Keeping Our Cool When Its Raining Cats and Chaos

The best way to fight fear is have a good plan in place.

There is no one who isn’t worried about something these days. China, India, and Brazil are emerging solidly while the westernized countries are suffering and they are worried about inflation.

The Westernized countries and citizens are focused on income. In our future the road could diverge to recovery or recession. We could see inflation in commodities and deflation of assets. Currencies could be the rogue wave that upset every apple cart.

A solid top to bottom plan that is improved everyday (kaizen) keeps our mind focused on progress not on regression.  A top to bottom plan includes our health, our family, our community, our income, and our assets.

We have approximately 80,000 days on earth and we want to make each one meaningful. It becomes more significant when the remaining days are fewer. Life is precious and we want to have experienced everything the earth has to offer.

Outside our occupations, there is a life force that propels us forward. The earth is continuously changing as it provides and takes away. Our lives are continuously interwoven as we build and maintain relationships. Our bodies have their own dynamics that are dependent on our care.

Our minds can grow and flourish up until the day we die. The plasticity of our brains allows new patterns to evolve as long as we are willing to provide new learning. In the end it really doesn’t matter what we accomplished in the material world. We will judge our lives by how much we enjoyed our own existence.

If we rise above the daily turmoil of hunting and gathering we will see our emotional reactions to everything that happens to us. Having a perspective that we need to improve in all areas and that each day is our pallet will give us something to look forward to even though life is full of obstacles we often have to dodge.

Looking for the emotionally satisfying experiences should guide our path through worry about the obstacles.
