Small and large decisions

If you are a US Citizen and age 18 and older you can vote and I encourage you to vote. The first time I voted I was 18. I’ve voted in every presidential election since and in many local elections.

You can keep who you voted for a secret. It’s your vote and not someone else’s. While elected politicians and Americans campaigning to get elected are known for their politics, citizens with no interest in becoming a politician are encouraged to voice their thoughts and opinions about local and national politics and on how US Politicians agendas effect foreign countries in the world around us.

I care about my neighborhood, community, State, this Nation and about what Americans do around the world. This is why I voice my opinion near and far.

As an American and US Citizen you are free to express yourself and speak up for what you believe in. This is a fundamental freedom Americans have, and it is important for us to share our thoughts and opinions throughout life.

I believe a good politician doesn’t rely on their label as a Democrat or label as a Republican or label as an Independent and instead leads by setting a good example. A person’s character is more important than the name of their political party.

People who want you to succeed and live a happy healthy life will encourage you to speak up when you want.

Every story has a beginning, middle and end. And in every story, there is a challenge, whether it is small or large. Whether you are at the beginning of your story, in the middle of it or near the end play an active role. Learn from other people who have realized the results you want to achieve and remember to trust your gut instinct.

Everything I’ve written in this post may seem obvious to some although not enough people understand and utilize these basic inalienable rights we have as Americans.

If everyone around you makes your decisions you could be a prisoner locked in a cell. When to wake up, when to sleep, when and what to eat, when and where to move are all dictated by prison guards.

Critical decision-making skills are learned as a young child grows into an adult and throughout life. At some point most elderly people need to rely more and more on younger generations to help them live healthy lives in peace and comfort. A lifetime of good decision making makes living a long healthy and happy life in peace and comfort possible for seniors and the oldest people alive.

Surround yourself with safe healthy people who actively make your neighborhood, community, this nation and the world a better place to live.
