ellienihonAnd if Senator McCain is your man, do the same thing with him. Fear and anger do no one good.
Let's help President Obama help our country.
I want to make two specific requests (discussion follows):
1) 3 times a day (more is better) I suggest you say or just think to yourself "President Obama"
and imagine it being true right now, feeling all the great feelings that go with this thought.
2) Please forward this email to all your friends who you know for a fact are voting for Obama and will be thrilled when he wins. Encourage them to send it on to their friends.
Discussion:
It dawned on me that many of us are getting caught in the fear orgy the Republicans love to create because most of their policies are based in fear. They even fail to recognize that the opposite of fear is not hope, but trust and expectation. So eliminating fear requires practicing trust and expectation. Fearing the Republicans is just more fear and feeds their cause. They want us to be afraid, even if all we're afraid of is them. I don't expect us to never experience fearful thoughts, but noticing a fearful thought is a good time to think, "President Obama" and experience the pleasure that this reality brings.
When I first thought of this I anticipated that some, me included, would react with, "well just thinking about it won't do it. What we need is action." Interesting thought, but aligning our thoughts with what we want never hurts and imagining what we want never precludes getting into action. In fact, imagining "President Obama" is more likely to inspire those actions that will create this wonderful outcome. Not to mention, if a whole bunch of us are feeling good, instead of afraid, resigned and helpless, then we will probably get a whole lot more done.
Practice this thought and notice that it makes you feel good and certainly more resourceful. The decision to send this email came to me last night after deciding to practice this thought myself yesterday. "President Obama" Aaaaah. Happy and relieved.
I did the math and if each of us sends this to ten others and only five send it on then in 13 rounds this email will reach over 244 Million people. Probably less because of repeats. If we send it to more and let's say 10 send it on then in 9 rounds 1 Billion emails will be sent. Staggering and no-one is asking you to send any money anywhere or informing you that you have inherited money from a long lost relative.
When I first heard Barack Obama speak in 2004 at the convention, I thought 'This man could be President someday." Like many others, I am inspired by him and know that behind his inspiring words is a strong, thoughtful and courageous intelligence.
Let's join together to make "President Obama" (Aaaaaah) a reality by imagining together that it already is.
Thanks for your help.
