I have come across several articles with a cynic tone about being positive in this time of crisis. Maybe it is just easy for me to tell everyone to be positive because, yes, I can feel the financial crisis like everyone else. But I guess I am lucky enough to have siblings who help me out. For some people out there who rely on themselves only, it is hard to maintain a positive outlook in life or a positive state of being. Lost job, depleted savings, no sign of a new job in the horizon.

But you know, we can try to stay positive and be hopeful. Because we attract positive energy that way. And do you remember what the elders say? When you are down, deep down there, there’s no way to go but up. It may take a while. It may have to come in a form of a sacrifice. But it will come. A threadbare thing to hold on to, positive thoughts. We just have to always remember that there is a time for everything and a higher purpose to what’s happening in our lives.
