Denial
Denial is one of those strange states of existence that allows us to justify the choices we make. There are extremely powerful emotions surrounding denial. Fear and ignorance run rampant when denial comes into the pictures. When you are in denial about your finances, you might feel like you are okay for the time being. You might tell yourself, "Things really aren't as bad as they seem to be" or "I can pay my bills" or even, "My job is secure, I don't have anything to worry about". Don't wait for life to smack the denial out of you. Consider this your gentle nudge- Take action today!
Homework:
If you are living in denial, especially about the state of your finances, I want you to pull your head out of the sand and face everything head on. This is obviously very scary, but it's like ripping off a band-aid, it hurts for a little while but not forever. You'll never know how deep the wound is until you clean it out.
"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt" Mark Twain
"You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory." J. Donald Walters
"Delay is the deadliest form of denial" C. Northcote Parkinson
