Society and the media try to dictate everything for us, including our emotions. For almost anything you can think of in life, the masses have prescribed an emotion. All too often we fall into the trap of feeling how we ‘should’ feel, instead of what feels right to us.

‘Should’ Feelings Bring You Down

Think about the economic situation of today. Turn on the TV, listen to the news, and all you hear about is the doom and gloom of the world’s economy. You hear how consumers and even large corporations have no confidence, how they will not part with money even if they have it and have needs and wants, and how desperate everyone is. All you hear is how hard life is. You walk away ‘knowing’ that you should feel the same.

But should you? WHY should you? Is there a real reason in your life to feel depressed and negative about the current state of affairs and the future? Is there nothing good here? No hope for improvement?

What’s Your Real Situation?

Stop a minute and think about your true current state of affairs. Are you and yours going hungry? Are you out of work? Are you incapable of earning? Is there a real reason why you should be going without any one thing that you need, or even want within reason?

For some of you the answer to some of those above questions may be a ‘yes’, and certainly I do feel for you—I am not heartless. The point is, is this prescribed emotion doing you any good? Is it helpful to you to feel stress and anger over your situation, or will it do you more good to take stock in what you still have, and think positively about your ability and the future? Could this be a prime opportunity to take some new-found time and spend it in wealth creation and/or in building a more stable, independent future for yourself by doing something new, like starting an online business or internet marketing venture?

I’m sure you all see where I am heading with this. Just because every media outlet you turn to is telling you how bad life is does not mean you have to accept that prescription. Life throws you curves, but you are a capable person, capable of controlling your own emotions, of choosing to live positively, and of creating the life of wealth, prosperity, and happiness that you desire. YOU be the one to dictate what you should feel, and never mind what people tell you you ‘should’ be feeling!
