Worried about losing your home or your car? Are you in jeopardy of losing your job? Is the economy running you through the proverbial ringer? If you’ve lost your job, do you feel like you will never get another one? Has the loss of your job affected your marriage and relationships?
The economy is down and then we hear that things are turning around, but for many of us, we do not see it. Fuel and food prices are still high! We want to buy nourishing food, but all we can afford is the cheaper cuts of meat and canned vegetables. Life for many of us is a struggle. I hear so many people talk about how hopeless they feel.
It is incredible to me how much time and energy we spend fretting and worrying about things we cannot control. The result is sleeplessness, anxiety, and overwhelming fear.
I know you don’t believe it now, but THIS TOO SHALL PASS! It will not always be this way. Many of the people who went through the Great Depression and the Great Recession of the early 70’s also experienced tremendous financial loss. But, you know what? It Passed!
The key to making it through these tough and trying times is staying focused on the fact that things will get better. Armed with a positive attitude and laser- like focus on uncovering new opportunities, you can make it through this dark tunnel. There is a light at the end.
Until then, take time to enjoy the simple things in life, like a cup of your favorite beverage, a book, or visiting family and friends. I know this may sound overly simplified, but there are so many of us who, because of circumstances, forget to take the time to remember . . . THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
