I met a guy today who has "lost everything and started over" four times in his life. It reminded me of something Donald Trump said, that if he lost his fortune today, it wouldn't even matter. No one can take away his experience and wisdom. He knows how "the system" works, and he'd just create his empire again.
Is that what I'm supposed to learn from my financial challenges right now, that it really isn't the economy, the job market or the balance on my credit card that matters - it's what's in my head and my heart that counts! I have skills, talents and gifts that nobody else has. This circumstance is compelling me to share the essence of who I am, with many more people.
There are other options. I could live in government housing and live on food stamps. Women choose this all the time. I'm not going to "take this lying down". I'm a fighter. I view trials and challenges as opportunities to show exactly what we're made of.
I am a champion; a woman of great capacity - as I radiate the joy that comes from living God's perfect plan of happiness. He wouldn't allow this test to come into my experience without also giving me the ability to work my way out of it. (1 Nephi 3:7) Having God on my side, I expect to succeed. I live my life as a river - constantly surprised by it's own unfolding. I can't wait to see what's around the next bend. It's an amazing adventure. ~ Julia
