Yo Deepak, I totally agree.
I am self employed and I work alone so I am 100% responsible for how my business flows. As this 'recession' moved in I started doing more marketing and now have more commissions than ever. I learned that not everybody is in recession.

When the river is smooth and quiet we float along and relax but when the rapids come the fun begins. Some people paddle straight for them and some people choose to get out of the river. Taking on the rapids with a spirit of fun and adventure makes the smooth relaxing part of the river almost boring.

This seem to be a natural cycle. Work then rest. Chaos then order then back to chaos and so on. The prey escapes the jaws of it's predator, it's breathing heavy but safe. It learns a little more about survival which helps it the next time.

Crisis can be an our most respected teacher.

peace comes from peace

and utopia is not peace

Maybe they're just hidden under a bottle of the Zrii junk juice you sell.

Check out the Health Ranger's review "Zrii Juice and the Chopra Center - Does it Stand Up to the Hype?"

"With the launch of the Zrii juice product and its association with Deepak Chopra, many readers have been asking NaturalNews to offer our opinion on the product. Many people are excited about Zrii and the associated business opportunity, and the fact that it is endorsed by the Chopra Center lends it credibility in the natural health community. So to learn more about Zrii, I went to the website (www.Zrii.com) to find the nutrition facts on Zrii. That's where this review ran into a significant stumbling block: Zrii doesn't list its "nutrition facts" label on the website! (At least not that I could find as of this writing.)"

Oh and I don't think we need to get rid of fear, just embrace it as we would pain.

When I embrace the dark, fear becomes just another aspect of the beauty of the miracle of life.

Hi Jeremy
I have Zrii and Xango and Orange juice and other assorted juices in my fridge. They are all apart of a good diet. The only miracle of health is held in ones own belief in health. No product will bring heath to someone who believes they are unhealthy and no product is needed to bring health to a person who believes they are healthy.

just a opinion

Dear Deepak,
You sound like you are talking to rich people that have to cut back. Dr. Phil advice is nice.
But 6% unemploment means 6 million out of work. Hopefully they are receiving unemployment benefits and hopefully their state can afford them. Our Governor Paterson just said he wanted to cut health care, college tuition funding, and library donations. All the things I like. If I knew more about state agencies I think I'd give him a piece of my mind.
I can't say that happiness is living out of the car with three children and a wife.
It's not only one's own happiness at stake. It is your child that goes without breakfast and a hot supper.

Deepak, you sure are sticking your neck out!
In principle, I do agree, but 'we' are very much in the minor minority and will have more than our work cut out. I am afraid.... of ignorance, of reptilian brain and especially from crowded cities.
However, I do believe in miracles and the Third Jesus and am ready to be tested.......ike you, it seems!!

The reptilian brains can sit on the cold sidewalk and eat nettle soup while the government spends more money on the war machine.

Reptilials who? The Dwapara Yuga is us.

Personally, I think when we are in the mist of a recession, we need someone to help guide us, as we seek happiness and peace within, while the storm rages. Just maybe our new/re found calmness comforts the raging winds?

Reptilian brain, (not plural) I wrote, tout de suitey ;)......I mean that part of the brain which the fearful call on when all else of their understanding fails....(it feeds thru the mammalian as well. Those with war machines are cold-blooded mammalians!!!
Dwapara, I might guess, is thinly spread, but, of course, is fearless and might be contagious or superimposing...or some such word.

Nutting from me.

I often remind myself that all those "changes" economists talk about are changes
of the unimportant. The important is constant. The laws of nature, giving in receiving, that is
constant.

During a recession, the club of givers/receivers tends to get smaller, and hence the possibilities for the
volume of giving and receiving over time gets smaller. My way is that of paying atention
to the constants that man can´t affect(and live a life based on it), and not worry about the variables so many dread.
All the economy gives me is data which make review my short and long term goals.That´s
the only effect it has on me. But I will keep giving and receiving, no matter how small the club gets.

Dear Ed,
Step out of your warm milky mammalian mind and send me over to Lake George some Toys for Tots and coats and hats for children. The Post Office and Channel 13 are taking up a collection.
We don't have fera. We have frigid cheer!

Where's my spellcheck. This is Microsoft Vista, isn't it? Darn!

I agree. Simplify. Do you really need a Maserati to drive 5 miles to your job at 35mph?

Some simple analog advice from my late mother (pre-digital age):

Don't bite off more than you can chew.

Meaning: if you can't afford a half-million dollar home, don't buy it!

I don't think it takes a master's in economics to figure that out.

# 11 Can I send you some children?

Do you have Salvation Army?
