Would I trade my values for power? Would I stay silent about wrongdoing to protect my position? Would I minimize evil because of my disdain for another's opinion?
These are questions that I must answer. Those answers will alter the course of more than one life.
Choices I make today are a stepping stone leading toward tomorrow's paths.
Fate cannot be altered, however, my destiny is subject to the choices I make each day.
Truth and integrity matter. They are the strength within a person as well as the strength of their bond within their community.
If power rather than values, position rather than integrity, and alternative facts rather than truth are the methods and means I choose to form my destiny then I have sided with darkness and opened the door for chaos and instability.
No matter what my political leanings are, I hope I choose people over politics. I hope I choose love over hate. I hope I choose peace over violence. I hope I choose to walk in integrity and to walk in truth... for the good of myself and the good of my community.
Anybody can promise me the moon, but what I need is the wisdom to know how to walk in community on Earth. I suppose that wisdom begins with a choice.
