In reality, it&#8217;s not that bad, but it could be.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things are very uncertain right now with the Coronavirus on the move here in the United States and around the world. Moments like this have a way of raising our awareness of all the what ifs in life.  What if my money doesn&#8217;t come in this month? What if I get sick? What if someone in my family gets sick? What if Disney+ crashes?  If we live in the What Ifs we will see life as a Train Wreck.  Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been learning about myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I hate debt. The fear of finances would be so much less if I had none. I am now highly motivated to get rid of all debt. It steals and destroys your finances.<\/li><li>I use too much toilet paper. I&#8217;ve switched to using tissues to blow my nose instead of TP.  It&#8217;s a few extra steps to solve a possible problem later. <\/li><li>It doesn&#8217;t matter how much value you have to offer if people can&#8217;t see past their circumstance. You can offer free this and free that, but people can&#8217;t see past their circumstance to go after growth and there is so much out there that it causes shut down instead of buy in. <\/li><li>Kids are way more resilient than we think. <\/li><li>Worry isn&#8217;t a good thermometer. We make decisions about life based upon worry instead of reality and then the world runs out of toilet paper and eggs. <\/li><li>I don&#8217;t work efficiently on a regular basis. I&#8217;ve found so many ways to connect with people that I wish I had connected with earlier, but was always waiting for a chance to get coffee or lunch. <\/li><li>My mother is stubborn. If you know her, tell her to stay in and  order groceries for pick up or delivery.  <\/li><li>God has placed inside of us what is needed for this moment in History. It&#8217;s our job to look for it and share it.  <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we concentrate on the Worries and What Ifs then life looks like a train wreck. If we look outside our circumstances and look for ways to add value to others and to our own growth journeys then we&#8217;re going to win this crisis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are praying for you today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is my life a train wreck?
