Thanks so much to the people who replied to last weeks video on the election.
It seems that many people related to how important it is to focus on what CONNECTS us rather than what DIVIDES us.
This week a short video on what to do when dark clouds start circling. While I know I have mentioned it before, I thought it important to remind everyone (including myself!)

So we’ve just had our election and I have to tell you the results have not made everyone happy.
Some people are quite furious about it and there’s a lot of people going “why?”
Was it the Queenslanders? Was it the independents? Was a dodgy voting tactics?
At the end of the day the answer is, “It doesn’t matter.”
The whys don’t really matter. The question that’s most important is, “What are going to do now?”
If you’re a person who’s committed to the environment, how can you still make a stand? How can you influence your local Member of Parliament regardless of what party that they’re part of? If there’s a cause that you passionately believe in, how can you put your energy in a positive direction rather than blaming somebody else.
I would hate for us to go down the path of many other countries where there is such animosity between people who vote for different parties that they become violent and closed to hearing alternate perspectives.
At the end of the day, people made the choice that suits their circumstance on the information that they understood. So maybe some of the parties could have been clearer in what they actually stood for. Maybe they could have used, some would say less dodgy, voting tactics. But it doesn’t matter.
What matters is what can you do now.
What positive steps can you take today, and every other day, to create the kind of world, the kind of country, the kind of future that you want there to be.

Global Politics seems to have lost its way. All over the world, many politicians seem to be acting in the interest of those who fund them or those who make the most noise.
Some have gone off on narrow minded, judgemental, unrealistic paths and tried to take as many people who will follow. Major parties seem to be more similar than ever.
Universally, it seems that respect of politicians is at an all time low.
As John Oliver said, "We used to listen to politicians and laugh at comedians. Now we laugh at politicians and listen to comedians."
So whose fault is it?
Well there are many people you could blame. The media, the politicians, big oil, big pharma, big (insert industry in here), but the reality is that it all comes down to us.
WE are responsible because we vote or choose not to.
This Saturday is Election Day in Australia. So rather than going along and ticking the same old box because that's what you always do, are you willing to be responsible?
Are you willing to google the different parties and find out a little about them? Some of them have pleasant names but weird policies, some weird names but great policies and some seem to have a single policy and that's it.
Maybe head to ABC's Vote Compass to get a feel for what party best matches your beliefs.
Cate Speaks has done an independent summary of all parties (to save you wading through all the muck) and it is a good reference.
RESPONSIBILITY means you have the ABILITY to RESPOND.
It is not something to be taken lightly.
Spiderman's Uncle Ben told him, "with great power comes great responsibility."
I believe the reverse is also true, "With great responsibility comes great power."
Time to stop blaming everyone/thing else and look at what can YOU do about it?
At the very least, make an informed choice this Saturday.
If you are in Melbourne, after you have voted you can then come and see my vocal quartet perform! Check out all the detail here. We even have Mulled Wine!
So Dear-Reader are you Willing to be Responsible?
