As the global economy shrinks...

This year will mark to be a momentous year for the global economy. Officially, we are now on global recession. Next year, we will all feel the heat for this fall-out. I receive an important email from a friend involved in online marketing which outlines some basic thought as far as the whole economy is concerned. Here it goes: "We need to realize that the economy is not some abstract entity separate from us. The economy is us. YOU and I are the economy. Our thoughts, behaviors, actions and mood collectively create the economy. Government can try to manipulate our actions through tax plans, regulations, incentives, etc. but in a nutshell WE are the economy. Our collective mood, productivity, innovation, positive energy and execution determines whether the economy is thriving or in a recession. Paying our mortgage helps the economy. Working hard helps the economy. Starting a business helps the economy. Making a product the world needs helps the economy. Replacing our psychology of fear with a psychology of trust helps the economy. And it helps you! And it helps everyone!" Hope we could learn something on this very basic tenet of wisdom.
