Sluggish?

Creativity is the basis for a strong economy. People think it is consumerism, but really it is creativity. People will tire of most things (excluding pizza, bacon and sex). Get them involved in something new, they usually perk up.

However, people are afraid of new things because, well, people are afraid of death and even worse, living in some sort of unknown future pain.

This hurts us.

Usually, the creative impulse can bust through the fear impulse. However, the fear impulse is strong right now--but it can be passed with strong creative intentions.

If you are feeling sluggish or see sluggishness around you, look at it for what it is: a lack of creative force.

Then, get creative. And pass that along. Bust through the old timers who denounce the economy while at the same time add nothing new to it.

We don’t need a revolution. We just need an acceptance of what is great about us. It really is fun.

Throw out some things. Make room for the new.
