With so much gloom and doom about and a collective International mindset shaped by negative media coverage of events is it any wonder that individuals lack confidence. All this negative reporting becomes just a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It is now down to individuals to buck the trend and prosper because everyone else is falling in the same ‘I can’t do anything about it – trap. The only people I hear these days in the media who are speaking positively are entrepreneurs. Why? – because they are adaptable and can weather any financial storm.
Perhaps now, more than many new years of the past, is a good time for you to look inward – wonder if you are living life in the best possible way, and examine if there are things you’d like to change.
I believe it’s up to you to create a life that works, that feels right, and that makes you happy. But how in the world can you tell if you’re living your life to the fullest? I think that if you ask yourselves these following questions you will get a fair idea.
- Are you doing what you love most of the time? All of us do some things we don’t much care for, but if that’s all you do, you’re in trouble.
- Do you feel comfortable most of the time? your days shouldn’t be filled with anxiety or fear.
- Are you willing and able to take risks?
- Do you feel free to make mistakes without causing harsh criticism or catastrophe?
- Do you cut yourself enough slack to fail from time to time without making any undue fuss about it?
- Do you feel optimistic about the future, and confident that your plans will come to fruition?
- Do you feel that your life is one in which you can be your best self?
If you’ve answered “no” to any of these questions, it’s important to realize that you’re not doing yourself or anyone else a favour by tolerating these conditions.
Maybe it’s time to make some changes – invest in yourself – see how you can prosper when the rest are floundering. The first thing to do is get motivated and get a positive mindset. You could be one of the positive green shoots of recovery.

About Keith Watson
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
