If There Hadnt Been You

So, that will probably happen. Very warm and close to the heart topic. I am in a very similar situation right now where things are not going the way I want them to. Yet, we all know the saying: Key word here to me seems to be awareness. Many people fail day in and day out, but yet they fail to accept the responsibility for failure themselves and they keep on failing the environment, the boss, the economy. Sometimes it requires real courage to take responsibility, because, just like you mention in the article — there is nobody left to blame. I am always pleased to read a great and refreshing article about a conventional situation.

I love being surrounded by a crowd that loves to grow and prosper in the times of uncertainty! I just wanted to follow-up on my comment earlier and say that this post actually gave me the push I need to start writing an ebook. Thank you Chris, this is a profound post. Foxie, in my experience, when people are unhappy in a situation, their subconscious finds a way to sabotage it. Could be what you need, but when you actually find yourself getting closer each and every day, it makes all the difference in the world.

To some degree this is the basis for the eastern practice of contemplation. Maybe these events do not seem productive in the short term, they could even be dramatic, but as Chris mentioned in this post, they could be the start of a more fulfilling life. A crisis is often a fertil grown for reflexion and renewed action.

In my work, I try to instill the desire for constant reinvention to keep those spiritual muscles flexible and able to overcome the many changes that we are all subject to through out life. Reinvention implies PLAY to discover our potential and realize it. When we stop playing, we stop learning. Are you still playing? Articles about people making the best of bad situations are so inspiring.

However, my situation is not bad, but I still want to make the jump. Hopefully, it can be a willing decision. Life is better, but it took RSI to force me to change. The savings I put away while working in IT turned out to be vital in supporting me while I retrained.

When I started work I was encouraged to find employment with a big company — a job for life.

Disaster or so I thought ; I was hoping to carry on working for this company on a part-time basis. The pay was good, the hours were good but the job was gone. Now I realise it was the best thing to happen to me.

I had another child, went to university and now have my own business. I am happier in my working life more than at any other time. People hard wired to want comfort and security.

It takes acting consciously and overriding our natural inclination… The first step always being the hardest. Great article and post, Chris. This article represents the wisdom of the ages, and my wife and I can relate totally. A few years ago my wife left a job she hated. Actually, it was sort of push-pull. Her regular paycheck, unfortunately, had allowed me to be a slacker. I had a good idea but had sat on it.

Amen to that brother. More illusion then security. As it was stated up above, To get what you have never had you must do what you have never done. I have this quote littered around my house. It is a helpful reminder. I also have a quote from you on my laptop. I really loved this post Chris. This eventually lead to my personal freedom in many many different ways.

It made me take a big leap into the unknown where I simply had to rely on myself and my abilities…and it worked. This is a tangent but related. He interviewed two people whose benefits has run out and they started out in low-pay service sector but found a way to create themselves a new life further up the food chain. One had to move a long distance and her family was taking care of her daughter and keeping her in her school for the year until she saved enough to get them settled in her new location.

I found this article so compelling — I have been laid off for 2 years, right after a traumatic brain injury.

I have been spending my time recovering, doing brain therapy, listening to Abraham-Hicks and doing focus wheels, vision boards, deliberate intent. Just yesterday I was looking at what a bankruptcy would mean to me and my finances when this article came through.

But it is time to pick something, and just go. Chris, thanks for posting that story from USA Today! We all hear the whining, moaning and excuses from people all the time. I believe in this wholeheartedly. I have always had a strong faith and have known that no matter what my path was divinely paved. If a door closed, there had to be a reason and there was something better in store.

We have to live it and accept the challenges that come. When we resist change, we miss the blessing or opportunity that is to follow. I completely digg the positivity here. Life turn out best for the people who make the best of the way life turns out. It has been said that when you find work that you love the rest will come.

I worked as a Firefighter for 29 years and retired due to health. Now as I search for the second career I love the inspiration I get from the blog and all the comments every one contributes. Thanks and to all a great week. Journal says anyone finding a job can expect to be let go again in 3 years.

He decided to begin his own biz. Has it been easy no. Has it been challenging yes. All of course coming out of fear. Fear of the unknown etc. This teaches on to be open and live in the moment more. Who knows what life will bring anyone? Life can change in an instant…good or bad. The recession happened from fluctuations in confidence! Recessions are manmade and as long as people have such low confidence in the marketplace, it will continue to be a problem.

Instead of blaming everything on the economy, make better decisions! Blaming it on the economy seems, to me, like a cop-out from investigating our own actions …. Yeah, many times adversity pushes people to do the things they could have done all along if they had only known it. I am so glad that I found this article.

Being laid off from a job that I was growing very restless with has actually been one of the best things that has happened. I am much more focused about what it is I want to do and am seriously working on redesigning and refining my new life. I once told my tween daughters: Would you rather be the person standing next to it with a clipboard weighing risks and thinking about physics — or the person riding it first with your hands in the air screaming the whole way?

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour.
