You hear it every day. The Dow, the New York Stock Exchange, car sales news, how bad it is. There is only one problem with all of that news: believing it. But I have to be in touch with reality, you say? I suggest you create your own reality--a reality the way you want it. How can you do that, you ask? I can only tell you what I do. It isn't for the faint of heart, but it works for me. Perhaps it could work for you. Here it is:
Several years ago, I stopped reading the newspaper. I stopped watching the 10 o'clock news, the 11 o'clock news and all the other news channels like CNN, Fox, etc. I found a number of very interesting things happened. I didn't miss it. It didn't affect me anyway. I became more positive about everything. I became more of a solution person instead of a problem person. That one decision was a huge benefit to me. The more a problem is discuussed, the more of a problem it becomes.
Next, I started reading again. I started buying books about great people, about business success, about uplifting topics. I started buying motivational tapes, CD's and audiobooks. And, as a result of this, I got my dreams back. Those were the ones I let go of to complain about the way things were and how bad things had become. I gotta say that I just crave being motivated! It feels so good.
Now my daily hunt has become a habit. I find all kinds of positive things to get thrilled about. Here's a couple I just ran across from watching a documentary a week ago. This website will fire me up for a long time to come. Here are three great links of short talks that should open your heart and mind up:
I know one thing for sure. Talking about how bad things are will only make things worse. Giving energy to the problem will give more problem. Now is a great time if you think it is. I know a number of people in the auto business that are having the best months in their history. I know others who are not. The main difference is not the economy.
