10 Things to Remember During Challenging Times
I LOST MY JOB!
I was ashamed.
I cried.
I hid my pain.
The hardest part was telling my friends and family I was jobless!
I was embarrassed.
That was over 20 years ago.
Yeah, I was one of the luck millions that got laid-off, multiple times during the dot-com bubble era.
It was hard.
I collected unemployment.
I know how you might be feeling right now.
Out of my personal struggles, I learned some valuable lessons. Many of these lessons took me years to fully understand. Here are 10 things to remember during challenging times.
- There’s no need to be ashamed. Everyone has a struggle.
- Understanding and accepting that things won’t always work out the way we planned.
- Staying positive because it will always get better.
- Keep going. There are 7.3 billion opportunities out there to get help from.
- Be grateful for having a life.
- Build your network – personally and professionally.
- No one can take away our happiness.
- Everyone has an opportunity to step up to become a leader.
- Stay confident with your knowledge, skills, and communication.
- Keep learning!
The best part of challenging times, there’s hope, as long as you try!
I wish you all the best!

5 个月I can completely relate to your experience, and I struggled with the same emotions. During the mortgage crisis era in 2008 real estate was incredibly stressful. I was laid off multiple times, and it was tough. I collected unemployment and faced similar challenges. Your list of lessons resonates deeply with me. It took me years to understand and appreciate these truths, but they are so important. Staying positive, building your network, and continually learning are key. Thank you for sharing your journey and these valuable insights. There is always hope, and we grow stronger from these challenges.
