Overcoming Adversity

Have you ever been completely kicked in the teeth?  Have you ever been fired, or laid off from your job?  Have you ever experienced a devastating loss of a friend.  An unexpected death or loss of the love of your life?

Sometimes we can find strength through adversity.  We all have experienced some devastating things in life.  That is just how life works.  How you deal with it is the key.  Sometimes these events come one at a time. Sometimes they come all at once.

I want to share with you a personal story that completely took the wind out of my sail.  I was down for the count for quite some time.  I could not eat.  I could not sleep.  I could not function.

I know that others have had far more serious events occur in their life.  I assure you I feel for you.  It never helps to hear from your friends and family, that

“Things happen for a reason.”  Or “You will find this as a blessing in the end.”

Your friends mean well, but sometimes there is nothing that anybody can say to help.

Finding Strength In Adversity

Like I said before, I know there are people out there who are much worse off.  I will tell you that recent events in my life, completely knocked me out of commission for several days.  Have you ever experienced that?

My recent personal story and what I did to dig myself out of that pit.  So what did I do?  After several days of not moving, not eating, not sleeping, and quite literally not functioning, I decided to focus on the one area in my life that I had control over.

So what happened?  I was a helicopter pilot by trade.  I guess I still am, but I am not currently employed.  I received a phone call from my company that would change the direction of my life.  Quite possibly the best thing that ever happened to me.  I was informed in this phone call that the company “No longer needed my services.”
Wow!!  Big shock, but I was not all that upset about it.  I knew this would be the kick in the pants to really get things going with my business.  I was also looking forward to working on my relationship.  Being away from your loved ones can really take a toll on any relationship.  You see, with my job I was away for two weeks a month.  I was in Arizona working for two weeks straight and home for two weeks straight.

I knew my business was going well…not quite to the point of retirement, but I knew this was a huge opportunity all the way around.  Within a couple of days, all hell broke loose in my life.  3 days later, I lost what I considered the love of my life.  This also meant I lost what I considered my home.  And the worst part of it is, this whole thing was entirely my fault.  I didn’t realize it at the time…but the way I was living my life pushed away those I cared about most.  It was only a matter of time.

So, as I said I was really looking forward to this opportunity.  Then the walls came crashing down.  No home, no income security from a job a really liked, and no more comfort and inspiration from the one person I looked to, to inspire me.  Like I said, I could not function.  If you know me, I am typically someone to look to for inspiration.   I Mr. Positive.  I always look at the opportunities, the possibilities, the lesson, in any adversity.

I shocked myself because I could not seem to look at anything in the world from the “glass is half full” department.

So onto the solution.  I finally picked myself up, dusted myself off, and decided to focus on the one thing I could control.  I needed a place to live.  Thankfully I have some support from family members who took me in temporarily, just until I could function again.

Staying with your parents at age 38 in a huge blow to your ego.  Not only could I not function, but I was out of my environment that I have worked so well in for quite some time.  I had screaming grandchildren, running all over.  There were toys everywhere.  No real privacy to do the things I needed to do to get myself back on my feet.  I know there are solutions out there, if you look for them, but I was not in the right mind frame at the time.

I smile now, because I know that I am back on track and things are/will be not only OK, but even better than ever.  I have decided that I am NOT ever going back to work for somebody else.  Watch this video.  I started focusing on the one thing that I can control and that is my destiny.

I know there are a lot of people out there suffering.  I feel for you.  I really do.  I also know that there are a lot of people out there taking charge of their own destiny so they don’t have to face the dreaded conversation of “We no longer need your services.”

I also know that it takes time to build a very successful long term business.  What is needed most is cash to fund your business and to invest in your future.  I want to share with you exactly how I pulled myself out of the biggest pit I’ve ever been in.  I started with the one thing that could really get my life back on track and that is income to survive.  Not only to thrive, but to survive.  When you are seeking solutions, they come at you like never before.

The rest of the stuff will work it self out eventually…but I had no choice but to take massive action, and this is exactly how I did it.  Check it out here.
