Look we all know the economy is bad.  We all know the cash flow is not flowing for most as it has in the past, but how you handle it is the issue.  We have all heard the old saying: Its not about the problem or issue you face but about the way you handle it!  This is very true.  Look its tough on everybody right now.  Dont take it personal!  Dont ignore the sitaution, dont bury your head in the sand, but do not drown yourself in negativity either!  What if no matter what you put your energy and mindset into positive items 2 to 1 versus negative things?  How easy would it be to congradulate yourself or pat yourself on the back for small wins? Dont wait for the homerun give yourself a "high five" for a base hit!  Smile at yourself just for swingnig the bat even if you strike out.  You will get another chance at the plate!

Be forever thankful for the good things whatever they are.  It could be just getting up in the morning, having a place to stay, or someone to talk with and share things with.  Are you healthy?  Are you ALIVE or LIVING?  There is a difference you know.

Business wise keep your eye on the target, watch your bottom line, be prepared to adjust and enjoy the journey.  Do what I am not good at.......enjoy your time no matter what!
