Thanks for the comment, Michael. Like you, I immediately thought of US politics. We begin by working on ourselves and not letting our own emotions rule us. The most frustrating part for me is trying to find reliable, unbiased factual information. I like to make informed decisions, and it’s hard to know where to look, you know?

I’ve gotten pretty good at not allowing others to trigger emotional responses, and I’ve learned to take a step back, choosing my emotion before making decisions or taking action. The more I practice, the easier it is to reject fear and anger and keep a cool head. Easier said than done, I admit, but it makes for a much more peaceful life.

Thanks again. Blessings!
