Keeping Your Vision Strong During a Recession

By Shannon Graham

The Economy might be down but that does not mean you have to be. Just because things are tough does not mean you have to kiss the good life goodbye. You have goals and dreams that at this time may seem impossible to reach. However, you can still have great success if you keep this one fundamental principal in mind.
Vision
Everything you see in life is merely the outwardly manifested version of a person's vision. Even the things in your own life that you currently have, material and non. They are a reflection of a vision you had at one time. Your greatest achievements were at one time only images in your mind. This is important to remember, because what that means is anything your mind can conceive and truly believe it can ultimately achieve.
First of all it is important to remember that thoughts are things, and adds you think so you become. With that in mind as difficult as it may be, worrying and stressing about the current state of things will get you absolutely nowhere. And if we can learn anything from the previous statement, then we know that worrying does much more than nothing in fact it becomes detrimental. So first and foremost rather than focusing on what you do not want or what you are not happy with. I want to personally challenge you to start thinking about what you do want and what you are happy with.
Now you might be saying Shannon you're crazy. How could I possibly focus on what I do want and what I am currently happy with what I've either just lost my job, my house, or both. Well I'm here to tell you that I may be crazy, but I'm definitely not wrong. At any given time no matter what the circumstance you can have power and you can have peace. It all depends on your focus and your vision.
When bad things happen we tend to focus on the bad. And not only that but we also lose sight of our long-term goals imagine what would have happened if in the middle of your struggle towards one of your greatest accomplishments you lost sight of what you are fighting for. Do you believe that you would have come out the other end of the victorious? I highly doubt it.
See it is your belief that keeps you going; it is your faith in the invisible that allows you to accomplish the impossible. The power that you have inside you is much greater than any challenge you will ever have outside of you. But you must take charge and tap into this power, it is yours for the taking but you must command it. I truly believe and your vision ultimately comes down to how far you can see with your eyes closed.
To be sure, the tools necessary to shape your destiny are invisible. They are your focus, they are your determination, and in your vision. While you cannot physically see these tools do not underestimate their unlimited power. You have proof of what they can do, you have used them before. And now in these most trying times when the very fiber of your character is being tested is when you must rise up. All of the answers and solutions you are looking for are staring at you in the mirror. Take action now, believe me there is no time to wait. Do not wait for the government to help you, do not wait for your friends and family to help you, the greatest help you will ever receive will come from the very hand that you extend to yourself.
It is said that you will never know how much bigger, stronger, and better you are until you absolutely have to. There is nothing like necessity to show a person what they are truly made of. I believe that human nature that when the odds are stacked against us that is when we come through. When it seems like the end is near that is when we reach down into the deepest pits of
what we truly are and bring forth that it is necessary to achieve.
Take advantage of the power that I know you have. Choose to keep your vision strong, make a decision to say yes to the potential that is hiding within you. View these tough times and not as the end but rather the beginning. Think not of the current issues you have as problems, but rather challenges. Allow this to be a time to exercise and build up your mental fitness. Do this my friend and as you sleep at night and as you walk during the day, your mind will ring with the timeless creed that constantly and never ending moves forward and says..... we can win.
