FIRST.. because 'getting' 'disturbed'
RAISES within us a 'q-u-e-s-t-i-o-n'
Questions POINT us to WHERE we need to LOOK.
A Contracting Career WITHOUT a QUESTION is a career
going nowhere because it has NO idea where to look.
we agreed when DL said to me
"... money aside, life is great.... i just hate being financially poor... its been like that for 5 years now. All of my friends have been promoted to much higher salaries and I am struggling to make even what fresh grads from community colleges are making. But in time, i will be able to show people, convincingly, that i am good and that they are making the right choice with me.
DL could have buried, suppressed, denied, deluded by pretending everything was okay when it wasn't. Yes he was grateful for the areas that WERE doing okay but was not going to let that cloud his sensory acuity on how things are.
Positive thinking done mindlessly incorrectly as pushed by media is often dangerous.
Disturbed in the way DL was disturbed IS thinking positive in that DL didn't lie to himself instead DL listened to his quite inner voice and admitted his adversity. He pointed to his 'cloud'.
HE THEN did what most omit to do.. He asked for and got the 'SILVER LINING' in his cloud that he could now POINT to. He saw his OPPORTUNITY. He saw the truth and how to make it better.
