Green Shoots in Our Economy

Bernanke needs a new pair of glasses! Unfortunately I am afraid that the green shoots that he is seeing are weeds, and yes at least something is growing…  we would not want to see another great American dust bowl!  Yes, it is great that our economy did not totally collapsed, and that our ground is being held together by something, and yes we should be celebrating that!  But we also need to be planting our own seeds!  Seeds that will help us, our families, our communities, and our world become a better place!

 

When we think things are going well we tend to go along our merry way, functioning without much thought, along with the rest of the status quo.  I am here to remind everyone that this is our opportunity for change!  To start again with thought, and a new awareness!

 

No matter where you are in life.  Do things differently… think of the greater good!  Deep down you know what the right choices are… you may think that they are harder, but in the end the crop you reap will be so much better than you can imagine!  But do something!  Don’t just sit there!  Bernanke needs our help!  So get up, get out, and start working that soil, start sowing the seeds for the life that you want! 

 

…and then next spring when Bernanke puts on his new glasses, he will again see green shoots, but this time instead of weeds the shoots will be those of flowers, or of volunteerism, or of a new business that you always wanted to start!

 

Just a thought!

Trust yourself! Believe yourself! Love yourself!

We live in a world plaguing us with doubts and naysayer’s.  If we listen to them, and believe them, then they are right.  If we do not take the chance, or believe in ourselves, we will never have the life that we want to live. 

 

Remember if you want something different you need to do something different!

What came first the chicken or the egg? Our Economy, Happiness, Love, Health!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result, and the thought of what came first, the chicken or the egg… this circular pattern, could quite possibly drive you insane!

 

In our economy we could say that the fear of a recession could cause people to spend less, which would reduce demand, which causes a recession. 

 

In our pursuit of happiness we could say that if I only had this or that I would be happy, but since I do not have this or that, I am not happy.

 

In our quest for loving relationships we may tend to date the same type of person, make the same mistakes, and have the same result.

 

In health we all know people who sit and complain all the time about how unhealthy and overweight they are, all the while they are still sitting and complaining and not doing anything towards getting healthier.

 

I am sure these are all things that you have heard or thought of before, and breaking these cycles is easier said than done.  My thought here is this… what if we all came from the place or thought process that we already have everything that we need.   That the chicken and the egg just existed at the same time.  That we can be happy without those things, and we can be healthier right now!  We do not have to get it, we just have to be it! Be happier, be healthier, be loving right now! In every moment and in every choice, or conversation, or thought!

 

 

Just a thought!
