STILL PROCESSING some heavy issues?

By
Real Estate Agent with Austin Texas Homes

 

I started this post and re-started. What you are reading now is under revision even as I write. Ever so often processing life events can be extremely challenging. One piece of advice I have given and held to throughout my life is to "not make any major life decisions while going through a crises". 

If you are in the midst of a life crises or the facing the aftershock of such an event let me encourage you to reach out. It is difficult to discuss our hurts and pain but in the end it can be very healing.

    Thank you, Alan.   We are having a crisis of sorts, and need to make some major decisions.  Your advice is spot on!

Panic seldom results in good decisions...along with fear, anger, jealous, etc.

Hmmm, none of these are 'good' emotions. I wonder if that is important?

Any major life decisions should only be made after careful thought and consulting with mentors/counselors/trusted people.  Hopefully everything works out for you .

That is great advice.  I tell many people looking to sell that have lost a loved one not to act to hastily.

Alan, everytime I respond to a crisis without deliberation I always blow it.

Alan, thanks for the solid advice. Reaching out is so hard for many because of pride.  But getting the perspective of one who is not in the crisis can help us see more clearly what we need to do.

Have a blessed day.
