The Economy
What holds more?
Often, we aer asking a similar question, desiring to maximize the experience despite the inflated prices of recent.
When life is busy, how often do we overeat to compensate for the push to eat quickly, instead of relaxing and allowing for the food to digest and be more cognizant as to when to stop eating. I certainly have had such moments at times.
How to maximize the value while being cost effective? That is a question I often ask. Valuing the quality of my experience, while noting my other areas where I may not spend. At times, it seems like a balancing act, and at times, a seeming miracle all comes together smoothly at the end.
Perhaps a key to the challenge may include constant change of environment whether political and public policy, unexpected changes in structures and what they offer or provide.
Great change often brings greater challenges to budgeting and planning. Having at times the benefit of instinctively knowing how much the total is before arriving at the payment register, certainly helps. What happens on those times when your internal counting is not counting? You are in line at the register or at the checkout, making new decisions on what not to purchase during that shopping experience.
Through the re-evaluation of what to purchase or not purchase, is an example of where one is placing one’s values. A concept often applied in other areas of life, especially during moments or decades of crises. The complexities often require re-alignment of values and steps toward to desired vision. With complexities, often nimbleness is required to adjust to another unexpected or ill-timed situation.
Many, to all of us, will be affected in some way with the many changes, great and small. The impact may come with a wallop or a whisper. Ignoring is not a good idea, though difficulties often bring the domino effect which has an undeniable impact. Often the question is what is one’s next step.
Following one’s own financial trends can be helpful, so long as not getting too caught up in the detail and not see the picture and how the details come into that picture at that particular time, much like the difference in financial statements used in evaluating one’s personal or business state, at one particular date or as current cash flow.
We are in a time of great change now for many reasons, and this conflict along with a push and pull movement, is not solely based on an ideology or political party. The fact is the desire to negotiate and communicate with others with different views had become more explosive over the years, due to the competitive element and desire to win. While the competitive element helps with innovative ideas to emerge, an overkill is just that. The divisiveness has been flamed from those deeply hidden from public view. There are those in the public eye that brings a variety of ideas and viewpoints to the forefront.
The beauty of the United States has been open speech and in a measured way, versus physical and emotional destructiveness. We have been blessed to have the opportunity to create a new and more fulfilling life. Ingenuity and persistence are elements for the success of pioneers and innovating one’s life. People as individuals and relationships are certainly important factors in one’s success here in the United States. Realizing humanity has value, beyond being a cog in a corporation or in other areas of industry, would certainly and positively contribute to the rebirth of the United States and to those who live here.
