George Mantor | Fight or Flight – How long will it be before the .01% has it all?

..........This country is facing a mental health crisis of epic proportions. In Greece, just two years of austerity is being cited by desperate people just before they shoot themselves or set themselves ablaze in public places.

You cannot run away from stress so you have to learn to fight it. Get healthy. Set aside time to exercise every day. In addition to combating the unhealthful side-affects, it will elevate your mood.

Take a faith based moment. Like a timeout from negative thinking, it is important to take time to be thankful. Whatever your religious beliefs, whether you are an agnostic or an atheist, you can always fall back on faith. Not faith in a rescue by a higher power, but faith in yourself to rise to the challenges of your life.

Not faith that everything will turn out the way you want, but that you will turn out just fine no matter how things turn out.

Life isn’t supposed to be perfect. Without challenges, there is no growth. Without deprivation it is hard to fully appreciate abundance. Without resistance one can never get stronger.

It isn’t about success or failure; both are imposters and both are temporary. In my view, you can never really call yourself a success unless you have bounced back from a failure or two.

People around us are in pain. We may not see it. Many people have been humiliated by their inability to overcome their set-backs and are embarrassed to discuss their problems

If you have been blessed with stable income throughout the course of the recession you need to step up and be a community builder. We need each other as much now as we did when our country was founded. We can no longer rely on anything associated with government to solve our real and present needs.

We must reweave the fabric of our communities by taking responsibility for our own neighborhoods, reaching out to those who are struggling and offering compassion and opportunity.

Look at the chart again and ask yourself how long you personally can avoid the consequences of what the chart so graphically proves. Unless the momentum of the last thirty years can somehow be reversed, how long will it be before the .01% has it all?
