Many of us tend to bite fingers, panic, specially when hearing outside information on the bad economic situation, perhaps fear the loss of a job, or business. The stress and panic create havoc. In this state of mind, nothing is simple, and clear. In fact everything one tries to do seems to be a failure.
It is when things seems the hardest that we must stay calm, relaxed and clear headed. Otherwise we will make too many mistakes, that may not be easy to correct once our head becomes clear again.
The stress becomes very intense close to Christmas, as we all want to make this Holiday so special for everyone round us. Often having limited financial resources we are hiding our head in the sand, only to purchase all those presents, so that we are not going to show our closest that we cannot really afford to do so. The fear factor is extremely powerful and can take our life over . In this current climate, more and more families are really struggling because they are afraid to admit that to their relatives and friends , and more so, to them selves that they are living above their means. Putting them selves into deep , deep hole, from which they may not be able to get out.
Yes , it is difficult, yet it is embarrassing, and yes, you stand to lose some of the people you are in close relation with, but hey! This is life and this is YOU!!! THERE IS NO ONE MORE IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE THAN YOUR SELF!! Yes, I can hear you screaming at me..... WHHHHAAAAAATT????
Yes, it is true. And yes, there are other people just as important as you: your partner, children, family, friends and so on. But, let`s look at this from a different prospective. Why it is that YOU are the most important person in your life.
Let us look at this from the Universal prospective, the Law of Attraction prospective and the nature. If you look deeper in to this, you will agree with what we are about to say. The best way , it will be to answer some questions for your selves. Such us:
1. Can I truly love someone if I do not love my self?
2. What about respect? Can I respect others without first giving respect to me?
3. Am I truthful to others if I cheat on my self?
4. Am I honest with my self if I lie to others?
We can go on and on asking these questions, and every time we give an answer, it will be , NO.
Today, many businesses are struggling for all the same reasons. Business owners get in to panic, and do all the wrong things. They are frightened to tell their partners that their life is not going to be on the same level as it was up to now. Perhaps , under the pressure they take up activities that they have never done before. Like coming home later than normally, drinking more than up to now. Becoming more stressed, nervous, they snap at partners, children and other people. The fear in side stops them thinking rationally and send them acting like never before. Why are we so afraid to tell people about our problems in business? It is because we are worried that we lose clients, or may be a referral source . But most commonly we are scared of having a row at home, particularly if our partner is not so understanding. What ever it is, we should NOT hide anything. When we are open, and honest with our selves, we will be same with others. And being so, we will always get help from people , more than we can imagine. Juts an quick example, taken from my own experience.
Back in 2006 I was a co owner of a quite successful business, that was my creation from start. My Business partner was only interested in the money we generated from the business. One day my business partner with the aid of her boyfriend took over our office ( it is a very long story, a material for a top Hollywood movie),denying me access to anything and everything bar the staff. Only my quick reaction and honesty with the clients has given me the way ahead. I was left with nothing, including no money. But I had my hard earned reputation with our clients , staff and eventually, in spite of a very big effort on the side of my former partner , all of the client base . In fact only thanks to all the staff and to each and every client I managed to retain the business and making it better and bigger.One of our clients had provided me with IT equipment, all customers were paying immediately so that I could sustain the cash flow and pay the staff. Would I be able to do it without honesty and openness? NO!
This was not enough though, to sustain the composure and clear head. As I was going through intimidation, various attacks on my person, and through a civil litigation that I had to lead by my self as I could not afford the rates of the legal profession. Fortunately I had been honest, so because of that I had all of the Judges on my side also. But it was then, through the toughest times, when I really needed a moral support from someone who knew what it is and how to handle me. I was given a contact to a Psychotronic Healer. A person who is now my best friend, had given me a life line support over the telephone for over 12 months, helping me not to go mad. Today, we help people in need through unconventional means. I also help people to grow business, using my experience in the field, but also the spiritual knowledge. That helps tremendously.
If you have any issues with your relationship, business or family. Do not hide, as it will not take the issues away, it will only make them more difficult as time goes by. Do not be afraid to seek help.
This economic situation is not making things easier for anyone, particularly for business, but to stay on top of the water, we all need to pull together and support each other in what ever way it is. Together we are stronger and can achieve much more.
