The economy has been a deep and serious concern for many, bringing with it a spirit of fear, survival concerns, and worry about what the future holds. In light of the current situation, people are simply panicking and thus making irrational decisions based on fear. Let’s face it, history shows us just how severe such an economic crash can be. We need look only a few decades back to see the potential results. And, yes, that can be frightening.
Many people have called, written, and emailed me asking questions regarding our future. What can we expect? Will we have another Great Depression? Will it be worse than the Great Depression? Will this situation turn around any time soon? Should I be doing this, that , the other … The questions have been innumerable.
Yes, things will improve. In fact, this current financial crisis will result in amazingly wonderful things. But let’s first take a look at the current, more immediate situation:
Yes, things will continue to tumble. In spite of the stimulus package being proposed (and it will pass once a few more minor modifications have been made) will not stop the downward spiral. The impact our dear President Barack Obama intends for this package to create will be only half-fulfilled, which is truly greater than most can hope for. However, more jobs will be lost (in the millions), more companies will go under, and people will continue to lose homes and other valuable possessions. We have not yet hit rock bottom, as the old cliché goes. It isn’t over yet, but it also isn’t necessary to put your head between your legs and kiss your rear goodbye, for great things are around the corner.
In about two years time, we will begin to see the lifting of this economic crisis. It will be slow starting, but once the relief begins, we can expect it to continue in a positive direction.
Within a few months of hitting the proverbial rock bottom, we’ll begin to see an amazing boom in the economy, both in the USA and abroad – and it’s quite likely to be an historical boon (and boom), the likes of which we have never before seen.
Tremendous progress will be made in green energies, the housing market will begin to flourish, technology will take ever-increasing turns toward environmental friendliness, government will see major positive overhauls that benefit everyone, rather than just the rich, the playing fields in terms of jobs will even out, and oil consumption will be lowered worldwide due to the introduction of new and easily sustainable and easily renewable resources (many of which have not yet been discovered). In approximately ten years Americans will no longer be the number one consumers of oil / oil-based products, likely dropping to number three or four on the list. America will be on the absolute leading edge of these new and wonderful technologies and resources.
During and following the current economic crisis, we’ll see amazing returns to the things that most matter in life: God/Spirituality and family. We’ll see more and more people spending time with their families – setting aside much of the “transportable technologies” such as cell phones, i-pods, lap top computers, etc for quality time with their loved ones. We’ll see people returning to the understanding that we need to get out of our houses and into nature and acting upon those impulses.
There will be an increase in home gardening in terms of food products (and this will aid in increasing the overall health of many because the damaging chemicals currently in food products will not be applied to the food sources we cultivate in our own yards. This will create higher standards imposed by the FDA for store bought foods, and in following, this will have tremendous implications for the welfare of our people, and also the health-care system).
Jobs will be so plentiful in the USA that there will not be enough people to fill them!
Great things are coming for those of us who can ride out these current financial tidal waves, so grab your surf boards and enjoy the ride!
