You know what I mean, don’t you.
When all of the things are happening to you.
When you never seem to be able to catch a break.
When it seems that everything that could possibly go wrong, does.
You try to move forward, be positive, but then all this stuff happens that challenges you, drags you back, & you feel like you just can't get ahead.
And that was how I lived all my life.
Right now, I am being challenged (it’s legal stuff), & it seems SO unfair.
And if these challenges had happened to me just a few years ago, I would have been a soggy mess in a corner, or worse, because then I didn’t have the resilience or mindset or strategies or emotional maturity to cope.
For a single woman like me, in her mid sixties, to be faced with losing such a large proportion of her wealth at this time of life – well, it would be a disaster.
I am not alone here. This is a thing for many of us at this time of life, through divorce, bad investments, scams etc., where we lose our wealth, our sense of safety.
For those who the traditional route of going to school, getting a job, saving for retirement etc., & then facing the prospect of losing so much without strategies to recover - it would be a disaster.
And it would have been a disaster for me too.
But not now, because over just the last couple of years, with the shifts I have made in my mindset, I have become so resilient, so strong, & have developed the capacity to cope.
Before, I would have chosen to look at these challenges as things that were happening TO me; now I see them as gifts they are that are happening FOR me.
This is a massive shift.
I now have freedom to be able to make my own choices and create my own reality, to choose to RESPOND to events, rather than be blown like a leaf in the wind & REACT to them.
I'm not saying it’s fun, & it’s not easy, managing my emotions, shifting my belief system, & changing what I make things mean, but however my legal issues turn out, I will come out of this stronger, & more powerful, and this just blows my mind because it wasn’t me before & the shift has happened so quickly.
I HAVE to share this. Because with these shifts, reframes, changes in perspective & attitudes, plus real-world strategies & how-to’s, others can discover their own personal power & freedom too.
And this is WHY I speak – because life is for living, not enduring!!
