Mauro Libi Crestani: “Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength.”, quote by Corrie Ten Boom.

By Mauro Libi Crestani. Corrie and her family  accomplished more than most. They were Dutch and when the Nazi’s took over their country during World War II, they built a safe house to hide Jews and to save whom they could.   On February 28 1944, the nazis raided their house and arrested the entire Ten Boom family. They were first sent to prison and then to a concentration camp.  Corrie’s mom told her to instill a positive attitude within her to survive the camp, “There is no pit so deep, that he is not deeper still”. The family were strong believers in God, but the message was clear. There is no prison and situation so bad that they are not stronger than. Corrie was released from the camp ten months later by a clerical error. She was left penny less, yet her attitude was one of hope….

”God does not have problems for me – only plans.”.

After the war, she set up a rehab center in the Netherlands. She travelled the world as a public speaker, appearing in more than 60 countries. During this time, she wrote many books, several which became films.

She was to receive many awards for her heroic deeds. She was also knighted by the Queen in honor of her work during the war. In Harlem a museum is named after her. There is also a woman’s college in NYC names after her.

Anna Frank was also from the Netherlands during World War II. She was jewish and had to go into hiding when she was just 9 years old. Her end came a few years later when she was killed in a concentration camp. Each and everyday she had to keep hidden in a small room. She was never allowed to have friends or go outside, at any moment she could have been found and killed. How did a girl her age mentally survive all that time in hiding? She keep a diary and believe it or not, she keep hope alive with her positive attitude. 

“The great news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” 

Hopefully none of us will every have to be in such circumstances as Anna Frank . If you read her diary, you will see just how a positive attitude can help one through the worst of times and circumstance. In normal everyday life, a positive attitude could bring one to their full potential. It is only when they give up that all is lost. By Mauro Libi Crestani.

Mauro Libi Crestani: ¿ Positive depressión ?

By Mauro Libi Crestani- "I only know that summer sang in me a little while, that in me sings no more." That excerpt from one of her sonnets expresses how much poet Edna St. Vincent Millay  probably knew of depression.

Psychiatrist Kay Redfield Jamison, herself a person with bipolar disorder or manic depression, notes in her book ‘Touched with Fire’  that the majority of people suffering from mood disorder "do not possess extraordinary imagination, and most accomplished artists do not suffer from recurring mood swings."

She writes, "To assume, then, that such diseases usually promote artistic talent wrongly reinforces simplistic notions of the 'mad genius.' But, it seems that these diseases can sometimes enhance or otherwise contribute to creativity in some people. Biographical studies of earlier generations of artists and writers also show consistently high rates of suicide, depression and manic-depression."

In simple terms, there may be some poets, some writers and other great genius who are very depressed and can still be creative. President Abraham Lincoln was such a person. He had bouts of manic depression and he was very creative in his speeches, in his thinking. But the fact is that some people can still remain positive despite having depression. They are the exceptions. Abraham Lincoln was such an exception.  Besides, their quality of life very poor. Even the ones who are depressed that can still maintain creativity , they do not know how to enjoy life.

Being successful in your career is of no value if you can not enjoy life. But like I said, most people with depression lose their creativity. Marie osmond sumed it up best, "I'm collapsed in a pile of shoes on my closet floor. I have no memory of what it feels like to be happy. I sit with my knees pulled up to my chest. It's not that I want to be still. I am numb." This is what depression usually does. It takes away your ability to be of any value business wise, family wise and to have a personal life. Doctors think the combination of short-term treatment with medications plus the long-term use of positive thinking  might reduce depressive symptoms.  Mauro LibiCrestani.

“Brain scans have shown that positive thinking stimulates the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which regulates the relationship between mood and thought.. A positive mental attitude may also influence the brain’s reward system, which involves the chemical dopamine, helping to restore a sense of pleasure that’s often lost with depression” ,Dr. Doraiswamy says.

Mauro Libi: Is it possible to grow in times of crisis?

To the question it is possible to grow in times of crisis, my answer is always yes. Yes, you can grow and make money in bad times but for that to happen we must bear in mind that the crisis will not disappear because people want to.  Economic  crises are cycles and as such require that you change certain factors.

The first thing to do is take the crisis as a collective responsibility, and not a single sector. The crisis is a result of economic behavior of societies and in which everyone has responsibility to a lesser or greater extent. Many believe that spending money will further aggravate the crisis, but the truth is that this is not true. The solution to the crisis is not to keep the money in savings and to avoid spending money during the bad economic times. This will stagnate growth of the company because the money kept in an account is useless. The money has to be invested to make more, to get the economy moving. We must be conscious and intelligent when it comes to moving money but never let it sit.

There are many professionals who decide to invest in training in times of crisis so that it returns to profit.

It is also advisable to innovate. Putting creativity to work, we must renew the way of thinking and acting, the changes are everyday, and what worked yesterday does not work today. I recommend to be aware of what is happening in society and adapt to changes optimistically.

Your attitude is the engine that drives us. Think positive, losing fears and learn from each failure. Be proactive, do not keep looking at the crisis in the country and do not believe that everything will change for the overnight as if by magic.

Ubícate acts, if you do not know where to start, read, see, for your economic future depends on your own ability, not the government or economic factors in society.

The crisis does not end with tears, complaints or contemplation to action but with human beings doing hard work and using their intelligence.
