HoHo - Happy Optimistic - It's About Attitude

Let's change our attitude!

Today's economic climate is turbulent to say the least. Every day we hear about company layoffs, increasing unemployment rates and foreclosure rates with a myriad of other activities that seem depressing. Now is an important time to keep that happy optimistic attitude and help build the economy. Think - feel - do. Think positive, feel positive and do positive.

For nonbelievers, here is a recent fun example. I went to the ISM - Atlanta December Holiday Event a few days ago. It was fun to talk with other members, and the speaker, Steve Cohn was terrific. In an indirect way, he had a similar message about creating better relationships. We also had a few door prizes including framed pictures of Augusta National Golf Club. As the winning ticket was drawn, Don Mahone, who was sitting at my table started to get up and claim his prize. People throughout the room looked at him smiling since the winning number was not even announced yet! By no surprise to me, Don's ticket number was called out. He has the HoHo attitude (although he did not know to call it that!). Happy Optimistic or Think - feel -do. Many contemporary authors are writing books best sellers on positive thinking and the importance of optimism.

Think - feel - do. If we think these are tough economic times, we feel it, we will act accordingly. I propose for those people still employed and in their house, to instead think - feel - do that the economy is on the cusp of rebound. Let's think HoHo and bring the economy back to where we want it to be. Maybe a change of attitude will help those people who aren't so lucky. Don had the HoHo attitude and won a beautiful picture. It seemed to be destiny. What is yours?

Happy Holidays!
HoHo!
