COMBAT BAD NEWS BY FINDING YOUR DAILY BLISS

The recession...

Unemployment...

The Big Three Bail-Out...

It's so easy to spiral down into a negative state of mind, or downright panic.

Th first time I saw black and white video of Depression-Era bread lines on a national news report about the economy, my immediate response was Click!  But we can't tune out the news.  We have to know what's going on in the world.

So I turned it back on and watched.  Rather than panic, though, I remembered the fears I had back in 1991, when the Recession struck and my classmates in Journalism school were fretful about finding jobs.  I worked hard, pursued my goals, and landed an awesome internship-turned-job at the Detroit News as a reporter.

Writing and reporting--that was my Bliss.  I followed it, worked hard at it, and was lucky enough to get a great job right out of school, in my hometown. 

The bad news?  My father had died while I was away at school, so the time was bittersweet.

My point?  Focus on what you love, and good things will come to you.    Unemployed or laid off?  Now's the time to find your true calling, to pursue something that you enjoy so much, you'd do it for free.  Yesterday I heard Dr. Michael Beckwith of The Secret say when you're following your life's passion, money becomes your shadow.  It follows you.

So take the negative news in stride.   Immerse in something that makes you happy.  And when you Find Your Daily Bliss, you will be abundantly rewarded.
