A Refreshing Perspective in these Crazy Times
WE CAN THRIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES!
The stock market takes a huge dive…
The war continues endlessly…
The housing crisis is crippling…
The unemployment rate is peaking…
Just read the front page of the newspaper or watch any news channel…doom and gloom, with no end in sight.
While there is so much to worry about and so much that is wrong with the world, there are many more things to be happy about and grateful for.
You are breathing, alive!
You have loved ones who love you!
You have food to eat and water to drink!
You are an artist and you create art!
You have dreams and the capacity and talent to achieve them!
Hundreds of millions of people around the globe would kill to be where you are now. Remember, the worst circumstances here are a blessing compared to the best circumstances for someone somewhere else.
Stay on your path and maintain a balanced perspective. Every change in our external environment requires an equal and opposite change from inside us. You might have to work a bit harder and be more creative to achieve your goals but they are still well within your reach.
What the news won’t tell you is that we humans are resilient, amazing creatures. Challenging times are just that, a challenge, and you and only you are the master of your destiny.
Don’t let them, or anyone, extinguish your flame.
The following headline needs to be the opening phrase of every newscast and published in every newspaper around the country, everyday:
WE CAN THRIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES!
Cheers to that!
And don’t forget to smile
