Worry Is A Bad Investment

Americans are currently drowning in a sea of debt--experts warn that increasing personal debt among U.S. consumers poses a severe threat to the nation's economy. Not only that, money troubles are the most common cause of divorce in America.

American consumer debt is larger than the gross domestic product of some foreign countries.

Money--too little of it, how to invest it, how to manage daily expenses for long-term goals like college education, retirement and critical health care coverage--even forking out the cash for the week's grocery shopping--can be a significant source of stress in life. We live in a culture of consumption, yet in this time of economic uncertainty many Americans are unsure of their future.

Viewing the above, it is not surprising that anxiety is on the rise. "People that let fear and anxiety take control of their lives are excluded from any possibility of success," says Grant Cardone, an internationally known speaker on success. "We may be in an economic downturn, but this is not the time to cave into unreal fears and anxieties."

"When you can control your mind, you can control all the results in your life. When people get correct information on how the mind operates they can create as much financial, physical and emotional success as they desire."

Cardone has made a study of how successful people operate. He studied how they think, what they do and what their beliefs are as well as what they have in common. Grant asked himself why one person with all the elements needed for success can fail, yet others with only a bright idea can make millions of dollars, despite bad economic conditions.

"It really is all about your mind," says Cardone. "All highly successful people talk about the mind being in control. I have read hundreds of books on the subject of success," continues Cardone. "The most important book I read was Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard, because it explains how past negativity and painful incidents influence our attitudes, behavior and thinking."

According to Dianetics practitioners, the reasons behind those things that hold you back, the feelings that you just can't shake and the mistakes that you can't help but make again and again can be discovered and addressed through the use of Dianetics technology, thus freeing up your ability to act solely in the here and now, free from the chains of stress.

Worry is one of the worst investments you can make. Becoming pro-active will help lessen your stress level and increase your success potential. America needs to rebuild a strong economy with families who have financial stability and the first step in doing this is for Americans to understand themselves and how to succeed.
