Tough times?

The economy is slowing. All you hear are the cries and moaning that things aren't good, and aren't going to get better anytime soon.

The first thing you should ask yourself is: "What is a Tough Time?" The answer is that's it's a perception. What you see is what you get....

If the economy is bad, we say it's a recession. If we lose our job, it's a depression. Everything is relative yet someone, somewhere is always worse off.

If we're going through Tough Times. I'm not making light of it. But realize that a Tough Time is 'As we see it'. What we feel is real. Welcome to reality.

Self-fulfillment in the best of times, but in bad times it's even more important to do a reality check. Don't only tell yourself 'Things could always be worse', but try to maintain a positive attitude.

In Tough Times it's of crucial importance to have a positive vision of what will happen later. It's important in good times, too, but when the going gets rough it's imperative to look beyond the immediate mess. Remember, Tough Times won't last. Things always change. Those who most successfully rise above their current difficulties are those who can see things positively, even in a negative time.

Talk nicely to yourself. Talk positively about the things you accomplish and will accomplish in the company and in your life. Don't bitch and complain about Tough Times. Tell yourself and others to enjoy what they have now....it could be worse. The economy might go down, but it's not exactly.....!

Life isn't fair! That's life!

Be Positive folks!
