ON The "HANDWRITING ON THE WALL"

"Have you ever been blindsided by a change or setback and in hindsight realized you had an inkling about it all along? Some situations do manifest themselves suddenly. More often there are signs, red flags, even bright flares that shout PAY ATTENTION.

======================================

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced…" - James Baldwin

======================================

Some people even ignore what they know to be true. I assisted with the shutdown of a company that had been on the market for several years. The employees knew it but hoped the purchasing company would keep everyone. They didn't. The site was closed and the business merged into operations in a distant state. Amazingly, few people had updated their resumes, done any networking or in any way prepared for the inevitable.

======================================

======================================

Ignoring signals, hoping you're wrong, or flat out denying the obvious can set you up for getting stuck in fear and blaming when the truth becomes apparent.

Resilient people, the ones who can bounce back quickly from difficulties, don't ignore the "handwriting". They explore options and prepare for what might occur.

"God gives food to every bird but He does not throw it into the nest….." - Hindu saying
