INspired Action Journal - The Best is Yet to Come

The Best is Yet to Come!

There is a Chinese Proverb that goes: “May you live in interesting times.”

We certainly live in interesting, exaggerated times. There are issues like healthcare, education, poverty, national security. Just 10 minutes into any political talk show and you’ll hear: Who is to blame?

Government is an easy target: the candidates are often elected on a promise of change. But what happens when change is slow, or stalled? “Nothing changes, politics as usual,” is the common grumble. It helps to remember that with every complaint, there is a better version of government morphing in the future.

Right now, we all could use a break from the what-has-government-done-for-me-lately chatter. So here is one rampage for relief:

It is possible to look at our government, and say, some of it is working. Most of us live well. Maybe we ask too much of any government, looking to them to be a fixer of problems immemorial. Perhaps, it’s up to each of us to do the best in our lives. The Founding Fathers knew something about interesting times. They also knew the imperative of a dream, an ideal to look forward to. Suppose that dream is still alive and well. Maybe every time a business makes a sale, or a student graduates, or a senior citizen writes a memoir, maybe that is keeping the dream alive. We wanted freedom, expansion and happiness. And just maybe we are still on our way to becoming that dream. And aren’t we the lucky ones to dream our dreams. Perhaps, instead of waiting for a savior-leader to offer hope, we can be our own leader, discovering our inner well-spring of hope.

And maybe, just maybe, the best is yet to come, not just for our government but for each individual.
