Never Ignore Those Tell-tale Signs

 

ALERTs and WARNING signs are everywhere, whether there's a road erosion, slippery road, sharp curves, falling rocks, name it.  And we CAN'T even find a scape goat in our every day life because it's the same stuff all over.  Never Ignore Those Tell-tale Signs and there can be NO stronger and louder warnings we can ask for.  NOT being promoted for a job role you're angling.  NOT bagging a new sales contract.  NOT receiving a salary raise.  NOT being made part in a circle WHERE you used to be one of the mainstays.  NOT missing those medical checkups getting more frequent.  NOT missing to buy tons and tons of prescribed medicines😡😡😡

So, is a COLLAPSE coming and eminent now?  NOOOOOOO sirrrs.  Likely, that COLLAPSE is happening right now in your eyes, albeit without the visuals and impact that will cause a cardiac arress [knock on wood].  Unfortunately, WHAT we often hear is "COLLAPSE IS COMING' BUT in many scenarios, it is happening, it is already happening.  In short, more often, we do miss out that we're 'LIVING IN IT'💚💛💜

Thing is, COLLAPSE is NOT an apocalyptic event.  It is WHAT happens WHEN the rules change.  It is that slow hustle with nothing to show for it.  It is the rising rent.  So, COLLAPSE is that culmination of all those 'LITTLE CUTS' we do to make both ends meet.  LIKE maybe we've cut down our subscriptions.  LIKE maybe we downgraded some of our usual lifestyle standards.  LIKE maybe we started to skip our scheduled medical consultations.  LIKE maybe we put off for a later time fixing our leaking roof [because it's still summertime for now].  LIKE our monthly savings gets pruned down and down.  LIKE your annual rituals for your family holidays is becoming a thing of the past.  LIKE you start to pay your credit card bills via those installment options luring you no end❌❌❌

In a nutshell, let us NOT wait for that 'BIG BANG' thing like a Super Nova about to burst in the galaxy.  Thing is, it is quite regrettable WHEN at times we refuse to acknowledge and recognize those tell-tale signs.  LIKE those road signs warning of a sharp curve ahead [NO, I'm far away from that].  LIKE a steep climb [NO, my car is in tip-top shape].  LIKE suddenly your cash flow problems used to hit you once a year WHEN it was school enrollment time for your kids but today you're cash-strapped almost always😗😗😗

Our takeaway:  Just like WHEN the 'iron curtain' collapsed [like East Germany falling down like a domino], communism  collapsed NOT in 1989 when East Germany collapsed] BUT the 'seeds' of the collapse of communism were planted no less by Mikhail Gorbachev, Russia's previous leader WHO embarked his 'PERESTROIKA' policies bundled with 'GLASNOST' as he introduced greater political and economic freedoms and created an environment WHERE those European satellite states would pursue their own paths, all culminating in the dismantling of communism.  Enough of geo-politics.  Back to our daily lives, YES, let us NEVER IGNORE THOSE "TELL-TALE" SIGNS [of a potential, albeit far fetched and remote 'COLLAPSE']💥💥💥
