose to be in the face of what happens to you.”
Resilience, as we talked about a few weeks ago, is found in the working, not the winning. Elections end, but the work towards the country you need does not. If you’re inclined, I hope you’ll comment and tell me your goal.
All my best,
Dr. G
