Looking Fear in the Face - Death
June 12th 2008 08:59
Hello everyone
At some point in life we come to crossroads. We stand in the centre and decide to go east, west, north or south. Choosing a direction can be hard as often there are unknown entities, stepping stones, lessons and situations to be overcome.
I have had to face "death" four times in the last twelve months. My son, husband, mother and now father. Each time I have chosen to move ahead. Having to prepare myself for the possible they may not make it.
Each day now is a blessing. No one knows the time or place when something like this will strike. One moment someone you know and love is ok, appearing healthy. Within a matter of hours they are fighting for their very existence.
This and other situations have seen me bring into my life a hidden strength that we alll possess. When trouble strikes, it is ok to be scared as this is normal. It is how we reacte after this, the decision, the choice in response, which will have a major effect on us,our family and those surrounding us.
Freelancing is the only choice as is the company and network being established. An idea is taking shape, people are becoming interested and as a result dreams coming real.
I never knew it was possible to become an entrepreneur, business owner, writer and mentor. Freelancing in any industry has its ups and downs.
By having to face death my life has been enriched and I appreciate every day.
Thank you for reading and I value your comments.
