It's Raining, Its's Cold...smile....

Another winters day in Cape Town.

Pouring with rain and freezing cold outside. The sky is grey and full of cloud. It's miserable.

That's the negative outlook. And its something we are all experts at seeing. As was on the brouch that Pollyanna wore in Disney's "Polly Anna" "search for the bad in mankind and you are sure to find it". It's true. We can all find the negative in us.



Can you find the positive?

Take today. If you were sat where I am now what positives are there?

• Rain - it's water that we need!
• Cold - so what its lovely weather to be snuggled up with a good book by the fire!
• Grey Skies - outside it's grey skies but I mus thank the Lord for the awesome other days we have that aren't so grey - appreciate them more!
• I have a roof over my head!
• I have a hot cup of coffee next to me!

It's quite simple to find the positives. Just try.

So, I am ignoring all the experts. So what if there is a recession looming. The 1930's were the lowest times in many decades and guess what, it spawned more successful millionaires that still exisit today than in any other period. Those millionaires were the ones who saw the positive and did not let the hard times hinder them.

Over the next few weeks this Blog will show you ways and discuss ways to beat the hard times. Things that will allow you to focus on the good stuff and not worry about the mounting debt many of us find us with.

With help from you that read this I'll get recommendations, if your company has ways to help in tough times let me know and and I'll give you a soapbox and spread the word!

So come on...smile. No matter what the weather no matter what challenges you have. Smile!
