Is this hard times or opportunity times?

I know plenty of people are being challenged in all aspects of life in this time of “scarcity”. I know I am! All the papers, magazines, news broadcasts on radio and TV are all continuously telling us about how bad things are!

Every where we look we are reminded how bad things are. We hear about GM filing bankruptcy, Chrysler being sold to Fiat, AIG having problems again and it goes on and on! We all know someone who has lost a job or is worried about losing it, people who have lost retirement savings in the market and again it goes on and on.

So why am I talking about what we already know to ad nauseam? Because we can be led by the media into self sabotage. What do I mean you ask? How do we feel after we hear about the major problems in our economy and how record number of people are being foreclosed on, filing bankruptcy, etc. We file like crap! Why? Because we are being inundated with negatives that drag us down. Then we start buying into it and the cycle perpetuates.

Yet, there are people succeeding and doing well in this economy! But how can that be? Could it be that they are just lucky? In the right place at the right time? It just fell in their laps? Or could it be that in this time of the “sky is falling” they saw and grabbed onto opportunities that still exist? Could it be that they did not buy into the news but instead looked for these opportunities and created their own reality?

Is this not an opportunity to erase all the selfishness and greed that has brought us to this place by replacing it with a desire to contribute and help each other? Does a tidal wave not start as a small wave that builds to large proportions? Does it not feed on the momentum of all the smaller waves? Hasn’t change occurred because of a small group of people initiated it?

So let’s start that movement to the place of unity instead of separation. Let’s work together to help each other get back on our feet and to right this country! Let’s no longer allow the greedy and self centered few to destroy our lives and the lives of the people we care about!

What would happen if we stopped listening to the media and started creating our own realities. What would happen if we started helping each other? What would happen if we decided that this is an opportunity to walk the path we where destined to?

Let’s move toward action and success. Let’s watch the changes occur as we create rather then destroy! Let’s create our own reality that helps us and others at the same time! Let’s learn from others mistakes and make great choices versus self centered, greed choices. Let’s create the reality we wish. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Have a great day and go create!
