What To Do When You Get Your Ass Kicked

Category: From My Life, General — Jeremy Wright @ 2:30 pm

Earlier today, I was having a pity party. “Woe is me, I’m broke, life sucks”

What do you do when you’ve just been slammed with thousands of dollars in unforeseen expenses? Well, for me the process goes something like:

1. Blog about it
2. Mope around doing nothing
3. Play Age of Mythology until fingers hurt
4. Look for jobs
5. Start putting more irons in the fire
6. Perk up
7. Be ready to take on the world
8. Eat ice cream

There you have it. Tips for success from me. For what little it’s worth, considering I still owe thousands of dollars in unforeseen expenses that I still can’t afford ;-)

    Good luck with your money troubles, hope you get a job (or something soon).

    Ah, that’s what I missed – Age and ice cream. It won’t solve your issue, but you can feel not alone in your misery if it helps; am right beside ya.

    Maaaaate,

    Age of Mythology!!!! Wow, I’m digging up my copy tonight. Life is good when you can spank Cantaurs like the no good scum that they are.

    Seriously though. It could be worse, you could be living in a trailer park outside of Bucksnort Arizona. At least you can lean on of the Blorg Collective (millions of bloggers who think and act the same way, sharing life almost instantly).

    Building a successful business takes a long time. Get used to these ups and downs because they will happen often. It’s good that your spirits bounce back so quickly. You need that in order to be persistent, and you need persistence in order to blaze new trails that the rest of the world isn’t quite ready for.
