5-7 months of living expenses left; terrified. Advice?
somnambulist: Hi there!I really don't know as to whether whatever I will be writing down will be of any help to you or not, but I would be very happy if it would. Anyway I'll give it a try.You ask 'Has anyone here been through disaster before?' Well, the truth is almost everyone (barring exceptions, and exceptions don't account for any rule) has been through some kind of predicaments in life. But the problem is many of us thinks that that our individual problem is the penultimate (no offence, simply stating the fact).In troubled times, we usually have two options; either to succumb to the surmounting pressure, or accept the challenge and come out of it. If we are negative in these troubled times, we succumb and if we are positive we come out of it, stronger, much more stronger, with wisdom.You say that you have funds for at least another 6-7 months. That's certainly is a lot of time, provided that you are calm, pateint and positive. I am sure, you must be aware of the fact, that there are many people in life, who even don't have money to eat a single meal. And here you are, 6-7 months.... Things can change for the better.. You never know.. And things have changed in the past.. After the night.. there is always the day.. and after the day.. there is the night.. the cycle.. continues.. and the one who knows this facet about life has known one of the important arts to live life...Anyway you state that you do like the startup and the projects you are working on.. So why worry? Enjoy whatever you are doing.. and take one step at a time... Don't worry unnecessarily... after all.. worrying is not going to help you..... What sense would it make, if you were making lot of money but you were just not enjoying whatever you were doing....Before I conclude, I would like to share with you a few quotes that perchance might rejuvenate your spirit....1> Do the things you FeAr & FeAr will disappear.2> I will certainly strike the iron when its hot. Else I'll continue striking it till it gets hot!3> In life when one door of happiness closes, another one immediately opens. But often we get
so lost and absorbed in our sorrows and problems, we fail to see the one which has opened
for us. - Hellen Keller4> God isn't such a miser that he'll give you just one chance.5> It's very easy to dream when everything seems to be going right with you. But the most
important thing is to dream when just about everything seems to be going wrong with you.
- Azim Premji (Founder of Wipro-India's 2nd ranked IT Company)6> Many of the failures in the world were those people who were so close to success when they gave up. - Thomas Alva Edison7> The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.8> If you're not failing, you're not trying anything. - Woody Allen9> The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams - Anna Eleanor RooseveltLastly, if you haven't watched the movie 'In Pursuit of Happiness,' starring Wills Smith, I strongly recommend you to watch it. It's the perfect time for you to watch it.Peace & Love,
