Choose Hope Over Fear

I am truly inspired, proud, and hopeful this historic day in America, the inauguration of our 44th president, Barack Obama.

Today in America, we all come together despite our differing views and welcome our new and our first African American president into office.

While many thought this day was simply not possible, a long shot, a pipedream...others dared to dream of different times in this country. And, it is largely because of these hopeful believers that we are celebrating this special, unprecedented era in America today.

Regardless of our political stands, all of us in America and around the world can be inspired by this inaugural day. For we have all heard voices at one time or another, whether they were our own or belonged to others, that said we “shouldn’t,” that “it wasn’t possible,” “that it couldn’t be done.” Yet, today we bear witness to living proof of the seemingly impossible now unfolding into a brilliant reality before our eyes.

So, take a deep breath and inhale the fresh, vibrant energy of change radiating throughout our country and absorb it into your being this inauguration day. Use this breath as motivation and momentum in your own life to knock down whatever “couldn’t” or “shouldn’t” wall you’ve put up that’s preventing your dreams from becoming reality.

I believe that if we choose “hope over fear” as our new president promises, any dream is possible.
