Today it is snowing again and we are expecting another foot
of snow on top of what has already been a record breaking year for
snow. Sometimes the winter feels soooooooo long.
Today I talked to the President of a client company. For them, business
is down over 40%. I have talked to business leaders that are down
as much as 60%. Sometimes I worry about business.
Today, the talking heads are uncovering some less than inspiring
facts about the Stimulus package. Sometimes I worry about the economy.
Sometimes I worry about our savings and our 401ks. Sometimes our
government causes me concern. Sometimes I worry for and about our
kids.
Do you ever get down and have negative thoughts?
When we think: "It's impossible."
Remember: "All things are possible." (Luke 18:27)
When we think: "I'm too tired."
Remember: "I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28-30)
When we think: "Nobody really loves me."
Remember: "I love you." (John 3:16,John 13:34)
When we think: "I can't go on."
Remember: "My grace is sufficient." (II Cor. 12:9, Psalm
91:15)
When we think: "I can't figure things out."
Remember: "I will direct your steps." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
When we think: "I can't do it."
Remember: "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens
you."
(Phil 4:13)
When we think: "It's not worth it."
Remember: "It will be worth it." (Romans 8:28)
When we think: "I can't forgive myself."
Remember: "I forgive you." (I John 1:9 Romans 8:1)
When we think: "I can't manage."
Remember: "I will supply all your needs." (Phil. 4:19)
When we think: "I'm afraid."
Remember: "I have not given you the spirit of fear." (II
Tim. 1:7)
When we think: "I'm always worried and frustrated."
Remember: "Cast all your cares on ME." (I Peter 5:7)
When we think: "I don't have enough faith."
Remember: "I've given everyone a measure of faith." (Romans
12:3)
When we think: "I'm not smart enough."
Remember: "I give you wisdom." (I Cor. 1:30)
When we think: "I feel all alone."
Remember: "I will never leave you or forsake you." (Heb.
13:5)
As I put this together, several thoughts crossed my mind.
First, We are obviously not the first people in the world to think
negative thoughts.
Next, Somehow knowing that others have gone through these negative
thoughts helps.
Third, We are connected with others who have been through this via
our beliefs, through universal consciousness, through quantum physics,
through the zero point field and who knows how many other ways.
Next, Nothing is permanent, everything changes and this too will
pass.
Finally, We are survivors and we will get through this. Spring will
come again.
Manufacturing and Marketing Leaders up to $100 million in size who
believe that business is good because it provides valuable products
and services to customers, job security to employees and a return
on investment to the owners.
Motivated leaders who want to enhance performance and profitability
in their organization.
Leaders who treasure the value of a knowledgeable professional.
Leaders who want their business to survive and prosper.
Leaders willing to invest in their people for the long term.
Leaders willing to build relationships that foster mutual trust and
respect.
Leaders with a high follow-through on advice.
Leaders looking for the best value rather than shopping for the lowest
cost.
Leaders guided by an ethical approach to business and want help and
support that is congruent and comfortable with their beliefs.
If these describe you, let's talk. Call me toll free at.
