If we focus on the possibilities in this election instead of simply listening to or doing what we’re told, we could lead happier lives. Give this administration 12 months, step away from politics, and see what happens in a year.
I did this with Obama, whom I didn’t vote for. While I wasn’t happy with the promises he made and broke (remember when he promised to be the most transparent president ever?), I gave myself a year of serenity without living and breathing politics.
We all need to lighten up and get back to living real, fulfilling lives. Politics don’t define us—they are just one aspect of what we do, not who we are. Think about the damage some of us have caused within our families. Our loved ones deserve better, and it’s unfair to blame them for the stress we’re imposing on ourselves.
Enjoy the holidays, make peace, and avoid discussing politics. No political issue should ever take precedence over family or friends.
