There is a lot of news right now about this world wide depression. I decided to give this a bit of thought. The question I asked myself was -
What is a depression ?
The answer - it is a state that people feel they have absolutely no control over.
I then asked myself "can you give someone poverty on a plate or can you give them prosperity on a plate ?" and the answer is no to both.
I then realised that in good times people go bankrupt - and so do they go bankrupt in the bad times.
A lot of the current situation is more a state of mind that is being perpetuated by the media. Money has not been burned or confiscated. It is still around and might be worth a bit less but a Pound is still worth something.
It would be an absolute shame if all our 2012 Olympic athletes believed that all is lost, and there is no chance of winning a medal. They have to be absolutely positive that they are taking the right action to win medals in 2012 London Olympics.
We need to be doing the same in our everyday lives, regardless of the media. They need to spell doom and gloom because it sells papers.
It is time for the whole nation to take a positive approach to the circumstances. This, hopefully, will rub off onto our athletes, and this way they will put in the right preparation for those all important 2012 London Olympics.
