Alabamians, like the rest of the country, are feeling the squeeze. Many of us are out of work, and some, for the first time in their lives.
My message to you is DO NOT give up.
I must tell you that unlike the last comparable period in our history, the Jimmy Carter years, we don’t see a Ronald Regan on the horizon to ride to our salvation. However, with the momentum for change being what it is, the times are ripe for one.
But in the meantime, the future being what it is, do not give up. Instead, look on this as a time of opportunity. If you are out of work, what else do you have to do anyway? Use your time off to take your own fate in your hands. From this trying forge, great things may still be wrought.
Don’t sit around moping and hoping. Put your brain to work. Work on the things you are good at but didn’t have time to do before. Make your hobby pay. Search the internet for legitimate opportunity. It is the greatest collection of ideas in history. Find something that fits and pursue it. What do you have to lose? When you have nothing, anything new is an accomplishment, gain, and blessing, however small.
Make this opportunity time. Fight despair, boredom, and depression by actively looking for your next break. Yes, continue scanning the jobs listings, but when you’re done, search for ways to do what you actually want to do. Again, what do you have to lose?
In this Obamanation economy, we must help ourselves, for often, we’re all we have… Us… Ourselves.
Do not give up. Use your spare time to devise and work a plan. If you can’t make butter and egg money cutting grass in your neighborhood this month, then grab your rake.
They say there is strength in numbers, and this is very much so within the TeaParty movement. There is also strength in the employment numbers. Since there are so many people looking for the same jobs, you know you need to look to other ways to provide for yourself.
Conservatives can’t turn to crime or welfare. We’re not wired that way. Conservatives turn to themselves and adapt and overcome. Use this emergency as a time to rethink and reorder. Look deeply within yourself and find the strength to turn this man made adversity in to man made opportunity. Fight. Fight. Fight.
