Says Who?
The long slippery slide into the deep dark murky valley has been hugely testing.
We were ill equipped.
Assuming we have hit the bottom, we are all a little numb, confused and dizzy.
But, there is a time to get up and a time to march on.
But beware!
Every day I meet people who tell me about the next ‘boom’.
I’m impressed at their crystal gazing rose tinted lenses.
I’m impressed at their certainty.
I’m impressed by their confidence.
You see, I don’t necessarily agree.
A bust often follows a boom.
It does not follow that a boom will follow a bust.
This may just be the new norm, the cleansing of a greedy past.
This may be our new future.
This may be how it will be.
Think about it.
If you have suddenly discovered your favourite wine elsewhere at half the price.
If you discovered you can clean your own car.
If you know it’s not bad doing your own ironing
If you can now mow your own lawn.
And, if you can buy your favourite treat cheaper than before.
I have one question for you;
“Who says this bust will be followed by a boom?”
On second thoughts, a second (perhaps better) question;
“Have you a plan to cope with the present being the new future?”
