"One of the greatest tragedies of scarcity thinking is that in depressed economic times, people are taught to be fearful when in fact it is during such times that the opportunity for abundance often lies in their willingness to be courageous." - Kevin Nixon
I have lived through two recessions/depressions. The recession of 2009 will be my third. Each time before as now, people became filled with despair, thinking that they are financially doomed. People worried then as now about being able to pay their mortgage, being able to buy groceries, so on and so on.
In depressed economic times, most people shut off. However, there are those few that rather than shrinking they choose instead to expand, to expand in their intelligence, to expand in their creativity. They dare to take risks and a great many of them become financially well off during what appears to be times of scarcity.
Those that would see you miss an opportunity will seek to instill in you a sense of fear. They would have you become as statues, standing still in a time in which you should be moving. They would have you wait for things to blow over so that you can return to the very same life you complained about in times of economic prosperity.
Everything happens in cycles. Cycles by their very nature usher in an end as well as a new beginning. It is while in the midst of the end cycle that we should be expanding, setting the foundation to reap the rewards of the new cycle is coming. This end cycle is a time for self-education, risk taking, a time to discover your innate talents. This is the time to be Creativity!!!! It is the time to sow the seeds for the coming harvest.
We want guarantees. But life is not about guarantees. If you are looking for guarantees then you are likely not living. If you reach for a thing, you may obtain it or you may not obtain it.But life and living is in the reaching not the obtaining.
