Security, stability and safety don’t exist.

“Security, stability and safety don’t exist.  You think they do but they do not.  It’s something made up in your mind or it was a story, a fairytale, someone told you.  Probably someone you trust implicitly.  And you chose to believe them because it felt good.”  (here’s the full post)

 

I wrote this a couple of months ago.  It was part of my first blog.  I’ve written a blog every weekday since that first one.  I wanted to bring up this section of that blog post because I believe this theme should be discussed a little bit more.

What if these guys walk away?

 

Recently in the news here in my home State the new Governor has proposed a huge cut to the State budget.  We are millions and millions of dollars in debt here in Michigan.  He didn’t bring a scalpel to the table he brought a wood chipper.  Everything is on the chopping block.

Similar issues are happening in Wisconsin, Nevada, California and several other states.  Not only are States looking to cut budgets but it would seem that the Federal budget could also get slashed as well.  The people of those States are in an uproar over proposed cuts to services. 

They believed that security, stability and safety existed in their lives.  This is their wake up call. 

The only person you can rely on is yourself.  You cannot rely on your State or the Federal Government.  These bodies are too far removed from your actual life. 

Work towards getting away from reliance on the government.  For some that might mean to stop using student loans to pay for a degree that they can’t afford.  For some that may be  relying on certain interest rates to buy a car or home that is out of reach.  Take your life back before it’s taken from you.  Maybe it’s time for you to take a leap of faith and start your own business.  Yes, it’s risky but so is waiting around for some far off group to decide your fate.
