“Obama, Yes We Did! Now What Do We Do With This Fear?”

For months now, a landslide of Americans and millions of world citizens have watched with hearts full and fingers crossed as Barack Obama campaigned for change. American history has delivered up charismatic leaders, who have planted seeds in the hearts of those who would evolve our culture past limiting strictures and beliefs. Then we have lost those leaders to violence.

Since Obama’s campaign began to take off, and especially since election night, I have heard many people worry for the safety of our new President-Elect. This post is to recompose that worry into something vivid and new. If you are fearful, transform your fear into trust by trying on these steps. Really. They work:

Cancel the offending image. See a red circle around it with a red slash mark through it.

Get happy immediately. Think of anything that makes you elated and feel it.

Drop the fear. Stay focused on his focus
Remember that Obama’s campaign actively focused on hope, aspirations and personal accountability for our futures. He did NOT run on a platform of fear.

Give thanks
For here, for now. Be thankful for Obama’s inspiration and profound leadership up to this moment. Gratitude always neutralizes fear and negativity.

Dream big. Dream strong. Dream together
Consider that you get to make a new vision of the future and live into it. Believe “all is right in the world” and it will be.
