Much of the essence of living the heartlife is embracing the process of calling one's own power back into their life. Not the power to dominate but the power of spiritual will. The will power to pull yourself up by the proverbial boot straps and say NO to being a victim, NO to feeling helpless, NO to being dishonest, or NO to being a slave to an addiction.
Last night an overwhelming number of Americans, many for the very first time, called their power back by voting. The majority of those voices voted for a new leader, one that they feel will guide them towards not only great, positive change for the United States of America and the world, but deep within them this half black, half-white man that embodies a history of unprecedented diversity, will guide them back to their own personal ability to create powerful, positive change within their own personal life.
I was deeply moved by the historical events of last night. Along with John McCain's humble, heart-felt speech to the incredible sight of this young, family-man holding is daughter's hands as he, along with his wife, stepped on to the stage in Chicago.
