YES WE CAN!!!

We have done it! I always said; “I believe in the good. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I believe in the good. I have to.” I am happy to be a believer in this mantra...and tonight I know that I am right. Good always triumphs over bad and the power of kindness can move people to tears.

I heard someone lash out in anger tonight over Obama’s victory. “He’s not the Messiah or the second fucking coming!” Well, that’s true. He’s not the Messiah and he’s not holier than thou or someone to be put upon a pedestal...but he is a role model. Someone who people can rally around, someone who can speak to this country and address our concerns. He is someone who can inspire others to reach for greatness, to doubt those who say we can’t change the world. For he knows that “yes we can”.

And in all honesty, isn’t the Savior, the Messiah, the Prophet, etc supposed to be someone who inspires greatness in others? Someone who teaches kindness, compassion and understanding. Someone who says “yes we can” to any dream? So, no he isn’t THE Savior, THE Messiah or THE Prophet but maybe if we are lucky he can be someone’s personal Savior or Messiah and be the person that inspires them to “pay it forward”.

CHANGE IS HERE:
