Today is a new day

We are watching as the world descends into a panic of sorts over the economic crisis and how it affects almost everyone on a global scale. This is a given.

It is good to remember that the future know matter how you paint it in your mind: fantastic or horrible; never quite comes out the way you think it will. Therefore, I propose, let's start talking about topics that enhance, expand, create, and give a broader more positive perspective as to what businesses and individuals can do to gain control of some aspects of life.

The following is a slight twist on the reality portrayed in the media, take some of these unpleasant "life adjustments", NOT becoming powerless and creating a more positive life each day:

• Losing a job can be a blessing, it may be a second chance to do something you really want to do.
• If you do have a job consider the following: Prices tend to drop, the cost of living goes down, and most salaries usually stay the same.
• There’s less pressure to keep up with the Joneses, lifestyles of the rich and almost famous and to appreciate the simpler things in life.
• The housing market crash is a good thing for first-time buyers who now are looking at a more realistic mortgage payment.
• It is an opportunity to go back to school.
• Time for being with friends and family, placing values with people rather than amassing materials goods.

Stop blaming whomever and whatever is outside of yourself for the reason the world is in this situation. Re-claim your ability to control certain aspects of your life; remember...Whatever you resist tends to persist.

In our next post we'll cover how businesses may use this time to gain prosperity or at least keep your head above water!
