Your Holiday “Family Survival Guide”
For some people, the holidays are a joyous occasion. But for others, this time of year can be very painful, stressful or just plain tiring.
Many years ago, I found myself in a situation where life was living me instead of me living life. Have you ever felt that way? Like between all your tasks and duties you are just going through the motions?
That used to be me. I was overly stressed-out, working way too many hours and didn’t know my family or my husband; my life no longer seemed worth living! In fact, that way of life led me to a heart attack and a nervous breakdown.
Then something happened to totally change my life. An executive (and millionaire) told me he would never work with me because I had nothing he wanted. He said it was clear to him that Hans, my husband and business partner, and I hated each other, we had not taken a vacation in years and didn’t know our kids. I looked old and worn out. I wasn’t happy and it showed – who would want to do anything with a person like that?
Mind you, I was still in my early 20s! Would you call that a way to live? It’s important to learn from successful people if you want to be successful. If you want to know if something is going to work for you, look at the fruit it has borne in other people’s lives. It was on that day I realized I was bearing some very poor fruit!
I can tell you the fruit of this particular skill set I applied totally changed my life. For this skill to work for you, you need think out of the box a little here… In fact just throw the box out. Because you can choose to live in the box, choose to live your life by default. 98% of the population is there with you.
If you would prefer to live your life by DESIGN (your design) here are two very important laws to understand
If you’re stuck in a rut, overwhelmed, wishing you had more time… that’s normal! But it isn’t necessary. You don’t have to live like that. Just stop trying to fit “the box” into your existing circle.
Today, choose to start living your life by design. Give me your thoughts on what I shared today, and don’t forget to Like and Share this message.

Sometimes in life the deck really is stacked against you. But if you are not being faithful with what you’ve been given, you will never be made ruler over more. In fact, you are setting yourself up to lose it all!
Have you ever felt like you and your spouse just aren’t on the same page? The reality is, you and your spouse won’t always be on the same page. But you’re still on the same team. Especially when it comes to money!
