We are responsible for every decision we make. If you love to waste your time, it means your focus sucks and you will not attract prosperity. If you love to follow the voice of the majority without checking their values, you are like casting the darkest vote in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am referring to the vote of the majority when Pontius Pilate asked the crowd, \u201cWhom shall I set free?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crowd shouted, \u201cBarabbas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It led to the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why I call it the darkest vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It tells us that the vote of the majority is not always right. The majority can be wrong most of the time. We already had it many times in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people follow the prevailing spiritual power that controls the minds and attitudes of those who do not submit to God\u2019s principles (Ephesians 2:2), they become instruments of evil, making us more miserable and poorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why we should be careful about choosing our leaders. If we simply listen to the voice of the majority, regardless of the ethical blunders they ignore behind the leaders they support, we can kill our paradise maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can easily end up with a compromising leadership showing ostensible service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can stagger down to the Calvary of our making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choosing the right leader<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if we make the right choices by electing our leaders based on their values, competence and track record, we can celebrate our future wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What should we look for in a candidate? If you cannot answer this question, we can end up with vague premises leading to wrong decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should look for his or her platform. If we base it on our painpoints as a nation, the priority should deal with specific and workable plans about supporting small businesses because they comprise over 90 percent of the country\u2019s entrepreneurs. We should look at how a candidate can empower citizens by their platforms in attracting more big businessmen, how they can instill a better climate for businesses and create hubs that promote ingenuity. We should look at how he or she can fight against corruption through his specific strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a candidate cannot be specific enough about their strategies on how to attain their goals in relation to their platform, we doubt about his or her ingenuity and competence. He or she is like those who simply give noodles during tragedies (noodles are bad for your health). The wannabe even waits for tragedies in order to earn pogi points. The person runs out of ideas. He cannot think of ways to give us leverage other than going to communities during calamities. Does this mean the wannabe would be happy if calamities strike? You can ask him or her about the real score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About the values of leaders, we already have enough of past leaders who abused thousands according to the Amnesty International. Though the father did it, the son also takes part by covering them up. If their apologists talk about the golden years of his father\u2019s regime, this is a dubious claim. The World Bank reports (1964-1986) there is no golden age but merely artificial spikes in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) because of excessive and unnecessary foreign loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just one example. Be not duped about a wannabe\u2019s moral stature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We make our luck<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luck does not come to us if we make wrong choices. We decide who will be our leaders to make us luckier. We own our decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If companies like Facebook or Amazon choose CEOs who are not knowledgeable about their business or cut corners, they will suffer the fate of Enron or Worldcom\u2014companies noted for malpractices that led to their dissolution. Big corporations usually take all logical steps to choose leaders, even if the decision just benefits a few individuals owning the company. If these companies are very cautious about selecting their CEOs just for the prosperity of their owners, how much more should we be cautious because our decision determines whether we will be poorer or richer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chaotic or orderly? Flood-challenged or not? Your decision determines the fate of 120 million Filipinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you cast your vote, you decide whether to absolve Barabbas or Jesus. You already know the outcome if you favor the wicked over those who are more righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn (Proverbs 29:2, KJV).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let no one mislead you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHOICES reveal one\u2019s philosophy, according to Eleanor Roosevelt.
