Ever found yourself in a mess? Wrong choices,
bad friends, lack of information? Ever been in a wrong relationship? Have you
ever been in debt? Down on your luck and it seems you are destined for worse
stuff?
Well, I wanna assure you that there is always
a way out. I am not talking Houdini, David Copperfield or Professor Peller. No
matter how hard pressed you are, there is always a way of escape.
These Five points might be of good help to you.
Be Calm: When you
find yourself in any messy situation, you need to be calm. Do not press the
panic button. Lindsay Holmes wrote in the Huffington post about “7 things calm
people do differently”, her first point is that they focus. Being calm helps
you to focus on the situation. What got you there and how to get out? You must
learn to be calm. When everyone is losing it, you have to be able to keep
yourself especially emotionally.
Pray: I have
deliberately put calmness before Prayer because you are able to pray better
with a clear understanding of what the challenges are. Why Prayer? Why not
Prayer? Prayers could be for God to forgive you and to have Mercy. You then
pray for God to give a way out. God is able to make way out of the Wilderness.
He is able to cause Strength to come to you to help.
Think: As God gives
you the inspiration, put your mind
to work. Take a good look at the challenges and as you think, you start to see the
issues differently. Where it seems there was no solution, you start to get
ideas about how to go about getting out of the mess. The reason you got into
the problem in the first place could be because you refused to think deeply or
holistically about it. Think and meditate over the whole issues, most times,
deep inside of us, we have a solution from within the problem itself. There is
always a way out.
Speak Out: Someone,
somewhere and at a certain point in their lives have been where you are
presently. They have tested the waters; they have paid their dues and are at a
place where their experience can make the difference. Especially for those who
have made business errors, look for a mentor, and get tutelage you do not
necessarily have to experience the same failures others have experienced. You can
learn from Information and Instruction.
Stay Out: When
eventually, you get out of the mess, please do stay out. Learn from your
mistakes and try very hard not to fall into situation again. Stay grounded and
seek to be better at whatever you do.
We all fall at some time but we have what it
takes to get up and keep going.
Have Fun…
