Ever hear the story of the frog who falls in a bowl of cream?  It pushes with its strong legs against the liquid to get out in vain… that is until it turns to butter and he can climb out.

Lately I wonder why the sad faces?  We should be more grateful, especially in these "uncertain times".  One thing that can help is to avoid reading newspapers and TV news.  After all, we have built a very comfortable society, where our most basic needs are met.

While reading the news, I wonder the negative role it plays.  Being desperate needing our readership to attract more advertisers who are also pulling back, the doom and gloom headlines multiply.  I don't see how it can help the situation.  We must move on.

When the party was kicking, many stocked up on material riches, but few took care to work on spiritual and mental wealth.  Now is a good time to do something about it and get a better handle on our thoughts and attitudes?

Ever wonder why we spend the first 5 years of our lives focused on physical discipline and not the same for our mental?  At first, we struggle to see, then talk, then walk, then grab objects, and finally we more or less master it all.  Why don't we do the same using our mental?

I feel now is the best time to invest in your self so that you will rebound even higher.  We all too often forget, and when times are good, we rarely take the time to work on ourselves.  Now is a good time to take care of yourself to prepare for an even better tomorrow.
