"CUT THE UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK"

It's rare that you don't hear "times are tough" these days when having conversation with friends or family or even when your a passer-by of 2 people having conversation. This is no optical illusion just tune into your television at 6 everyday and see the news reports of another job cut at some company who has probably employed people for well over 15 years of tenure. My entire adulthood life i have been employed and never thought about if i lose my job that i would not be able to find another. That is until, well....i think you can finish what i was about to say. Close your eyes and catch a glimpse of how household after household is burdened by a mother or a father who has just lost their job. Or even worst a SINGLE parent home. How devasting can that be? Can you imagine how horrible it must feel to a person when your employer comes to you and relays information that your time has come to pass and we have to let you go? How does one prepare for those kind of events knowing that you never had the time to rehearse nor practice and the director grabs the take clipboard runs in front of the camera and yells, "CUT". What is lost at the moment? Feelings of security, sights of hope, sense of dispostion while dreams of denial resonates. At this time the stories that you heard from aunts and uncles grandmas and grandpops mom and dad growing up become a part of your reality world. People with a strong background and thorough upbringing know what i mean. There's never been a better time to go back to those times and remember how they spoke upon the love that they had to share that got them through the toughest of times and who they leaned on to help them get through and move on living day to day. There's an old  saying that "it gets worst before it gets better" but i believe brighter days are better than darkest nights. Just think, Michael Jordan got CUT from his highschool basketball team then moved on to be the most popular person we know. The most feirce competitor i've seen. Compition came but boy did HE MAKE EM PAY! I can respect that and pretty sure you can too. I ask you to have faith drive strong and don't lay up. If you get up high enough, how can you resist the slam dunk? Start a new you! Change up! Dont lay up. Start with a plan on how to get out of debt but 1st get your score and write down step by step on how to rebuild your worth and watch your fortunes grow. I am taking control of my life and on my way. I ain't asking you to follow just asking you to get on the path and i promise you will love it.
