Who do you support in life? Who do you support with your attention, time, dollars, and words? What do you do to support those people? Why is this important to you?
Politics
I thought of this question today as I read tweets from many politicians, politicians I admire and those I disdain.
Some of the politicians I support have opposing views at times, and I don't always agree with the politicians I support, but overall, they are good people who tirelessly work for the common good. As it stands now, the politicians that I support the most include the following:
- President Biden
- Vice President Harris
- Senator Warren
- Senator Markey
- Representatives:
- Nancy Pelosi
- Seth Moulton
- Ayanna Pressley
- Seth Moulton
- Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez
- Jim McGovern
- Stacey Abrams
- Governor Baker
- Attorney General Maura Healey
- State Senator Karen Spilka
I support these people because they are focused on helping people and they are mostly Representatives and Senators from my home state, Massachusetts. I admire the way that these individuals are not afraid of the tough issues, and the way they work with logic, strategy, intelligence, and courage.
There is much I can do to support these individuals more. I want to start by learning more, and then thinking about the what I'll do in the days ahead to support their good work.
Family and Friends
I have many loving family and friends that I support in countless ways. Again, there is always more I can do to support their good living, and will look for opportunities to do that. Good listening and keen observation helps you to serve one another well.
It is important to acknowledge from time to time who you support and why you support them. This helps you to live a more discerning life, and a discerning life, in many ways, is a good life. Onward.
