The Downward Spiral

I have to say, I am getting rather tired of hearing how bad things are and that they are going to get worse. Why is it people like to focus on what is wrong rather than what is right? Why can't we, as human beings, simply decide to focus on all the good things that are going on? Actually, we can. We just have to choose to think this way. I, for one, have made it my Intention this year to focus on the positive. I normally try to do this anyway, but now more then ever, I think it is imperative to shield myself from this downward spiral the media is focusing on. Yes, I know the economy is not quite what we would like it to be. Yes, I know the automotive industry is hanging on by its fingernails and yes, I know the housing industry is not the best it has ever been. I recognize and acknowledge these situations and choose to focus on the good in all of it. The down turn in the economy gives us all a chance to support each other however we can. The automotive industry has to take a good hard look at how they have been doing business and start taking responsibility for some bad decisions they have made. The housing industry means some of us simply have to stay put a little longer and those in trouble may need some help from friends and family. We also have to start making the lenders and brokers who were greedy start assisting the people they gave those loans to. I for one plan on having a wonderful, successful, prosperous year. The media doesn't get to decide what type of year I am going to have, I get to decide.
