We are awaiting the decisions of our legislators in respect to the country’s economy. There is great angst and controversy surrounding the best strategy for solving the situation. Each side has arguments with merit. Our future and stability rely on putting aside partisan politics combined with a rolling up of our collective sleeves to quickly find short and long term answers to our crisis.
It is important to try not to get discouraged when we find ourselves facing such overwhelming obstacles. It can be easy to feel stuck. Outside forces of life seem to be creating circumstances preventing us from solving our problems. It is easy to blame everyone and everything outside of ourselves. The first course of action is to look inside. Personal responsibility for our own financial dilemma must be taken into consideration. Choices that we have made as individuals can be corrected. Choices that our nation has made can be corrected as well. The second thing that we must do is to be decisive. It is amazing how often we can get in our own way without even being aware that we are doing so. We cannot afford to STAY stuck.
We are a great people with a sound system of government. It will not fail unless we lose confidence in our ability to persist and endure. We have important things to do. The biggest mistake we can make is to take no action.
