Are you one of these persons that everyone calls in a crisis? Do you know just what to say and when? Have been there to take charge and calm the mob from burning the town?<\/p>\n
Perhaps not the later, though if you\u2019ve done that do email me the details \u2013 I\u2019d love to know about it! But if you\u2019re reading this the rest of previous paragraph probably describes you. I know it clearer speaks about many of my readers who I know personally. The question is, To whom do you<\/em> turn to when times get tough?<\/p>\n It can be a difficult question to answer, particularly if you are a leader, a minister, a supervisor, or just that one particular person everyone thinks has it all together all the time. I probably shouldn\u2019t admit this, but I will. I\u2019ve been seen that way since I was 17 years old. At the time I had a real problem that finally came to light. The people who helped me had no idea anything was wrong. \u201cWe thought you had the world by the tail,\u201d I was told.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t. I couldn\u2019t find my own tail let alone anyone else\u2019s. I was fortunate and blessed to have people who cared enough about me to intervene in my life and stop what was fast becoming a downward spiral. The fact is, however, it doesn\u2019t have to get that bad to be dangerous.<\/p>\n Is there something in your life that you keep putting on hold? Something that bothers you, that you know you ought to take care of, yet something you never seem to have the time or strength to address? If so, I encourage you to reach out today for some kind of support to get you through whatever the issue is. It may be contacting a counselor or minister for guidance. I might just be coffee with a friend. Whatever it is for you, please take the time to take care of yourself.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t force you to do this, but would you be willing this week to do just one simple, loving thing that is just for you? In other words, take some time to bask in a completely selfish act of some kind that nurtures, revitalizes and pleases you. If it\u2019s something you\u2019d like to share, skip down to the bottom and leave a comment. Who knows, perhaps that one thing you do this week will be just what someone else is looking for to help themselves! Have a great week!<\/p>\n In Spirit, Truth and Playfulness,<\/p>\n Terry<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you one of these persons that everyone calls in a crisis?
