As unemployment rates rise to levels not seen in decades and our nation faces one of the worst economic disasters in its history, one new company pledges to finance the rescue and creation of thousands of jobs across the country. “The EconoDude.com mission is one of hope and integrity for everyone,” says EconoDude founder, Kurt Turrell. “We cannot rely completely on government or a stimulus package to fix our economy and get people back to work.” According to Turrell, it is the responsibility of every person to help. “I heard this news story about a school in Maine that had to cut several jobs due to lack of funds. Everyone on the staff of the school donated one day’s wage and they rescued those cut jobs,” adds Mr. Turrell. Turrell modeled EconoDude with that philanthropic cause at its heart.

I still believe that if he had large-scale exposure – meaning some influential advocates working on his behalf – his artwork and his ultimate confidence in artistic accomplishment would be realized. But alas, my father is not aggressive and would not take steps to “play the game” of artist fame.

I am afraid. I am troubled that war is not only likely, but also imminent, unless the power structures around the planet (and the little people) use the current financial crisis as a wake-up call.

This blog is about motivation and mental preparation (for success in life) within the obligatory trappings of societal reality; too much thought or analysis tends to be depressing to the soul. Recognition of true value(s) and acceptance of personal responsibility are the keys to understanding and ultimate acceptance.
