Bob!
There are few words which can describe my love and respect for my Grandmother other than to say she represented everything that i considered special and good in life.

Most importantly she never judged me and always supported me.

Either support our leaders or use the occasion to change them!
The problem with having the power to make appointments and decisions which affect society is when you decide, as a leader, not to play it safe, do not think like the rest of society or are insensitive to their concerns and the appointments prove to be inappropriate!

You allow judgment into your life every time you judge others. To prevent this negativity coming to yourself, it’s best to stop dwelling on others’ darkness. Instead, pay attention to their strengths and appreciate your own vulnerability.
It will help if you look at the positivity of others whilst appreciating your own fallibility. This way you will invite major blessings into your life.
