2 Economies

You have heard it before but I think it is important enough to share again and again.
Someone reminded me of this a couple of weeks ago and I've been focusing on it ever since, especially after today.
There are two economies in this world: The one Out There That You have No control over includes: inflation, job cuts, stock market, Iraq, and every other thing reported in the newspaper Then their is the one In Here That You have total control over: includes how and where you use your talents and strengths, the immediate opportunity at work school etc.right in front of you, your bank account, your assets and liabilities, and your income and expenses.
The person who reminded me of this imagines a bubble is around his home and his place of work and inside those two bubbles are his economies and that is what he focuses on.
In my economy and the worlds economy the margins have become tighter... maybe they are for you too. Jes was laid off today and I am very grateful someone reminded me of this piece of wisdom. After all their goes half my economy... for now.We immediatley took action freezing spending, making cuts to non-essential monthly bills, are deffering loans, and made a committment to doing a 21 day health and fitness cleanse as we work together to get through this time. So I am not worried but I realized that it is in part to pieces of wisdom like this one.
Tomorrow I choose to get to work on my economy and in thanks to the person who shared this with me I am now sharing it with you.
All the best Ladies and Gents
