Tomorrow Will Worry About Itself

Unless you are in the extremely fortunate position of working for a bulletproof industry (see Gambling, Alcohol, Debt Collection, Bankruptcy Law, Politics, etc. for possible careers), you have absolutely been affected by the recession. Marketing has definitely taken its hits. Every day, I talk to folks stressed out over lack of work, what the future holds, how to make ends meet, how to collect, etc. - or just as bad, grousing over having to do their jobs for less on the dollar, faster or during extended hours. Take a deep breath, people. For the most part, we are all in the same boat. We all have the same number of hours in a day. We can only do what we can do today and then go to bed. No point in staying up all night worrying about it. Be cheerful in your approach. Be grateful for any opportunity to come your way. Look for ways to help someone out, even if it's for free, because when this ride is over, you will be remembered for how you performed. Matthew 6:33-34 says "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Share a smile, offer encouragement, lend a hand, give thanks. Jelly beans for everyone. God bless your day!
