Pondspectives with Mike

Mind Power for 2010 and Your Future

By Mike Garcia

After reading about the economic projections for the new year, do you feel puzzled, confused and disoriented? Some top economists say the worst is over. Others say it will be a haul and still others report that we have yet to see the bottom.

Those with experience sailing know that you cannot control the wind, but you can control the sails. Understanding what we can and cannot control offers huge relief to the human mind.

Why do people worry? They are dwelling on what they cannot control. Thinking about and acting on what we can control helps to melt away the emotion of worry.

Desire led you to learn how to do your pond or water garden job. You considered getting into business for yourself, and you decided to use pond building or distributing as your business vehicle. It started with a thought and a desire.

Is it possible that your thoughts, which led to huge success in the 1990s, could be tweaked and refocused so you can shift direction and ride out and even prosper in the current economic meltdown?
