FEAR of Failure, Success, and Obama
Jim Edwards posted a video about 6 weeks ago all about fear. (This is actually part 2 of a 2-part video.)
As you may know, I wrote about fear in my October newsletter (PDF), and our thoughts overlapped.
Watching Jim’s video, however, I began to think about the fear some of my friends have of the new president-elect. They’re convinced that he’s going to bring the country to its destruction. Or even worse (I imagine), that he’ll turn the country into a Garden of Eden.
Go read the newsletter and watch the video. Then answer these questions:
- How will our experiences cause us to grow as a country, having a democratic majority in Washington over the next 2 years? How will you grow as a participant in the political process?
- What will the 18-24 years-olds who voted against tax cuts learn about economic libertarianism? What will the democrats learn about their true mandate? Have you discovered anything about bundling too many issues into one office?
- Looking at the histories of other countries in similar situations, what can you do to help turn the country in a better direction?
- What’s holding you back, then? How big of a difference can you make by taking action?
