You stay because of the money or the fear that there's nothing better out there.* You're in a job where your boss ignores you, barks instructions and expects you to be a workaholic. But you stay because a new boss might be worse.* You're lazy.

Plus, you don't have a resume.* Or, you're unemployed and decide not to pursue a job that you heard about, or a field you are interested in, because one person said they were looking for experience you didn't have.

Business Ethics Roy?s presentation explained a phenomenon that happens every 40 years where folks? attitudes gradually shift over time in an opposite direction to that of the previous generation. He finished by predicting that in the next 2-3 years we?re going to see radical shifts in the way people buy and what they are influenced by.

Typically music precedes this social shift before the whole idea goes mainstream. If you think about it, looking at music and the arts is a reasonable indicator of what people think.

This nourishing has to happen in good times and in bad times.Rather than suspend your belief, suspend the value you place on what you see before you. If for example, you dream of making money in your own business but all you see around you is the harassment and poverty of your circumstances, choose to nourish the inner and take no value from the outer.What appears around you as lack is but the outcome of your past thoughts. Your current thoughts of belief in plenty are the ground on which you will form the architecture of your abundance. The emotions that you invest in your dreams are the rain that nourishes the see The shift starts with the arts Roy described how music and art is the first indication that ?times they are a changing?.
