OMG, please stop the doom and gloom. I am a news junkie but there have been days I can't read the main section of the Wall Street Journal, or just glance at the front section of the Sunday New York Times, and then, (GASP) there are days I have to turn off NPR......I never thought that was possible. The news is so bad and so global, that it affects everyone. (or so it feels on any given day).
Let's think about some of the good news. I have a friend who found a job. Another friend who does daycare has an additional little boy joining her. Most people I know have their jobs and are managing ok. I am starting a small (very small) business. The world hasn't quite stopped yet.
And I do care about people who are having a hard time, but I worry that the focus on all that is bad in the economy, in the world, in our lives only makes things worse. I have become a believer that success and failure are both based on what we think (I worked in a sales organization for a long time and can attest to the influence of leadership). And that what we think will happen, is somehow what happens. So what do we do? Well for starters, we turn off the radio.
