How do you stay positive in a negative world? Is the world really negative, or is that just what people want you to think? It's a way of controlling the masses: tell them there's a credit crunch, that a recession is round the corner and lo and behold enough people believe it that it happens, and you keep people quiet and willing to stay in lower paid jobs; willing to stay in jobs they dislike; willing to work an extra shift to keep up with the interest rates.
Their perspective on life shortens and they see only problems. I am the same: I tend to focus on problems rather than solutions, linger over negativity when I should be looking for the positives.
People still prosper in times of recession. Whether they're in sales or in a caring profession there is still money to be made. People will still buy from you if you ask enough people as long as you're offering something that they want. People still get ill or in need of care.
Turn your problems around and look for the positives, and you will see that your life is a blessing and there is always money to be made.

Positive thinking
Just been reading Phil Gosling's newsletter, and it made me smile, and look at life more positively. It's easy to focus on the negative in life, and get caught up in our own problems when we should be looking for the positive.
If you focus on the negative, you will attract more negative things into your life and you will say to yourself and anyone who will listen...."see, I was right, nothing goes right for me..."
It may be the middle of July, and it may be a rainy day -- more fitting weather for November or February -- but that doesn't mean it is a miserable day. It is a great day, and all is well with the world. We might get a little wet when we go outside, but that is usually all that will happen.
Though knife crime among teenagers is on the up (if you read the newspapers, or listen to the news) we can walk down the street safely, and do not need to wear body armour. If you are scared to go out because you think you may get mugged, or even knifed, you are more likely to make it happen.
As Phil says...cancel the newspapers, switch off the negative television sets, and read something more uplifting and life enhancing.
