2010 Expectations, Hopes and Dreams
Kordel
So 2009 is behind us, and it was definitely an interesting year… Rough financial times for many people, and a season (nationwide) of re-evaluation and soul searching.
So what is ahead? Have we grown and learned from the Credit and Mortgage crisis of ’08 / ’09? Have we (individually and corporately) really learned the true worth of “things” verses people? What will 2010 look like in comparison to 2009?
I’d like to believe we have learned and grown through 08 and 09. I’m a little skeptical. I personally don’t think I’ve seen enough lifestyle changes throughout our culture to provide long-lasting transformation in our economy and culture. But I could be wrong.
I believe 2010 will be better for most of us than 2009 was. I believe the economy WILL pick up and 2010 will be a year of growth across the board.
But I don’t feel that we’ve seen the last of hard times. I’m afraid that these past two years have just been a forewarning of greater things to come.
I’m no doomsayer, but my thoughts would be; heed the warning, set your house (finances, relationships) in order, because the next time things hit the fan, I don’t think even our government will be able to bail us out.
Just personal opinion… Wake up, smell the coffee, and make the changes that need to be made – 9 out of 10 of us aren’t really living a sustainable life style, and it’s time to deal with it.
Happy New Year! 2010 WILL BE a great year – let’s just make sure that 2011, 2012, 2013 and beyond are even better – let’s learn our lesson and learn it well – let’s take what we’ve learned and build a solid NEW foundation for our lives, and let’s press on.
God Bless America – and America Bless God!
