In today’s world it is natural for most people to have desire for personal independence in their lives, however many people never ever achieve it.

If we look around, not too much in the world has changed drastically from a year ago. The farms that grow our food still exist, law and order still exists, our families and friends still exist, the country we live in still exists. Not much has materially changed.

Personally you may have experienced losses – the loss of a job, loss of income/savings, or even loss of a home. It’s important to remember that you are still who you are, with the same strengths that you had last year, and you’re hopefully a year wiser for the living.

“ It is not what you have that makes you special as a person, it is who you become”

When times are lean, there is ample space for self-created opportunity to replace what might have gone away, and we often wind up in a better place for having had the more challenging periods. After the stock market crash of 1929, there was a greater period of growth in industry, innovation, and business than there had been at any time prior to that in this country.

So, there can be greatly encouraging news found in the sparest of times. Look in to yourself with deep and honest affection for your strengths, and you may find new riches in abundance just waiting to be dug up. Remember, you are in a place in your life today based on the choices that you made 5 years ago.  The next 5 years results are going to be from seeds that you plant today.

To Your Success,
