This has been an intense month of
looking at personal and political thinking and I do hope that it has been
informative, enlightening and a little fun along the way for my readers. I hope there have been some good takeaways as
well. Things such as understanding where
one’s thinking originated, how one is able to change mindsets, how one can grow
in their thinking and how they can be accountable to themselves on a daily
basis in how they have used their mental abilities for good. I like the anecdote that John Maxwell used
about Benjamin Franklin who said that he asked himself every morning what good
he could do that day and at the end of the day he asked himself what good had
he done. Big or small, we should always
try to make our day count for something positive. I like to say, at the very least, give
someone a smile. 
I would also like to ask you, on
the political front, how you can use your power to vote in the next
election. I don’t ask you to change your
beliefs or you style of voting but I do ask that you make every effort to
exercise your franchise. It is really
disheartening to know that almost 50% of voters fail to vote. When I think of how hard our ancestors worked
to gain this right, this privilege it simply makes me wonder how little value
is placed on it today. Voting means you
can influence what happens in your city, province and country. Exercise that right.
