When my wife got home, she told me that she had had a meeting with her new boss. She said that she might be in danger of losing the job she just got because they don’t think she’s picking it up fast enough. She also said that the boss had slowly walked her through what she is supposed to do, and she’d gotten it, so this may be nothing.
Before, I’d have had at least a little time feeling seriously stressed out and envisioning a major disaster where we lose everything. Not this time though. My first thought when I heard this was that if it happens I will find a way through, and I’m quite confident that I would.
That lead me to think about how much stronger I am now than I was a year and a half ago when our financial troubles started and I started getting us out of it. Things have tried to go all the way south on us so many times during that period that I’ve lost count. The thing I realized is that I always found a way to salvage the situation. That is both before and especially after I started USLM. I was extremely frustrated that I seem to be stuck in survival mode and responding to crisis after crisis. Now I realize that that’s really driven me to level up as a person, and in a way I’m greatful for that. If this happens it happens (dear universe, I would greatly prefer that things went smoothly) and I’ll succeed through it. I am a badass solution finder.
I also know that soon the treading water and struggling to avoid sinking phase will be over, and I can use that strength (and the USLM luck) to move life forward in big ways.
Did I mention that I noticed that my attitude is a tad more positive? ?
