Sometimes life throws you a curveball. Whether in the form of work trouble, relationship trouble and/or financial trouble. All three can handcuff you, if you let it. It's really up to you to either sit back and take a pitch and hope it's a ball. Or you can be aggressive and swing at that curveball. By doing this you take control of the situation.
You see, in the past I've waited for my pitch. It never came. To tell you the truth, I blew the game. I let things build and build until I was in quick sand. So much so that I was paralyzed with fear. And at this point it was too late and a nervous breakdown occurred.
Not this time. Work sucks. You're broke. And lastly, your relationship I strained due to the all of this. So I say again: Take a pitch or swing for the fences? This time I swung. I became proactive. When you do this you feel in control.
Feeling that pressure makes you run instead of walk. At work you become more productive. And if it's too late for that you become more productive at finding another job. A friend once told me that "looking for a job is a full time job itself". You have to keep pushing.
Financially, you have to smarten up. For me this is the hardest task. Look at where you are and where you want to be. The hardest part for me is spending money on stupid shit. Once you get these two nailed down, you're on the way out of the quick sand.
Last but not least: relationships. I'm not going to lecture anyone on relationships and what you should be doing. I'm still learning. I mean, I don't consider myself to be the greatest boyfriend of all time, but I do take pride in how I treat my girlfriend. Yes I'm stubborn, selfish and a baby sometimes. But this doesn't have to do with my girlfriend. It's just me. When it comes to my girlfriend, I like to think I do a pretty good job. But to have a girlfriend who supports you in so many ways is the shit. You have to find someone you can depend one with out becoming dependent. My girlfriend doesn't take any crap. She'll listen to my problems but won't let me dwell on them. She forces me to do my best.
To live your life you need to take control. I know it sounds cheesy but it's true. Trust me, I speak from experience. I used to think I didn't have control over anything. Something’s you don't have control over everything, but you still have to try. You'll be surprised about what you find out about yourself. So swing away.
