Frozen in Fear?

This blog started out as a step by step process.  To get the best benefit, go back to the February 2011 posts and start with "Set Yourself Free".  So very glad you stopped by.



You can watch the national news and get yourself worked up into a tizzy about the economy.  It's bad, it's real bad and guess what, it's going to get worse... for a lot of people who insist on keeping a box on their head.   People keep doing the same things over and over again, expecting to get a different result.  Statistics are showing that some 3 out of 4 college graduates are not finding a job in their field of study, many are moving back home because they can't even find any job that can sustain them enough to live out on their own.  Now these college graduates have thousands of dollars in student loans and no job to pay for it.  Turn on the TV and every10 minutes there is a commercial about going to school to learn a new skill.  For what?  A job that is non-existant.  Wow, how logical is that?  Whose really making the money here?  The schools of course.  Going to school is like playing the lottery anymore but people still think, that only happens to everyone else, but that won't happen to me.   Think about this.  In EVERY economy, there are people making fortunes and people losing fortunes.  The ones that are losing have a box on their head.  Make your list with people who are making a list.  Look at what you want, look at what they want, start up discussion, opportunities are everywhere.  Most of the riches people in American history came out of the Great Depression.  Make an effort to do this and I guarantee you will start thinking outside of the boxes that are holding you in a stagnant state of fear.  Your focus will change from the things that you have no control over to things that make a difference, things like raising great kids, giving generously to charities that desperately need help, getting financial troubles under control and so much more.
Who do you think is going to come out better, the person who is reactive to situations they just chose to ignore or the person who is proactive because the writing is on the wall and they are preparing for the difficulties that will without doubt be knocking at the door?  The Lord says put your trust in him, worry is a waste of time.  Making your list is such a great way to get this positive energy into motion.
