THE POWER IS IN YOU

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

–Stephen Covey

LOST MY BUISNESS

I had a successful furniture business where i was making $1000 dollars each working day. Personal and business issues resulted in me getting a divorce and losing much of what i owned. I am now in a position where i have to start from scratch and work for wage. Not only  has my lifestyle had to change but losing my family relationship has hurt me. Now I'm trying to pick up the pieces but its hard to encourage my kids to do the same. I try and be strong for them and i find it a struggle whenever i pick myself up, i feel that something out of my power brings me back down. I wish things were the way they used to be.

WORK BULLIES

I feel frustrated when all i want to do is my job and to be treated like everyone else. It seems that my boss has worked out how to push his staff out of a job in such a gentle way that it can't be classed as work case bullying. He chooses his words carefully and covers his selective bad treatment up by throwing the odd staff member names in the mix of mistakes. But if i was to do some of the things that his so called favourite staff do, i would be in his office so quick my head would spin. It doesn't matter what i try to do, i feel like I'm always in the bad books for even the smallest of things. I just wish that if its wrong for me than it shouldn't be right for anyone else.

MY KIDS ARE HERMITS

My kids spend all there free time in their bedroom playing computer games. It doesn't matter how gorgeous the day is outside, they would rather be indoors. I feel that staring at the screen all day and not talking to real people is bad for their health. It doesn't matter what i tried they complaining that this is what they would rather do with their time. What is wrong with kids these days ?

ADDICTION

I spend most of my money on gambling. When i get paid weekly, the first thing i think of is can i make my money back. A lot of times i win at the start but the small amounts isn't enough to get me out of my money problems. It feels as if even when I've saved money my bills come at the time. I feel its hard to do anything without worrying where my moneys going. I was thinking about working extra hours but then i felt tired all the time, which made me feel antisocial. They say you can't buy away your problems , id love to try.

WORK, BORING!!!

I seem to be able to get jobs quite easily, but i find it hard to stick to a job. Within 3 to 6 months i get bored. Once i know the job there seems to be nothing about the job that keeps me interested. The more i try to make it work the harder i find it to convince myself that this is the job for me. I find it hard to think that I'm supposed to be in this same job for another thirty years or so. I have had such a variety of jobs that i still can't find the perfect one. Am i supposed to settle ?

FATHERS BROKEN PROMISES

My father keeps on making promises that he can't keep. He seems to find excuses that he tells me whenever something goes wrong. I think he believes the things he tells will happen but the more times he breaks his word, it becomes a lot harder to believe him with even the simplest of tasks. I now only believe things will happen when they happen. Its hard to get excited because i start to feel a bit foolish for believing the broken promises.

ANGER MANAGMENT

I find myself getting angry way more easier these days. Even the small things frustrate me. Im not sure if people seem to be getting on my nerves because of the stupid things they say, or because my patience can't handle the repetitive mistakes they make. What happened to people being courteous ?

HELP PLEASE

I've raised my sons alone from when they have been very young, and have worked two jobs trying to make ends meet. Now close to retirement I've now told my kids that i can longer support them with the extra cash that i have given them here and there. But now i find that they're not calling as much or visiting me. It saddens me that all that i have given them and all that i have done for them  that they haven't appreciated it.

ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO BE WRONG ???

Changing your mind is okay not admitting you've changed your mind because it would mean someone else was right is just stupid.
