What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?
Some people will never be happy with their lot.They will always be looking for the next best thing.
There is a difference between inventing,designing or discovering to make progress and the individual’s need to be recognised or rewarded.
Any economy that has been through a coming of age period where standards of living improve immensely after a period of disruption, maladministration and very often trauma.Suddenly finds itself with a needy grasping population who expect everything.
Lives and environments have been ruined in order that those in the future can live their lives with a standard of living that defies expectations and that perhaps the World as a whole will struggle to offer .
What is the best coffee to buy and where should we buy it from?Are the coffee bean farmers treated fairly are the beans roasted correctly so all their goodness survives and our coffee helps us live our best lives together.
Coffee is a good indicator of how needy our society has become.It isn’t an essential.
There isn’t a coffee shop called Coffee For Profit but there should be.
Everyone demands the right to pay over the odds to sit down and drink their beverage of choice whether it be in a famous big chain like Costa or Starbucks or a trendy Independent breaking the mould and offering the bestest healthiest beans that you saw advertised on the internet.
And a mention for the poor people who have to work and serve in these coffee profit centres mostly earning a minimum wage.Even the Independent owners probably aren’t making much anymore as everyone’s disposable income reduces and running cost rise
My negative thought is it’s all going to collapse,the right to have the freedom to choose your favourite coffee shop will have gone in ten years because no one will be able to afford to run them as the needy population will no longer be able to afford them.
The way I deal with this negative thought is to realise that circumstances change and there will be other alternatives for the population to mingle,to socialise and adapt.
From an overheated and strained economy there will be people who “make things better”.Who stop and think what do we really need.?
My coffee test applies to all consumption in all areas of life.You lose one choice and you look for a better one and there is a wealth of people who realise we must make better choices if we are to survive and thrive.
So,the negative outlook of restricted choice is overcome by the reality that the will to make things better is always there and even in adversity it will overcome.
