Have you ever felt backed into a corner and had no idea what to do? I know
many of us feel that way, especially when dealing with finances. Believe it or
not, it is sometimes the best position to be in to become stronger. I am
reading “The 48 Laws of Power” and in the preface, it shares, that when
you are faced with situations like financial issues, health problems, or whatever
it may, “For the future, The motto is, “No days unalert.” Nothing should catch you by surprise because you are constantly imagining problems before they arise. Instead of spending your time dreaming of your plan’s happy ending, you must work on calculating every possible permutation and pitfall that might emerge from it. The further you see, the more steps ahead you plan, and the more powerful you become.”

They go on to say, “You begin by examining the mistakes you have made in the past, especially the ones that have most grievously held you back. You analyze them. Extract from them a lesson and an oath. For example, “I shall never repeat such a mistake; I shall never fall into such a trap again. If you can evaluate and observe yourself in this way, you can learn to break the patterns of the past” (The 48 Laws of Power, Robert Greene, A Joost Elferst Book, 2000).

This is my take this week, and hope this helps!

Thank you for reading and sharing with your family and friends! 😊
