Teutonic shifts are happening right now in the financial markets of the world. Whole industries are being challenged for their very existence in the United States. Some would say that the US Treasury is being looted.
My questions are, how does this affect you? Are you waiting for the next shoe to drop hoping that you will be spared any discomfort from the fallout? Has the prevailing atmosphere generated fear in you?
The next question: do your answers to those questions serve you? Have you developed an attitude that is above that? Have you developed a mindset that causes you to move forward without fail regardless of those things around you? In a time of bigger economic crisis our great President: Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, “we have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Those words are truer now than they were then. His statement is a timeless truth that held a nation together and no doubt was the turning point in those days. Let that truth be your turning point now – resolve to put fear aside – resolve to change fear for a vision of your future, then read on.

“In times of change learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to work in a world that no longer exists.” –Eric Hoffer
Wow, what could be more succinct, what could be more applicable than right now. Life is a constantly changing game. It’s another way of saying that it is all right there between your ears. What are you learning and how will it move you forward? And – can you believe it will move you forward? Can you learn to make the vision that will let you see to the other side of whatever you think it is in front of you?
Learn what’s in “The Science Of Getting Rich:” download it free right here on this page from the resource box in the upper right. Listen to it over and over and let it help you see the vision of your future and look toward that. Look ahead – not at what is around you or behind you – look ahead! The do the things to move yourself into that vision.
There is a great Bible story in the book of Genesis, the Angel of God was leading Lot and his family from the city of Sodom to safety because Sodom was being destroyed. Lot’s wife looked back and she remained frozen and turned into a pillar of salt. Don’t look back at what is happening now, look forward to the great things that are in front of you. A compelling future will give you the will to move forward into it. That is you out there smiling back and beckoning you forward. Do you see it?
Look ahead, see more, see the things that are there, get excited, be grateful, move forward -> always move forward, always look forward.
As usual the poet says it best:
“Waste no tears
Upon the blotted record of lost years,
But turn the leaf, and smile, oh smile, to see
The fair white pages that remain for thee.
“Prate not of thy repentance. But believe
The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow.
That which the upreaching spirit can achieve
The grand and all creative forces know;
They will assist and strengthen as the light
Lifts up the acorn to the oak-tree’s height.
Thou hast but to resolve, and lo! God’s whole
Great universe shall fortify thy soul.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
