She was sobbing. What had she done wrong? Why was her tea business a failure? Why was her dream shattered?
I could barely make out what she was saying. Her breath was heavy, her sighs barely audible. The wrenching pain in her heart caused her face to contort again and again.
I tried to comfort her but it was obvious that the most important thing I could do right now was listen.
"Go ahead." I said. "Tell me everything."

Truth be told, many of us may have experienced these feelings at some point. Perhaps you have been struggling in your business or maybe you have experience another type of debilitating loss. You might have wondered how you could go on with the cards so stacked against you.
I do not have an answer for dealing with the loss of something you love. I do however have a few suggestions.
1 Find a friend to talk to and let it out. Keeping things locked inside clogs your brain and keeps you from finding creative solutions.
2 Find guidance. Consider hiring a life coach or joining a motivation class for this specific season in your life. (a great suggestion is SheerInspirationCoaching.com )
3 What is the worst thing that can happen? Think about it. Get used to it. Realize that even if that should happen... you can and will get through it. In fact, it probably won't be nearly as bad as what you are imagining. Now think about the good things. What one thing will you gain in this process? How can this impact you for the better.
4 Keep a gratitude journal and FIND SOMETHING to be grateful for each day.
5 Don't give up instead get creative. Grab a team of friends or associates to work with you brainstorming your way into a new level of ideas. Who knows what your business or life may evolve into because of this opposition.
Ready or not... life changes. The good news? YOU NOW HAVE A PLAN.
