Today, you got your pink slip and told that your services are no longer needed.  You put your all into this position and this job was a blessing because you were out of work for two years.  So many things had to be put on the back burner because you had to travel an hour and a half to work because there were not positions located locally.

 To start your job, you had to use your credit cards because you had to charge one thousand dollars to get your professional attire together to start this job, and you needed money to commute.  A lot of money was spent out before you started working and this created debt that you couldn't escape.

During your time of unemployment, you struggled with depression and no one knew what you were dealing with because you tried your best to not wear your problems on your sleeve. A lot of people thought you were doing well financially because you kept yourself well-groomed while going through the process of financial disaster.

You had contemplated suicide if things did not get any better.  The main thing that you didn't want, was your family to see you as a loser.

What I want you to know, many of us have dealt with financial ruin even me.
I had to leave an abusive relationship many years ago and I had student loan debt.  Yes, I was embarrassed because I felt like a failure, it was so hard to recover as I had a very small child.

Below, you will see my video regarding this.



It was a day-by-day struggle to make ends meet and yes, I dealt with depression, but as 
I look back I can see that this struggle made me stronger because it gave me the tools that 
I needed to make it through.

I am only telling you this because you lost your job which is a very serious thing but keep pressing on
because God will definitely make a way.  When you are dealing with financial issues, the only way is to go up and you have learned the lessons to keep you from experiencing this ever again.

There will be another job because you have the experience under your belt and hopefully you can find a way not to depend on credit cards because they are " the devil.'

Clue your family members about what you are going through financially, they may even be willing 
to help you, if not financial, maybe lead you to a new job.

Stop being embarrassed about things that are beyond your control.

  • Take any help offered to you.  There are many agencies who are willing to help you, you just have to seek them out, some even provide services to help you get back to work.
  • Do not wear your clothes around the house that you use for work.  Wear Jeans or sweats and this will prevent you from wearing out or damaging your good clothes.
  • Go to the Library and read a lot of books regarding making an impressive resume or books that will teach you skills to make you more employable and attend free workshops.
  • Venture out of your area and out of your comfort zone because sometimes the people who you may think are at the lowest part of the totem pole will be the ones who can tell you where to get free training or free food.
  • Goodwill, Salvation Army, and The United Way are some places that you can call to see if they know or provide job training or job placement and if they don't they may know who you can call.
  • Pray and ask God to be your provider and he will.

    I hope all these tips are helpful and if you know of any more tips that will be helpful to someone who is seeking a job, please feel free to leave them in the comment section.

You Are Terrified Of Being Successful And You Are Stifling Yourself

You are terrified of being successful and you are stifling yourself.

Hello, everyone, I decided to do this post because I have been in this situation myself.  Sometimes you are presented with opportunities and because they are new, or foreign, you are completely terrified.

Whether it is a new job or a new move, you can be so scared of the unknown and you will start to talk yourself out of being successful.

There are many instances where this occurs and I have seen people who want to move out of a bad environment and when they make the move, they are still unsatisfied, why? because they are scared that things may actually go their way in a more positive direction.

I am sure many of you have seen people who have been in bad relationships and finally find a good one will do everything in their power to ruin or get out of a good relationship because they are programmed for failure.

We can want to make changes but if we don't push forward in spite of adversity we may never get to the place where we want to be in life.

Life is hard, very hard, and if you continue to sit on your hands or make excuses, you will be stuck and stifled because of your decisions.

I have some projects in the works right now and I am frankly scared to death, scared of not making it but also scared of all the work that will have to go into making this project work to my satisfaction.

Nothing in life comes easy so I will say that you should try anyhow because if not you will never know and you will have regrets.
