Don’t panic – make art.
In my last post I wrote about turning fear into faith, the response I got was somewhat overwhelming, so many calls and e-mails from people telling their story of how they where having to set their dreams aside just to survive. Keeping up with the bills has suddenly become a goal. At the time of that post, we had no idea of the upcoming financial crisis. I thought people were in fear then and then BAM…… fear city sets in.
The world is in a financial freak out.
I want to help you re-frame this.
The old systems are failing; they have to break down so the new systems can be built.
This is not the time to panic, when we become negative and fearful we create more negativity and fear.
Here is your challenge, be in abundance and trust, turn your fear into faith. The universe is supporting you, the more you are able to unplug from the fear and come from a knowingness that you are taken care of the more this will be your truth.
When things get out of control, they have a tendency to come crashing down just like the housing market. The greed on Wall Street and Main Street was in need of an attitude adjustment, the incompetence in the auto industry needed to be outed. All is exactly as it should be.
It is time for us to assess our values and re-align with a different reality. Where you really trying to keep up with Paris & Puff Daddy is bottle service fun? Should you go out and buy a house knowing that it’s a stretch and you aren’t going to be able to make the mortgage in 3-5 years but you will just cross that bridge when you get to it. This is not a financial plan; it’s a financial nightmare
Let’s look on the bright side, what bright side you say?
Come on, this glass is half full.
What is the upside to the financial crisis?
1. If you have money it’s the perfect time to buy stocks, houses and cars.
If you don’t have any money, theres still good news….
2. Recessions are great news for art; look at the past, (NYC in the 70’s) what are the greatest moments in creativity? Most have been driven by hard times. When the going gets tough, the creative get going. Channel your fear and anger into your medium, go deep, you will shock yourself with the results.
2. People are banning together in community. We have become so disconnected from each other, unless you have been consciously building your supports, you are probably floating alone. Now is the time to connect with like-minded friends and associates to talk about how you can support each other.
3. Reassess and reconnect with what’s really important to you. Now is the time to slow your roll and asses your priorities it’s good for the environment, it’s good for your spirit.
4. Create and use that budget you have been procrastinating on for the past five years. If not now then when?
5. You now have the opportunity to unplug from the fear and connect to your strength.
