Want Control ? Invest in Yourself.

So many of us have always tried to "do the right thing". We followed the path of expectation believing that the blueprint was solid. We happily bought into this great American dream. Many of us achieved it but once we did experienced a hollowness. We countered this by expanding our individual empire. More "stuff" from Target, Walmart, The Mall, a newer car, a bigger house. We were allowed to be conditioned that "investing", spending and acquiring would fulfill us and give us a sense of control over our lives. Did it?

For most it did not! For most that empty feeling inside was correct. The financial collapse is evidence of that. All the control we were led to believe we had suddenly disappeared. Don't feel bad because you didn't have it in the first place. We were all lied to. We are all still being lied to. They want us to believe that the country doesn't have a future without us spending more than we make. Unless we borrow and leverage we are not being good Americans. Do you still believe that?

Where in this recovery plan is there any mention that investing in ourselves is at least part of the solution. Investing in ourselves? Yes our mind, our body, our spirit. Why do "they" not think it would benefit our world if we all started to take better care of ourselves ?

The better we take care of ourselves individually the more independence we gain. The more independence we gain the less we need them. Them? The corporations, the government, them!!

Start investing in yourself today and it will open up a whole new world to you. Make a change. Get smarter. Get healthier. Get closer to your God. Do something other than thinking is it now o.k. to start spending more? Get that thought out of your head because if you don't we will be in the exact same place we are now. Life is about inner growth and progress.
