You may call it wishful<br>thinking. Maybe I\u2019m also a dreamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5e090b63b031933c876dbb75f9f7e772\"><br>These past few months have been challenging to say the least. Starting a business from scratch,<br>personal health, issues at home, you name it! And to top it all, I had a six-week trip planned for<br>months that I had to keep rescheduling because of this. The week before I left, I felt I was in a<br>completely chaotic mental state. That kept me wondering how many things I could\u2019ve done<br>differently. Or how I could have prevented most of these events from happening. After a while, I<br>realized I did everything the way I was supposed to. But I don&#8217;t have a crystal ball and there was<br>no way for me to prepare better. Trust me: I did dig into my planning methods. Not a single detail<br>was left out of my tight planning. None. So\u2026 I think life reminded me once again that even if you<br>think you have it all covered: you don\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#have-we-forgotten-about-2020-already\">Have we forgotten about 2020 already?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#to-make-ends-meet\">To make ends meet<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#starting-from-scratch\">Starting from scratch<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#do-you-have-what-it-takes\">Do you have what it takes?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#letting-go\">Letting go<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"have-we-forgotten-about-2020-already\"><strong><em>Have we forgotten about 2020 already?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5889509d69d79ecb395b9ff904ca0a7d\">Most people were left pretty scarred after the pandemic. Whether it was health-related, business-<br>related, or family and loved ones-related, our worlds were upside down and we had no clue what<br>was going on for a long time. It seems like a decade ago, but it wasn\u2019t. And some more than others<br>are still trying to bring themselves together again. You are not alone.

The anxiety that the lack of financial stability generates in<br>you, usually takes a hard toll on your mind. Either you are extremely motivated by that fact and are<br>always pushing to improve yourself in this matter, or you have an almost indescribable constant<br>fear of \u201cloosing it all\u201d. So apart from therapy and counseling, it is important to move forward in your<br>career to grasp that sense of success when you look at your bank account.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"starting-from-scratch\"><strong><em>Starting from scratch<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-55aa4fdda1d1c5cd0c8d2c5d44a0de25\"><br>Wether you are fresh out of college and looking for your first immediate job in your degree field, or<br>you are close to retiring but not quite yet, there\u2019s always &#8211; and I do mean always &#8211; somewhere,<br>somehow, to start over. Being able to pursue your dreams and your passion to be in a job you<br>enjoy, where you feel appreciated and know you are making an impact it is a necessity for<br>everyone.
