Kiss of Truth

Unemployment rates in the nation are above 7.6%! That is the highest since the early 70’s. That means that nearly eight out of every 100 people are out of work. That is an astounding number! Each and every day there are more reports of layoffs from the biggest – and seemingly most secure and solid – companies in the United States. And the number of unemployed continues to grow at an alarming pace. And like all accidents and life-changing events, it is not real until it happens to you! It is unwise to believe a layoff cannot happen to you. Be prepared by being proactive in making yourself more valuable to your employer; consider these ten ways to increase the likelihood of keeping your job:

Personally, I have been laid off from my work, unemployment funds are running out and not sufficient to start with, my family is in danger of financial ruin and foreclosure, and my business plans (please see www.turrell-enterprises.com) seem to be without immediate possibility. Times are indeed difficult and stressful. Even so, I cannot quit or panic for too long. I must adjust my goals, keep researching and developing the pathway to those goals, take consistent daily actions, and work at remaining flexible. The sun eventually comes back out!

What was I going to do now? I was deeply disappointed and discouraged. But I also knew that successful people never give up!

Successful people are flexible! Successful people regroup, seek alternatives, and move positively forward. Successful people are tenacious. In fact, the only thing that successful people are not flexible about is giving up, giving in, or quitting!

I make no judgments; superstition is conceivably not a bad or good thing. I dunno. Well wait…I do make one assertion: if superstitious beliefs sabotage your life in some manner, or eliminate the possibility of being flexible, then that is a definite problem to be corrected. This is a part of mental preparation for success.

Most often when we elect the high road, we pay the price “upfront”, earning a return on the investment, whereas when we select the easy road we squander any return there might be and pay an eventual higher price. Flexibility means recognition of this reality and making the most useful and sensible choices based upon what will add balance to life.
