Bubble Burst

Ok, so the economy is in the tank and everyone is pointing fingers at everyone else. At this point who the hell cares whose fault it is. Can you imagine...(no I won't break out into song with Yoko on this one..) but can you imagine 300 million Americans holding themselves accountable for their actions? Whoa! That would be cool!

(AINT GONNA HAPPEN!) Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. But even if a small group, say a couple of hundred thousand were able to get just pissed off enough to see that they are responsible for the happiness or misery in their lives, the world would be that much better.

Too many litigious people running around expecting the world to be given to them...well, it just doesn't happen like that. And if you know anything about the economy, you will know that it is going to get worse before it gets better, so you better get a plan if you aren't on one already.

Yup, we all need to suck it up a little bit more than we probably ever had to in the past. You may even want to get rid of those credit cards and start living below your means so that you can actually retire someday.

In the mean time, don't forget that part of your success is the amount of gratitude that you have in your life. Are you grateful to be in the job you are in? In the industry that you are in? In the country in which you live? If not, then make a change...This is the new millennium, we all have choices...that's it for the moment.

Suck it up, Buttercup!
