We have seen the economy change and people’s careers shift. We all know someone whose life has changed due to an injury or accident or whose situation has changed due to a divorce, marriage or the needs of extended family.
Life can be unpredictable, and we tend to worry about the future. What would happen if…?
The thing that can never be taken from you – is you. You have the ability to create a life that is comfortable for your family because you are resourceful and have certain skills. Invest in yourself. The ability to provide a safe and comfortable living environment for your family is an important piece of confidence.
We should always have a plan B. “If all else fails, I can…” What can you do? What are the skills and strengths that you have that you can utilize to provide for the needs of your family?
The world does change, and our ideas have to change with it. We have the ability to create income based on our strengths and our talents. We can learn new skills, but we have to be open to possibilities. Take inventory of what your plan B is. Consider what you will do if your current income disappears. I think you’ll find that you’re more nimble and creative than you ever imagined if you let yourself be!
Confidence comes from knowing that you and your family will be okay. You have the resources to provide for your family.
I think this is the right idea, but sometimes people use Plan B to not fully go after Plan A, knowing they can always fall back.
This is what I’ve been trying to to for quite a long time. The not knowing if this is the best course of action to take or if taking the job right now to open doors for my career of my future is the best step to take to take care of my three daughters. You are absolutely correct Chalene when you say that many of us have suffered many disadvantages but I also see that these misfortunes can create great fortune for me and my daughters.
Thank you
That’s actually my push goal for this year. I really want to increase my income in order to pay off debts, and this will be done by starting my own business. For now it would be a free time thing, but later I’m hoping I’ll be able to dedicate to it fully. Thank you Chalene you trully are my inspiration! Greetings from Costa Rica!
