Sorry to hear that you received the inevitable by mail. However, just knowing bad things are coming and expecting them doesn't lessen the impact or the hurt when they finally do.
I agree with Jeff223,
Quote:
...set some goals. Small ones at first, but goals nevertheless. Accomplishment does not define us as men; failure to act does.
His advice to you applies to me as well.
As we discussed recently, positive movement for ourselves in our situations in 2009 are our goals. Neither of us knows what exactly that is going to look like, but neither of us wants to start 2010 in the same place.
For myself, I am finalizing my TOP 5 ACTION goals for 2009, and these TOP 5 will be my guiding light as to whether I am spending my most precious and NON-renewable resource, TIME, on my TOP 5 ACTION goals. This list will help to keep me focused on MY priorities and give me the 'kick in the pants' that only I can give myself. Having a TOP 5 will will never change, but the content of that TOP 5 will change as I complete one (or more) and add others.
Echoing Jeff223- Strength and honor.
