A few years back at the end of 2007 when the economy was headed into the toilet in a big hurry, I was running a business in the mall with my wife. Things just kept getting worse all year long , but we hung in there hoping that things would turn around and we could keep all the people we had working for us. Everyone at the mall kept telling us to wait till Christmas, you will make so much money then!
Christmas came and we went, very much in debt back to the real world. At this point I was trying to make a living and working in a job with an ever shrinking paycheck. I have to tell you it sucked. I really did stop living. I did this only inside but it shows up in your everyday life. You are simply existing at this point if you do that. I spend time with my wife and at the time infant daughter, but could not fully enjoy them as I was not engaged in my life. I was simply existing, going through the motions.
I had done this once before in the past, at that time I was much less caring of being alive. It happened many years ago when my younger sister was killed by someone breaking into the house. In fact at that point pretty much my entire family went into the withdraw from life mode. We went through the motions of living without getting any joy from life.
I have only just this past week realized what Happened to me, I was a zombie. Fit for a part in “The Walking Dead” or any similar show. I did not connect with my family. I did not go to the gym any longer, I no longer went on long bike rides. All of these are things I really enjoy.
I was trying to pay off my debts by living within my earnings, but my earnings have been shrinking for 5 years straight due to a wage freeze. That alone would have hurt but we also had to pay more for our benefits every year. That has led me to earning around $500 less per month in take home pay than I did at the start of the wage freeze. Plus I don’t need to tell you how much prices have risen in the past 5 years.
I finally realized that the only way out of my troubles is to earn more money! I am sure that many of you realize the same thing yourself.
But the main thing I wish to get across here is that you really need to get out and get reconnected with life again if you find yourself in this place. Talk to others, find a coach or mentor, tell your family how much they mean to you. There are a lot of resources out there to help you get out of your slump. Find one, use it and get your life back on track! You owe it to yourself and your family. I want you to have the best possible life you can get for yourself.
