This afternoon I was at the hair salon getting my monthly color touch-up (gotta keep up with those roots, ladies!), and next to me a stylist's client was loudly hemming and hawing about how "bad" things are getting with the economy.
And honestly I'm rolling my eyes while I'm quietly working on my computer, because here is a well-dressed woman dropping over $200 on her hair color and who valet parked her Mercedes out front.
"Bad" -- for most of this country -- means you have one less flat-screen TV, rent instead of own, and can't afford to buy your groceries at Whole Foods.
Now, let's put this into perspective folks... "Bad" in some other countries means you could be living every day in fear of dying through starvation, or being tortured or murdered. THAT is bad. WE don't have it bad.
Hello! Let's WAKE UP people...
Please, stop listening to American "news", whose job it is to make you feel like everything is going to hell in a hand basket. TV news is not a "public service". It's a business. Fear attracts ratings, and ratings sell ads. If they told you "all is well" you wouldn't have to watch anymore.
Listen closely... The only person/thing that determines the results in your life right now, as always, is YOU.
OUR world is still full of abundance, hope, and opportunities. And we live in the best country on earth for all of those. Circumstances may shift, as they always do. Tides rise and fall, and trends come and go. It's cyclical. Such is nature, and such is life. Self-corrections are made.Love and Success,
Ali Brown
