Altering The Recession Mindset
This morning I checked and as far as I could detect there was no massive disaster that wiped out 20% of the worlds population. This means that there are still six billion people (plus) who need food, clothing, shoes, bed linen, homes and all the trappings that life requires. So we lost billions in the crazy stock market well they are gone and alas crying will not bring them back. We could victimise a few people but that will not bring the money back either but will result in our imprisonment; thus not worth it.
So what do we do? We reinvent ourselves just like we have been doing for centuries and this time is no different. Human beings are resourceful and we shall conquer and overcome all adversity because we have to; we need to. So come on now desist with the long faces of misery because THANKSGIVING CHRISTMAS and the NEW YEAR are around the corner and we all love the merriment of the holidays. ‘A Happy Future To You and To All of Us! Amen!’
Calling all media outlets: hear ye, hear ye ‘great news is calling so how about changing your appetite and digesting all the good news that pops up all around the world for the next few weeks.’ Please do not print anything on the front pages besides good news. CNN are highlighting heroes around the world and if these heroes are a testament to positive mentalities then let us hear more.
The industrial age spelled doom for the cottage industries all over the world and small farms received a hammering but what did people do; they adjusted. Life is a circle and as it rotates so do opportunities and if something becomes unsuccessful or unfashionable in one area well it may work somewhere else. Perceived recessions are opportunities to realign with the prosperity consciousness of our universe and remind us we need to pay more attention to saving versus spending.
Right now 15 – 20% of world populations are below the poverty line which spells opportunity for industries willing to relocate. If industries relocate then they will need skilled labour to follow it in order to train the new employees. America, Canada and Australia were the magical centres of attraction for many decades and perhaps the tide is flowing towards another area. When you move you may earn less money but it should cost less to live in your new surrounds and if Governments gave tax incentives to relieve the expense of moving it would not be so bad now would it.
Our ancestors have moved for thousands of years and this is not going to change just because we think it should. Frankly and personally speaking extended families are not exactly complimentary for change; thus why be attached if it restrains progress; besides change is good; really good. If we have learned anything from the recent elections in the US it is that people do not embrace change like their leader President Barack Obama may desire them to.
Change is not easy for many because it means stepping out from comfort zones and that is like pulling teeth from a rock. Our universe is all about change and that is something we have to accept and move along with it otherwise we get left in the dust while industry shifts and is snapped up by those willing to embrace change.
Let this quote from the book of Sirach guide you as you contemplate change: ‘Thanks be to God, all turns out well and everything is held together by his word.’ Sirach 43:26
Useful tip: grab hold of an atlas and take a peek at the expansiveness of each continent and ask where would you like to move. Now language is a consideration but let it not detract your attention because we all have the capacity to learn a new language as long as we choose good teachers to guide us. See there is another source of employment; language tutors! Now instead of moving think of something else you could do but have delayed implementing because life was getting in the way. Well now life has offered you the opportunity and time to think! Recession; we are alive ain’t we now come on let the sun shine in and smile; that’s right just keep smiling! We all have brains and feet (metaphorically speaking) therefore we may move wherever we choose because we are the masters of our fate which means being in charge not allowing others authority because it suits us to do so.
