But how come I know some people, from the very industries that were hit the hardest, are more successful now than before the meltdown?

There are also people who should have been raking it in but were miserable failures?

The answer lies in our attitude.

If we think we will not achieve our goals because of the economic downturn, we are correct. If we say we will exceed our goals despite a gloomy market, we are right too.

It is not only the external forces that shape our future. We have our internal response system that largely dictates the outcome of any endeavor we make.

The future is only as good or bad as we see it to be.

The future is in your hands.
