Have We Reached the “END TIMES”?

We are living in perhaps the most interesting time in history. People are stating that we are in the times the Bible describes as the End Times.  If you believe this then you are 100% correct.  However if you believe in your ability to make your life whatever you choose it to be then you are also right.  After all we are the only animal on earth that has the ability to choose.  There must be a reason for that.  Perhaps it is because our creator wants us to be in charge of our own life.

During the first “Great Depression” people were saying the same things and many people suffered and died poor.  However, others chose not to believe that and they did very well and actually made a lot of money during the Depression.

I just listened to the teleconference call by Robert Kiyosaki and Mike Dillard spoke about predicting the future.  Basically they said that whatever we believe will be true for us.  However talk is cheap.  If you feel that the end is near and you crawl into a hole and cover your eyes and ears then your end is upon you. 

If on the other hand you say “I am going to do the very best I can to make things better for me.”, and you take action to make the very best of today, then you can come out of this depression better off than most people.

I was at the dentist yesterday to have my teeth cleaned.  I asked my hygienist what other people are talking about.  She said people talk about and are concerned about the economy and the upcoming elections.  She told me that people are concerned about whom to vote for, that it is a choice between the lesser of two evils.  My reply was “Why do we think we have to choose between the two most visible candidates?”  We do have other choices in the elections.  We do not have to vote for Obama or McCain.  We can choose not to vote for either of them or we can vote for anyone else on the ballot.

When I told my Mom about this she said that I would be throwing away my vote if I didn’t vote for either one.  Well, imagine, what would it be like if McCain and Obama only received 2 votes each?  What would that be telling the politicians?  What would that be telling the world?  I guess you could say the silent majority has spoken.  Besides our votes actually don’t count anyway.  The Electoral College decides who becomes president.

Well, back to Kiyosaki.  He strongly feels that we each must take care of ourselves.  We must choose to be in control of our own lives.  We must take responsibility for our lives.  He also strongly recommends having your own business and he feels network marketing is the very best business model to follow.

So we have two main choices.  We can either buy into what the media is telling us and hope the government will somehow bail us out or we can decide to take responsibility for our lives and begin our own business.  There are no excuses for not starting your own business.  Whether you are old or young, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, there is a business you can successfully run.  You just need to find a way to add value to the lives of others and make money doing so.  It will take work and it may take time and it will require stepping out of your comfort zone.  But change we must if we want to come out of this depression standing on our own two feet.  Robert Kiyosaki said, “If you are not ahead of change, you become a victim of change.”  Another word for “change” can be “growth”

So we are not in the “End Times”.  We are in the “Time of Change”.
