Do We Have Mental Toughness?

  Today's election day......just wondering how the voting public will approach the many issues facing them and will voters possess the mental toughness to make decisions that could effect all of us for many years to come.
  Athletes more than the ordinary citizen are more apt to use the term "mental toughness"  and that this term comes into play when a game is on the line and one can stay calm and focused when all of the pressure is on.
  Voters going to the poss today hopefully are able to focus on the task at hand and ignore everything else that is going on around them.
  Citizens who take voting as a serious issue will not have to worry as athleties do about fans cheering, dugout chatter, hollering and the intimidation forced on the batter at the plate.
  The voting public hopefully knows what the issues in any election are and that they should not be detracted by false promises but focus on what the is needed in today's fast moving world.
  Nothing else matters but the task at hand.
  Mentally tough voters are strong and their will to succeed is so high they will do whatever it takes to win their issues.
  Let's hope mentally tough voters go to the polls today.
