It's No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk

It's No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk
By Anne O'Dwyer

I walked into the kitchen to make a coffee to find a large pool of milk seeping out of the fridge. The 4 pint carton had oozed out onto the floor from a tiny puncture. This prompted me to write this article

When things go wrong it is usually an opportunity to improve something in the future. Sometimes but not always they are caused by negligence on our part. When this happens it makes us more diligent in the future. Sometimes we just can't win!

My Granddaughter a student visited recently and told us about a whole succession of disasters that had happened to her in the last month.

Her phone had been stolen from her bag whilst she was at work, sad and inconvenient but luckily she had the foresight to insure it. However as it was in an unlocked locker at work it didn't pass the insurance criteria, so despite her efforts it wasn't covered. Next her car was broken into, her Sat Nav and music system was stolen, despite a police notification number, the insurance as yet hasn't paid out.

Next she drove a bit too fast around a bend skidded on ice and ended up in a ditch and the car written off, and only 3rd party insurance! Last but not least she dropped her laptop which couldn't be repaired or her years work rescued from it. Bless her, hopefully her exams coming up soon will go better.

When we hit a patch like this we can let it destroy us, or we can press on and get over it. Maybe we should take the opportunity to examine our lives. Have you backed up your laptop lately? Do you have all your belongings insured? Is your house insurance up to date? Do we always do everything we should do? Are we as organised as we would like to be? How good are we are planning our future, or do we just let the days slip by knowing we should change our lives?

Here are books I found interesting the might help you re-assess your future:

"Thank God it's Monday", by Charles Cameron and Susan Ellusorr

The book covers how to find work or set up a business that is totally right for you, with strategies and techniques to help you enjoy you current work meantime.

"Take Time For Your Life" and "Time Makeovers" by Cheryl Richardson

She is one of America's best-selling life coaches, and suggests ways you can relieve stress and take the pressures away from a busy life. Her suggestions help you cope with the pressures of a tight schedule of work and bringing up a family. How to make time for your own dreams and needs and how to choose and prioritize and live the life you want.

"Getting what you want" by J.H. Brennan

Everything you have ever wanted is within your grasp - this could be your way forward!

Are you constantly short of cash and always find more month than money? Do you have a big enough pension plan to take care of your future? Take charge of your life, get everything insured, make a plan of where you would like your future to take you.

If you are short of cash consider starting a hobby business in your spare-time. Turn your hobby or interest into a paying hobby and give yourself some security for the future. Plan your life and work your plan, see how being organized can free up your time and improve your stress levels.

Sometimes when disaster strikes it prompts us to take stock and improve our future. I hope this jolts you into action without the disaster, making you more organized and your future more exciting and successful.
