Do you remember those old western movies where the town was being harassed by the bad guys and they were depending upon the hero to save the day. The hero is supposed to come riding in at the last moment, kick ass, and save day? Well, we are not in that movie!!!
Don't kill the messenger but there is no hero coming in this story. In fact, YOU ARE THE HERO, in this story. So pick up whatever pick-axe, shovel, gun, stick, or anything you can find and start fighting. Not literally of course. But you, me, we, need to dust off our jeans, pick our selves back up and make it happen.
If you are like me you work on commissions then you know those times when the checks don't always coming "riding into town". Or perhaps you just got laid off? Whatever it may be.
If this is your situation you might want to consider getting a second or even a third job if you need to. I know you most likely don't want to hear this... but if the bills are piling up you have to do something, and the sooner you realize that there is no hero coming... the sooner you will realize you have to do whatever it takes, to make things work.
Personally, I don't think the economy is going to pick up anytime soon and I certainly don't think the past or current government will make any kind of difference to the situation. It is up to you to make it work. You can do this but it is not going to be easy.
So if getting a part-time job at night, late afternoons, or the weekends is what it takes... then I would suggest doing that. Yes, it sucks. But the hero is not coming and we need to turn this fight around.
And for that other guy who looks like he is kicking butt??? Maybe not? Personally I think we are playing the hugest game of liars poker.... stay tune for The Big Bluff.
Keep fighting and don't give up!
A book that has been out there for a while but can be wonderful source of inspiration is "Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.
ReplyDeleteThis book is great for getting yourself to "make it happen" and has a neat way of reminding yourself every single day that you can do it!
I was able to pick the book up at Borders for only $7.99! Not bad for $8.00 bucks!
Please see my other articles written - for more inspiration and making things happen - Thanks!
