Why Does Your Vote Count?

Tomorrow is an election day here in the United States. Do not neglect your vote!
If you want to see change in the direction the nation is heading, this is the best way you can DO something about it. Get out there and vote.
One of the greatest rights we have in this nation is our ability to vote. Despite all the messages of disempowerment we receive, telling us that our vote does not count, voting is still a privilege we NEED to exercise at every opportunity.
You and I are empowered to vote and choose new representation. Yes, I know that we are frequently faced with imperfect, and even somewhat undesirable options…but we still need to get out there and make a choice. When we do not choose, we disenfranchise, disempower, and disable ourselves further, paving the way for some really awful, unbelievable evils to be perpetrated against us.
We can protest all we want; you can post memes across social media; I can write numerous blogs about the evils, excesses, and lack of caring on the part of those “in power”; but short of another revolution, the best tool we have for change is voting.
They want you to believe that your vote does not count. If you are part of any minority group or capable of real free thought, they desire for you not to participate. Most of our so-called leaders prefer to keep away any who threaten their power, going so far as to cheat with multiple forms of disenfranchisement, voter suppression, and other dirty tricks. Power corrupts.
Further, they know consciousness creates reality. If you focus on them and their awfulness, surprise, you tend to draw even more of it into our world. Voting in an election is a chance to create change.
Vote for all you hold dear
This is the best legal means available to each of us to effect change. There is also an incredible amount of positivity that can come from exercising our right to vote. It is in this way we can do something about that which we wish to see improved upon.
We need to stand less against, and more for the things we desire in the world we live in. We need to do all that we can to be empowered, because when we are empowered we are in control. It is important for us to be as proactive as we can. We need to take a stand. When we go to vote, even if it is imperfect, we have made a choice, and done something to make a difference.
Finally, if you are somewhere that the local powers are actively taking actions to disenfranchise and keep away voters, this is your chance to do something about that, and help get some new, hopefully less corrupt and self-serving blood into government.
Get out and VOTE!
Finding positivity is not hard, but it does require action.
Knowing that going out and voting is an action beyond protest that we can take for change, we have not only the right, but the duty to make it happen. When we vote, we cast our intention into our ballot to create change, and with this action we empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
