Everyone's been affected by the recession in some way. Whether it be job loss, low sales, tough times in the stock market or any other way. How have you been personally affected by this recession??

Definitely getting harder to makes end meet.

I would say it hasnt been as hard on me as it has others as I am still in school. I do worry that once I graduate there will not be many job openings. My friends have decided to pursue a masters degree in hopes the economy will rebound by the time they finish their studies but that is not a path I would like to take.

Although some of us are currently unaffected by the economic situation, we should know better that the recession will continue to create a domino effect and we will feel its full weight on us someday unless it is reversed. What bothers me right now is that companies start laying off workers, because it's a possibility that this will include those that are dear to us.

You're completely right applepink, those of us who haven't been affected by the recessions should be focusing on two things:

1.) Helping those who have been affected. Helping people who've been affected by the recession will help you in the long run because, if the recession continues, you will eventually lose money. One of the best ways to protect yourself is to be an active part in slowing it down or reversing it.

2.) Make more money now, while you can, in order to give yourself more security. This one is self explanatory.

I am a cash gifter. There are so many people outh there who are hurting financially, and need help. The poor economy has actually helped us, as more people need help then ever before. Now, we have to enlighten everyone about cash gifting, and how much it can benefit them financially if done properly.

I guess that's one way to look at it, the economic situation is driving more people to look for legit ways of making money online. More people looking for an online income means more prospects, potential partners and customers.

Doh, I may have to get a job... or find one.

Be in Joy now and everything will change

In the moment that I discovered The Secret I realized that I had been living my entire life backwards. If things were good in my life, I was happy. If things were difficult in my life and everything was going wrong, I was stressed and miserable. In my ignorance, I had been misusing the law of attraction all of my life. But all of that changed when I had the knowledge of The Secret.

To live in accordance with The Secret and the most powerful law in the Universe, we must be in Joy first - and then everything will change. To live our lives by emotionally reacting to what is happening outside of us is misusing the law! As we react with negative emotion to any difficulties, we attract more negativity into our lives. We cannot defy the law of attraction, which operates on the most microscopic levels of vibration, and with absolute exactitude.

You must be in Joy first. And then your life will change into Joy.

Difficult times are the greatest opportunities in disguise. When we face difficult times we have to put in determined work to get ourselves into Joy. But let me tell you, when you can get yourself into Joy despite what is happening around you, your life must change - it's the law!

In addition, as you become Joy in difficult times you are becoming the master of your emotions, the master of your life, and the master of the law of attraction. Difficult times are your greatest opportunity to practice yourself into Joy.

Of course if your life is going along swimmingly then it is very easy to be in Joy. During those times your Joy is most likely a reaction to the good times. But the magnificence and the power that you really have within you will be seen when you can be in Joy during difficult times. It is then that you will see the true power that you have within you, because as you hold to Joy, you will shift all the energies of the Universe, and your life and your world will change.

The cause of everything is within you, and the effect is what you experience in your life. You have the power within you to change everything by putting yourself in Joy. You can change everything so easily by becoming Joy first! And nothing can change until you get yourself in Joy, because that is the law of attraction. Like attracts like! The energy of Joy attracts energy of Joy!

Do whatever it takes to find your Joy, and then keep yourself in it no matter what. Keep ramping up your level of Joy every day. There is no limit to the levels of Joy you can reach. You will see change to the degree of Joy that you can attain and maintain. The higher the Joy you can create within you, the more spectacular the change, and the higher the Joy, the faster the change. Once you get yourself in Joy it is easy to maintain it, because your emanation of Joy attracts more Joy. The law of attraction will continually send you more feelings of Joy.

You cannot criticize or blame or complain when you are in Joy. You cannot be afraid when you are in Joy. You cannot speak negatively when you are in Joy. You cannot harm another when you are in Joy. Negativity cannot reach you when you are in Joy.

When you are in Joy you are compassionate. When you are in Joy you are considerate and caring. When you are in Joy you love others. When you are in Joy you appreciate everything. When you are in Joy you are in love with the world, and the Universe is in love with you.

Be in Joy. Seek it with all of your heart, and you will find it.

May the Joy be with you

Well I am in the construction business and I have some land surveying experience and those occupations down here in Georgia are just about halted. So when I get through with my current project, it appears not only will I have to find another job but a another career.

Being an Aussie, the recession probably hasn't hit with it's full brunt yet. Saying that though times are tough for many. Unemployment in my area is screaming to never seen before heights due to being in an industrial area.

For me, well, a few weeks ago I lost my second job. Luckily I still have my first job, but I have to work incredible hours, to keep it. The problems with being on a salary I suppose. No matter what it takes to get the job done, as long as it gets done I get a pay packet. However the second job was needed to just make the ends meet.

I have followed the secret guidelines for the last year or so, while I am forever gratefull, and strive to find positives every day. I do find the pressures of living these days overbearing. Some days it is hard to find the positives, but on the bright side, I still look for them.

I am looking for the Joy diceman, really I am.

Just over 2 million are now unemployed in the UK. They say that by the end of 2009 it`ll have gone up to around 3 million out of work.

Construction is one of the worst hit sectors, along with car sales, and retail outlets. Even some of the `biggies` like Woolworths weren`t immune from this one.

Like our country, a third world one, Luckily I haven't been affected as yet.

But I'm worried about the future. Hope it won't affect even later on and I get a job after graduation this year.

I am pretty sure the recession has affected everybody but the trick is to adapt. Despite what was going on with the economy I still had an amazing year. For some reason people really love them some Acai berry. Had a half a million dollar ad campaign going until that new pr on how Acai has no real weight loss benefits ahahaah. Its merely an antioxidant at best, but I love playing into the hype. Now since that is a dying niche I am going to switch over to the next big thing once again.

I just got laid off and looking for something to produce income. Single father with custody of my three children, house on the verge of foreclosure. I need help!!!
