Recession Participation Is Optional
In a recent interview, American political commentator and radio personality Rush Limbaugh was asked if he felt badly that he just signed a multi-million dollar contract and bonuses at a time when so many of his fellow Americans were struggling financially in the midst of recession. The assertion was that there maybe some inequity in that given the economic climate in the US, one that is currently affecting so much of the world, and he was asked for his response on the matter. His response was very matter of fact—no he did not feel guilty, he had no reason to; as for the recession, essentially his attitude was this:
What Recession?
Is this to say that Rush Limbaugh does not believe the United States is currently in a recession? That he is clueless to the current economic problems? Certainly not. It is only to say that on a personal level, Limbaugh is not affected by the recession. Why? Because it is his choice not to be.
Limbaugh said that the recession is of little or no personal consequence because he refuses to participate in it. He has worked for many years to achieve his success on his own, creating his wealth, not taking it from others. So why should he feel guilty for that? And because he has done that, he can choose not to be a victim of recession. Now, I am making no comment of support or criticism for or against Mr. Limbaugh, I am simply telling you this story to make a point:
You Do Not Have To Be An Economy Victim
You can also choose not to participate in recession or economic turmoil. Even if you are not Rush Limbaugh and you did not just sign a multi-million dollar contract to talk all over the radio waves.
You can refuse to participate in two ways:
1. Become financially independent by learning to create wealth.
2. Develop a mindset of positivity and success.
Economics is ruled by emotions. Take away the emotions of need, stress, and struggle, and you are left with wealth, success, and freedom. Those emotions don’t require a multi-million dollar contract, they require you. And you have all you need to recession-proof yourself right now.
