I have Chosen NOT to participate in the Recession? What about you?
My mentor recently said this to me, “If there’s a recession, I have chosen not to participate.” I totally agree.
Now, you may be thinking “Are you crazy, JoAnn? I am losing money, I fear losing my job, and I am having trouble making ends meet – of course there is a recession. How can you ignore that?”
My answer may come as a surprise but here is a quote from Johnny Carson-
“Never continue in a job you don’t enjoy. If you are happy in what you are doing, you’ll like yourself, you’ll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could have possibly imagined.”
It all comes down to living the life YOU choose. I believe we have all been created with a purpose. If you think about your passions and realize your true purpose you may realize that there is something bigger for you. Put your trust in God, Spirit, the Universe (whatever you believe in) and your life Will be fulfilled. I will go into more detail in future posts.
For now, stop watching the news. Remember that the media is a business. Their job is to sell you on their views, to make you so uncomfortable that you will want to keep watching their channel which in turn increases their ratings. When listening to or watching a program that is making you depressed or anxious, ask yourself this, “How is this serving me? If your answer is negative, turn it off, listen to something motivational, listen to your favorite music, just get away from that which brings your down and this will bring a greater sense of peace.
