Mission: H.O.P.E. – Righting the Wrong Address

Tried to get a job today but
When dem see the application dem say
If this is really where you reside
Please step outside
She asked them why
And they replied…

We don’t want no trouble
We don’t want no trouble, no day
Cause lady where you come from
People die there everyday
For our safety that’s where you should stay
“Wrong Address” – Etana

During January, Your Money has turned the spotlight on organizations and persons that are helping others to conquer their challenges and succeed despite setbacks. Under the theme Mission: H.O.P.E. – Helping Others to Prosper and Excel, we have shown that it is possible for us to combine positive thinking with practical training to achieve our financial goals.

There are still major challenges facing some Jamaicans, who in spite of demonstrating the right attitudes, face overwhelming roadblocks along their journey to economic achievement. For many inner city residents, being born in poverty may seem like a verdict that sentences them to forever remain in financial distress.

I regularly give presentations to companies and organizations to educate their team members about financial success principles. When I speak to many young people they seem to be overwhelmed by the negative occurrences in Jamaica, and appear to have given up hope that it is possible for them to have a brighter future.

Prosperity is Mine in 2009!

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” – Anne Bradstreet, British poet

The eventful year 2008 is now history. Some people might whisper “good riddance”, as they reflect on the financial challenges of this tumultuous 12-month period. As the reports of another year of austerity permeate the air, I am now declaring that this does not have to be our reality. Instead, let’s all pronounce that “Prosperity is mine in 2009!”

I must confess that I am tired of all the negative financial reports that prophesy financial doom and gloom. It’s not that I don’t recognise the severity of the economic crunch; I am concerned about the persons who are facing redundancy, foreclosure or mounting debt, and the businesses which are finding it difficult to remain viable.

However, as someone who understands and has experienced the law of attraction, which states that whatever you concentrate on will multiply in your life, I’m more concerned about the self-fulfilling nature of problem-centric thinking. Continue reading Prosperity is Mine in 2009!
