Preparing For The Storms Ahead

I don’t know what the future holds, but I can tell you how to prepare for it.

In my humble opinion, predicting the future is tricky business, and anyone that says they KNOW what’s going to happen is either a liar or a fool. With that being said, I will tell you what my guts says is going to happen, even if I don’t think you’re going to like it.

In my humble opinion, the smartest thing to do is to prepare FIRST as a person for whatever the future holds- good times or bad. If life gets better, great. If things get worse, then you’re already better off than 95% of the population.

Everyone has storms in their life. Some storms are bigger than others. As pessimistic as it sounds, being realistic about human nature throughout history tells us a very prudent approach to life is to…

Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

So where to begin?

Begin with you. Begin with living a life of total integrity, starting with your health. Why your health? If you’ve been a reader of mine for any length of time, you know the mantra:

The emotions that govern your daily health choices are very powerful- and are exploited for profit 24/7. And when you can control these emotions, you have a skill set that very few people possess any longer:

The ability to see things as they are, and the discipline to do something about them.

Make no mistake, that ONE ability will serve you REGARDLESS of what the future holds.

Not only will people that can keep trying until they exceed at something be in demand, they will possess the ability to think clearly- when there’s a very good chance that cooler heads will be needed to survive and prosper in a world much different than the one we’re used to.

Here’s something few people realize:

Only 5% of people succeed at weight loss, and only 5% of people are wealthy.

That’s not a coincidence.

It’s because they both require the same exact skill set: The skill of seeing what you want, and pressing on until you get it.

Forget about looking better to the opposite sex, living longer, having more energy, getting sick less, lowering your health care costs, and feeling better about yourself.

These are the fringe benefits.

Seeing what you want and taking action until you get it will serve you better than any life skill you can acquire.

What do I think the future holds?

First, I want you to know I HOPE AND PRAY I AM WRONG.

In my humble opinion, we have grossly and artificially distorted the natural ebb and flow of the economy. I believe our attempts to spend our way out of bankruptcy will have unintended consequences that are going to be very unpleasant, to say the least.

How this will manifest itself has so many variables, that no one can predict what will unfold.

However, my instincts tell me this:

Things will soon look better, much better. All the fear mongers and people telling us to buy gold are going to look like idiots.

Right when we think the danger has passed and we can return to our usual ways, something not even on the radar screen will be a catalyst for our economic chickens finally coming home to roost.

Again, how that will manifest itself is unpredictable. Since there’s no way to plan externally for every possible scenario, all you can do is prepare yourself internally. And there’s no better way to prepare yourself as a person than this:

Get all the lies and delusions out of your life- and live with honor and integerity.

And there’s no better way to begin living with integrity than to start with your health choices- because the results are clear and evident.

In other words, you can’t lie to yourself here and get away with it.

The reality is this: Lies uncorrected [health or economic] regardless if they come from others or yourself, will somehow drain, damage, or destroy your life and future.

Again, I hope I am wrong. If I am, there’s no downside to getting on top of your game NOW, before everyone else realizes that’s exactly what they have to do.

A life of integrity, clarity, and incredible personal freedom is much closer than you think.

All it takes is an honest look, and action.

And that’s the truth.

To your health and success, and may God bless.
