Appearance is just that
Appearance is just that. Appearance. Here is the Encarta Dictionary definition: an
outward aspect of somebody or something that creates a particular impression.
The particular impression pervading our media currently is fear, panic, uncertainty,
anxietywell, you get the idea. I don’t have to go on. I do want to challenge that
notion, however.
I pay attention to the news, but that doesn't mean that I take it to heart. And that
is my message today. It is our choice whether or not to buy in to the story out there.
Since my financial career began in 1982, we have been through several major
upheavals and each time it feels like the worst time; it appears to be unprecedented,
and there are always those who cry “the sky is falling”.
Remember however, that this is a natural cycle. The expansion and recession of
the economy is like a huge animal taking deep, long breaths. The bigger we grow,
and the more technology we have, the more rapidly changes are expressed in our
economy. It always reaches a point of excess and bounds back in the other direction.
It really doesn't matter why we got here; all that matters is what your perception of it
is. I want to share with you some truths you can believe.
Our free market system is efficient. It readily absorbs all good and bad news and
carries on. We go through periods of consolidation of businesses that made bad
decisions, and expansion of those that got it right. The economy goes through this
expansion and recession also; it is its nature. In the short-term the markets move on
emotion, in the long-term the markets move on the success of the free market system.
Our form of government was based on the premise that the free market system
(of which supply and demand is an important component) is the most egalitarian
economy possible. Back in 1776 a Scottish philosopher and economist, Adam Smith,
wrote this sentiment in his book, The Wealth of Nations. He proposed what was a
scandalous notion for the times; that society itself is able to price goods and services
appropriately, and that when a populous is given the freedom to do this, the ensuing
prosperity will be realized by the greatest percentage of the population. You can
imagine how the monarchs of the times detested his views. They believed that the
masses were inept, and needed a central ruling body to tell them what goods and
services were worth. Thankfully, our founding fathers understood the amazing
potential of a free market system, and you can find Smith's influence in our
Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. These documents resonate with a
high level of consciousness. The ideals of our founding fathers are spiritual values,
and we can see a deeper truth: there are no divisions between spirit and government.
Just like some have the perception that prosperity is separate and unattainable and
apart from spiritual values, some have the perception that government is “out there”
and disconnected from us and our spirituality.
Let us not see the government as a parental power to be dependent upon; let us
see our government as a vessel holding our highest ideals. Our government isn't any
one person. It is us collectively. By bringing ourselves into our own power we raise
our whole country. We can move from the fear that is overcoming so many and tap
into unlimited abundance that is always available to us all.
We are on the leading edge. As we go out into our workplaces, our world, with
our friends and family, we can be an example of these truths. We hold the key to our
own perceptions. I heard recently that Jack Canfield (author of Chicken Soup for the
Soul), when asked what he thought about the recession, stated that he wasn't
participating. You don’t have to participate.
Meditate, eat well, laugh, share, love, journal, and look inward for your
answers.
I am preparing for great things. We have much to look forward to right around the
corner. You are destined for amazing things.
