Yeah, so the world is crap, it's doing it's best to get at us, grind us down to nothing or at least something is trying to do it, point your finger in the direction of your choice.
But, what about the self, do you owe the world, or do you owe yourself ?
When was the last time you actually celebrated yourself, congratualated yourself on things you know you are good at, been content with yourself ?
The premise being happiness comes from within.
I recently learned from a friend something that helps, something to do over that morning coffee or first fag (smoke to all you over the pond) of the day, the act of reflecting on the self, the things you can do now, not want to do in the future, but what you know are good at now. Now I believe this has to be done for some three months for it to become habit, but in these difficult times, is it not a habit worth forming ?
But to be honest, the world as it is, has it ever been any different, if it was not the economy, it was always something else, a war, a threat, a famine, unemployment, the list is endless, perhaps with a touch of cynicism, issues that make work for the power hungry.
Something else I have learned, feeling down and discontent is easier than feeling up and content, perhaps it is we wallow in negativity, it has become second nature, because we forgot ourselves and listened to those with political ambitions.
In a world such as this, the same world it has ever been, foster the power of positive thought, celebrate the self and on a personal level it might very well change.
