I do plenty of radio interviews, mainly talk shows, from time to time – all about personal development and self improvement. Last week, I fired out a couple of emails to talk show hosts so that I could tell listeners about getting more out of life even during these difficult times. One guy got back to me by replying “come on, man, get real”. That’s all it said.
No, you get real! There are simply too many negative people with a bad attitude that’s fuelling the wildfire of economic turmoil and individual self-doubt. Herd-like minds got the economy into the mess it’s in (let’s all get greedy together) the herd mentality will keep it there (let’s all get needy together). You have to wake the hell up – because, if you don’t that’s where you are – in Hell, a hell of your own creation. And there is far too much of it going on at present.
If you happen to be one of those people who take some weird pleasure in moaning about how bad things are, for all our sakes, shut up! If, like somebody that I was speaking to recently, you’re too ashamed to tell your friends that you can still afford to take your winter ski holiday, you need to ask yourself “what’s that all about?” But, of course, if you’re really hurting because you can’t find work, stop feeling victimized. Rather than cowering down under the weight of mass hysteria, step out from the herd, open your eyes and you’ll discover that there are opportunities all around you, the only reason you can’t see them is that you have got bogged down by the negative illusion that is dragging you down. You’ve got to stop going along with everyone else that there are no opportunities, get up off your ass and get real – really!
And to my friend who told me that I should get real – get a life yourself and stop dragging everyone else down to your level! It’s time to stop this mass-madness – it’s time to start pulling ourselves together and start living life to the full.
