Economic downturn

Be grateful for what you have
Happy for what you get and
Generous on what you give

TWIST Comment: The whole world is talking about a downturn in the global economy. Nobody is sure of the effects it's going to leave us with or for how long it's going to stay. Whilst we have very little control over what happens around, there are certain personal choices we could make. By purely tightening the strings on your budget, you might gain in the short term despite inconveniences. Instead, take this as an opportunity to take your focus away from money, wealth and assets. Instead focus on a simple, stress-free, healthy and happy life. These may however be difficult under such circumstances but not unachievable. To be happy or healthy you don't have to try too hard. If you realise these are only your natural state, you are taken there almost immediately. Focus on the experience and the path; the destination will reach you.

So true. I just read dr.clouthier.blogspot.com last night and he pretty much said the very same thing that you are saying here. I could not agree more. With all the negativity right now, there lies still a path of peace, love, and health. Thanks for this reminder, Swami!
