We, (I), NOT Washington need to be responsible for our (my) success or failure. Stop blaming Congress waiting for them to fix things. The ONLY financial system that works is capitalism functioning under moral restraint.
Fear is the enemy of hope - Dave Ramsey. The stock market has been driven down by fear, fear perpetuated from major news outlets and Washington causing a fear feeding hysteria. Stop believing the hysteria.
Dave encouraged the audience to take action for our financial situation. We need to have the perseverance. Work like it all depends on you; pray like it all depends on God. It make take rethinking your career or trade. Failure pushes us to excellence because it chases us.
Lets get things in perspective. Keep in mind, during the Great Depression unemployment was 25%; now it is 8%. Fear does not reflect reality. We have got to stop the hysteria. Where there is no vision, the people parish. (Prov. 29:18). When you give, you take your eyes off yourself. Don't participate in loser talk. This means you may have to turn off the news. Keep in mind, Hope does not come from Washington, but from the nail scarred hands.
Right now the market has staged an amazing comeback and has recovered amazingly . The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has now risen more than 25 percent, one of its best runs since the Great Depression. Why do we not here this in the news???
MEMORABLE COMMENTS:
“There’s a great place to go when you’re broke: to work!” —Dave’s Grandmother
“Government big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.” —Barry Goldwater
“Our economy rests on a three-legged stool—political freedom, economic freedom, and moral restraint.” —Michael Novak
"Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
YOU have to fix you! When you wait on the government to fix your life and wait for money to be taken from others and given to you, that's a spirit of envy. Go be somebody! Get up, take action, inject yourself into the situation. Get moving. Your best success at a chance of career is you. Be creative.
