Economy And Heartache – What is the Solution?

Hello from the overpopulated metropolis of Cedar Crest, NM!  I am heading out this week to find the meaning of life.  Okay…I am exaggerating…but I am taking another hiatus.  Am I running from life?  You could say that.  Well…not really…I still plan to blog.

This has been a tough few days for me…and probably for all of us in some way.  Trying to get our minds around what just happened with the 7 billion bailout and wondering what the impact will be….and add our own personal traumas makes for a very funky time.

On the personal level, things are always funky (at least in my opinon).  We (I use “we” loosely) all deal with family issues, broken relationships, disappointments, and tragedy…it is all part of life right?   I find that anything that deals with personal relationships are always a risk….always fragile…because people change.

Where people are involved there seems to always be the risk of turmoil and pain. Think about it….business partnerships, marriage, friendships, family, and relationships in general.   When have you been hurt?  Chances are it is because of someone else.

“Okay Rob….so what is your point?”

Well….the things around us are going to get worse.  Much worse. So how will the fact that not only do we have to deal with the day-to-day issues (relationships)….but compound that with the instability of the external components or our life (i.e. the economy)?  Well…the answer may surprise you.

“I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships, so will our healing.” – From the book The Shack by W.M. Paul Young

I have always believed that deep relationship lead to success in all areas of life….even in tough times.  Even at the risk of getting hurt……authentic relationships with partners, teammates, clients, family, friends, etc,. will be the key factor in not only surviving the economic downturn but also the internal turmoil we all go through.

Is it that simple?  Depends on you and me.

Until next time…..rob
