Crisis Measures - What we can do to stay afloat

After only a few minutes of network news, one may think that the world as we know it is doubtlessly going to end. I believe that is partially true. Our world and lifestyle, choices, and spending habits are most likely to change somehow. The economy that surrounds us is certainly changing. But, what can we do to remain sane and happy through this tough season?

There are several thing I am going to do to stay afloat and still enjoy life. I will share these resolutions as personal statements:

I will NOT PANIC
The worse things have happened to the best people. Yet the greatest have managed to stay calm and keep control and choose to thrive instead of falling apart.

I will not attribute my happiness to people, places, or, God forbid, things!
Honestly, we have had so much of that in America. Too much, in my opinion. I will learn to be content and happy for life itself, not its derivatives.

I will be thankful
It is so easy to overlook where I have arrived. I will appreciate people and friends around me. It will feel good.

I will thrive
The only way not to fall behind when the race is tough is to accelerate.

I will sacrifice and give
Yes, it will come back to me.
