Don't Panic ... Just Think and Do Something Different
Hi Everyone,
Hear me out ... "we're gonna be okay." We absolutely need to join the revolution that says not to be consumed by the negativity and fear. I know it's hard, but you can do it ... and you want to do it. Your future depends on it.
Here's the deal. The economy is tough, we have a new President, the world is in a scary place, people are losing jobs, money is scarce, yada, yada, yada. We know all the bad news. Time to be cognizant, but not to succomb.
Baby boomers are strong, resilient and resourceful. We'll figure it out. I hate to say it, but money is not the most important thing in the world. Think about it ... what about health, children, friends, spouses or significant others (if you are lucky enough to have one), beauty, art, music, literature. there is so much more than just money. Yes, we need money. I haven't figured out how to pay my bills without it; however, when there's not enough, we figure it out. Can you hear a theme here: It's "figure it out."
The good news: You're not alone. We're all in this together ... everyone... in the whole friggin world is in this together. It's global.
New and innovative ideas are bursting forth exponentially. Cooperative living is coming back around. My back up plan: My sister and I and some friends all plan on living together and taking care of each other. We'll share expenses and be there for help and guidance and assistance. It'll work. Hey, it beats moving in with the kids. Unless, of course, my knight in shining armor shows up and whisks me away on his white horse and we're rich in the kingdom of plenty (I know ... I have a weird imagination.)
I strongly urge anyone reading this to be inventive. Start asking the question: What do I want to be different? Play with that question: What do I want to be different about my self, about my relationships, about my work situation. What can I DO differently that might impact myself of others in a new, improved way? Just talk this through with yourself or others ... have discussions. You'll be amazed at what will begin to come forth from your cobweb brains. Time to be ingenious and think out of the notorious box.
Lose your job? Great. Now what? What talents and interests do you have that other people need and how can you deliver it?
In my 6 STeps to ReInvent yourself, the third step is to Never, ever, ever, ever let anyone tell you what to do or not to do. Follow your own heart ... see what you have to offer and soar with it.
If this moves you.. then email me. I'm starting new ReInvention teleclasses and doing some in person.... it will help you figure it out.
I don't know about you, but when I try to figure something out on my own, I'm not nearly as effective as when I talk it out with others. The synergy of the conversation is much more productive.
So, get off your whiny horse, talk things out, think big and different and see what starts to emerge.
I'm here if you want me.
Have a great day.
Ann
