I’m forever going on about the way so-called “normal” people are mad and that it is up to each of us to “stop the madness”. Having recently spent a day chatting with a few long-standing personal development clients in relation to how quantum physics succinctly describes how our universe, our world and our little bit of it – our daily life – really works. What we put in – in energy – we get back out. If, like so-called normal people, you put almost nothing in (bear in mind that research estimates that the normal person only puts 1% of their mental energy into the here and now), you shouldn’t be surprised if you, as a normal person, get precious little in return.

Energy is only present – so, worrying about the future of dwelling on the past has no effect on energy. The only time that the universe exists is now. That means that you can only invest your mental energy in the here and now, if you focus your mind or take control of your current state of mind. And you can only take control of your present state of mind if you’re up to taking responsibility for yourself. And, for some, that’s a bridge too far. It appears to me that most people are not big enough for that task.

All you have to do is listen to the politicians hold forth on the ongoing need to “rescue” the economy from the disaster that has befallen it. What they’re saying is “Hey, it’s not our fault, it’s the fault of an unprecedented ‘fracture in the international financial system’” – that’s real quote, by the way – as if the financial system had a mind and will of its own! And, then, spare a thought for the poor bankers, who won’t own up to their part in all this mess either. A few (only a few) bankers have actually apologised for the mess – though they’re not sorry enough to return their large salaries, bonuses, pension top-ups or golden handshakes. But almost all the bankers that I’ve listened to have blamed the catastrophe that has befallen their noble institutions… on the credit crunch.

Quick question: Is the “fracture in the financial system” some self-created beast in which no one had a hand, act or part? Is the “credit crunch” some monster from the deep with a mind of its own that reared its ugly head to consume all right-thinking bankers (and everyone else with them)? Is no one to blame? Will nobody take responsibility? We expect our children to own up to breaking a glass or having a few beers – but these so-called adults don’t really lead by example, do they?

And are you responsible? Are the things that have happened you someone else’s fault? Sure, stuff happens – often it’s outside of our control – but we can control how we react or, more to the point, act when stuff happens. Time to grow up. Time to be responsible for yourself – for your mind. If you don’t universal energy will give you precious little in return (I’ve had to edit what I really wanted to say or no one would publish this post!) well, pretty much nothing, for your “efforts” – you’ll have got what you deserved. What goes around, comes around – it’s the Law of Attraction, it’s how the energy that is our universe works.
