This may sound corny. but...I subscribe to Rev Run's Daily Words of Wisdom (WHAT!? Say something!) Seriously though, I enjoy them -- I find his 'words of wisdom' to be very thought-provoking and meaningful, most of which I've even applied to my own life --and believe me, they've been helpful. Today I want to share an small excerpt from one of his "words" that I received earlier this week:

Money is at it's best when it's moving.... Not accumulating.... That is why it's called currency... It's supposed to flow in currents..... A wise man once said... “Rich people are not ALWAYS happy people..

How timely: How true is that right now, in America? -- money is supposed to flow...not STACK! Everybody talks about "saving money for a rainy day", but right now in America we are exeperiencing a monsoon and no one is spending! Saving now means nothing if you're not going to spend later: These big-time execs with their insatiable, voracious, money-hungry nature have sucked the economy dry, and furthermore, we on the ground level of this economy have ceased spending altogether: we've practically dammed up our own economy. There's no cash flow! I understand people having their trepidations with the economy, but the money has to go back in order for it to come out. Hoarding it up is only going to prolong our state and belabor the recuperation of our own, once copious, American Econ-river. I'll admit it: Fat Joe was right: we need to 'make it rain'.
