Don’t let reality break your spirit.

Recent news about the new US President worry every country, and for obvious reasons (economical and political) disturb Mexicans, muslims, and whoever was offended by Trump.

There is a lot of negative posts about it, you can read disappointment, afraidness, unfairness, and even pain on those comments. We are experiencing a break down of people’s hope, unfortunately that’s what they want, a bunch of people who feel defeated, with no energy to move on, and resigned to the future they’re building.

Thus, don’t panic, don’t let this new collective state of mind affect you to accept what comes in the future, find a way to take advantage of this news, use resiliency to shape again your ideals and goals, and share to others a positive way of thinking against this atmosphere of negativeness.

“POLITICIANS don’t fall out of the sky or from another reality. They come from American families, American schools, American churches and they are elected by American citizens. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders” — George Carlin.

At the end of the day we are going to blame us as humanity: blame for Brexit, blame for re-elect Rajoy in Spain, blame for the “NO” in Colombia, blame for the election of Trump in US. But you know what, people are not the problem, people are able to love each other and do great things, the problem here is how the system, the machine, is trying to blend our conscience to an acceptance status.

We are experiencing a crisis of consciousness, and your best weapons against it are: Staying informed. Don’t believe in everything the news or internet is giving you. be critical and build your own opinion. And don’t let this crisis break your spirit.

Thanks for reading, share and comment.
