National Economy vs. 'Personal Economy'

Blog quote #1303... 

"There's not a lot you can do about the national economy, but there is a lot you can do about your personal economy." -Zig Ziglar-

Very wise statement here by Double Z. We really have no control when the economy  goes bonkers in a good or adverse way. But we have direct control--over our efforts and how hard we want to make things happen in our own little section (Perhaps if everyone  took this to heart, it could positively affect the national economy.)

Point being- we have more control than we can imagine over our own boredom or busy-ness. And quite frequently, when the economy gets challenged, certain harder working people actually do better in those times. Hmm....  

That's my view...what say you?
