Market Health Depends on How We Look at It

Let’s see how many adjectives we can think of to describe what many people feel is a less than robust market – down, horrible, bad, mess, stubborn, critical, crisis, tough, recession, tanked, burst bubble, worst ever, catastrophe, difficult, disaster, calamity, debacle, chaos, and obstinate. There may be others, but let’s not try too hard to think of anymore of them.

Then let’s resolve ourselves to stop using those terms to refer to our local market and national economy and to begin using more positive words, phrases, and adjectives to talk about it.

Even if our local markets have been challenging, they are, or soon will be, improving, getting stronger, and recovering.

It’s a two-part process that begins with us and then extends to others that we have the ability to influence in our actions and attitude.
