Home-Field Advantage

I was standing in the shower today, which happens to be a great place for thinking. Not to mention how the steam really helps a bad case of sinus pressure. Maybe the clear sinuses led to some clear thinking. It seems like I have heard nothing but negative things about our President lately. I'm not going to get into what I think about him personally or his policies. What I want to talk about is changing negative into positive. This man has one of the hardest jobs in the world. I would NEVER want his job, nor would I ever be qualified. When he wakes up in the morning, he has to make serious and important decisions that affect this entire country. I seriously doubt he wakes up thinking, "What can I do to screw over my fellow Americans?" He wants to help. He wants to make a difference. I think the hardest part of his job is trying to make everyone happy. That is impossible. How would you like to see that on your job description? Seeking employee who can take constant criticism, not always constructive; has a hard head for beating against brick walls; is willing to work towards an unattainable goal. You get my point. Now imagine that is your job and when you walk into work everyday, you know that half of the office has been talking smack about you, including the person who hired you. There are people there who never wanted you hired in the first place and are just waiting for you to make a mistake so they can run to the boss saying "I told you so!" Would you really want to go into work? Would you be motivated? Would you be inspired? Exactly. You'd probably quit. Now imagine if you had the same job description, but everyone at work was behind you. Some of them may be skeptical, but still tell you that they are there for you and if you need help, just ask. You would have one less thing to worry about. Ok...what the hell am I getting at, right? Here it is. Instead of constantly criticizing our President, why don't you say a prayer for him. Why don't you ask the Lord to give him the strength to make the right decisions for our country. He is the leader of our wonderful country. Why do you want him to fail? So you can say, "I told you so" or "I didn't vote for him, so don't blame me." We should all be united as a country. We all know you can't make everyone happy. We've all been put in the situation and it is impossible. You have to do your best to make the smartest decision. So say a little prayer for our leader, that he has the proper guidance to do his best and make the best decisions. Otherwise, I suggest you start doing your background checks, doing some fundraising and get yourself a campaign advisor so you can get elected and do a better job. Things didn't start going downhill in this country after the last election. It has been in progress for years and there are numerous people to blame, including ourselves. If you need a little help getting started, why don't you check out The Presidential Prayer Team. I'm glad I'm not the only one directing their energy in the right place. If you don't believe in the power of prayer, then send some good positive thoughts/mojo/juju...whatever. Why do you think sports teams do so well when they play at home? Because they know they have the whole stadium cheering them on! Thousands of people wanting them to succeed and win. My hubby is a Redskins fan. Lord knows they have done some stupid things, played like crap, and lost quite a few games...but he is still a die-hard fan. It's time for the 12th man to step up and cheer on our leader. Let's all be die-hard fans and bust out the face paint if you have to, just do what it takes to get on board and cheer on our team and our leader. Stop yelling at the TV screen. No one is listening. :)
