Ignore the Dow!

How many of us check to see what the Dow has done at the end of the day? Did you notice that the news made you feel either one way or another? Remember the multi day rally a week or two ago--didn't that feel good? Yet everytime there is a steep drop, boy do we feel bad. The steeper the drop--the worse we feel. Some of us may not even have any money in the market!

A recent article in New York Magazine discusses the connection of our sense of well being to the panicky twitches of a market indicator we can do nothing about. http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/52601/

This is an excellent read. Let's stop focusing on the doom and gloom. You get more of what you focus on. Let's focus on building prosperity and making the world better in the ways that we have control.
