This is how comedian George Burns described a small town in the mid west that he disliked. It also describes how I feel about the current state of the economy.
If you are like me, you are getting tired of this recession or “ice age” as I have been describing it. It seems that most people have put their purchasing decisions on ice. The message for us marketers is to come back later when things are better—maybe next year.
Yes, happiness is a warm puppy, but confronting adversity and persevering is emotionally and psychologically satisfying. Successfully confronting adversity allows us to discover strengths we never knew we had. We can be drawn closer to others who share this experience; this could be existing friends and family or new friends. We may even feel wiser and more in touch with the true meaning of things by simply enduring all the problems presented.
While is true that we may never have wished for this prolonged recession, it can provide a great opportunity for personal empowerment and growth.
