Why Starting Over?

There are many reasons why a person might face the need for starting over, and some people face that need more than once. Much of the content here, and the content of other material that might be offered, is taken from personal experiences.

Rather than be seen to dwell on the negatives, the intention here is to demonstrate the positive; to provide inspiration for those who need it.

Humans are complex creatures; we’re all the same, to a certain extent, and yet we’re all different. Because of that difference there are obviously some who seem to sail through life, surviving all the challenges, and seeming to find little trouble in adapting to any.

By the same token there are others who see each obstacle as a permanent defeat, feeling they are powerless to do anything about it. When such people are faced with major upsets in their lives they need all the inspiration and encouragement they can get.

Losing a long-standing marriage is hard for some to accept; adapting to the change can be seen as a worse blow than the loss of the marriage.

Loss of a Loved one through bereavement makes adapting even harder for those bereft.

Failing in business, loss of employment, and/or foreclosure on your home also have a dramatic effect on the lives of many of those who fall victim; their number is legion.

All the above are hard knocks to take one at a time; when they come in quick succession or, even worse, in pairs, life really hits hard. Even so, they are not life threatening and, hard as it seems at the time, all of them can be overcome.

Here’s a well known quotation from Napoleon Hill that’s well worth remembering…
“In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit”.

All of the personally devastating and emotionally draining events mentioned above are bound to have an effect. Often they come unexpectedly, when you’re not prepared for such things, and when they do happen it’s hard to see the merit in Hill’s statement.

After the dust from your personal tragedy has settled, and you’ve had time to come to terms with the event, there comes a time when the seed of benefit from the event will be seen if you look for it.

Maybe my prior exposure to the works of Napoleon Hill helped bring me through. After personally surviving all those circumstances, some more than once, each time adapting, recovering, staying positive and fighting on, many lessons have been learned.

In the learning there came an awakening, and the prospect of a new Love and a new beginning. That awakening itself has many challenges, and they too shall be overcome.

Slowly, it’s happening.

From that promise of a new personal beginning this site was created.

There’s a moral obligation, I feel, for those who survive such events to pass on their survival experience and knowledge to help others who experience the same, or similar.

In my belief that we are all the same, whatever your colour, gender, race, culture, or persuasion, be it Spiritual or Religious, this site is offered. Hopefully, I can help to kindle your hopes for the future in my offerings on this site.

All my life has been involved in providing service and benefits to others in some way. Whether in my own business in later years, or as an employee for the younger part of my life so far, service was always the goal. Nothing has changed in that regard.

Hence the creation of my first website and Newsletter, both of which started seven years ago, after I’d been online for 6months. Again, service was the goal. Much was learned in those early months, and a whole lot more has been learned since.

The student became wiser in the process; the cost was more than a little.

Having survived challenging times, and now with you learning about them, it seems reasonable that I might, once again, step forward to offer advice, guidance and support for those seeking a genuine home based online income.
