Hey kids, are we having fun yet? The economy is in the tank. The leaders of the country are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to first save the banks and then get them to trust each other to pay back any money they lend one another. I didn't even know banks loaned money to each other. If nothing else, we're all learning something about economics through trial and error.
In uncertain times, what provides us with some sense of safety and security? It's not our 401k. It's not the leadership of the country. Our presidents approval rating is 23% and believe it or not, congress is lower.
It's not....
So where is our safety and security? I think it's in our relationships and our values. What do you value most? Focus your energy and attention on that question. What comes up for you? Isn't it true that what you most value are your family and friends? And as the holidays approach, how can you get the best return on your investment, in a way that reflects your highest, most cherished values?
Stop now. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. Go directly to your phone and reach out to those folks in your circle of support. Tell them how much you value them. Let them know that whatever else happens, you're life is enriched because they are present in your life. They are a present, a gift you treasure.
