It’s common for people during a recession to end up feeling hopeless and fearful of the uncertain future. In a situation like this, all you really need to do is to begin this simple process of evaluation and goal setting.
- Were you fired because you were overpaid? If so, it might be because you’ve not been able to add value to the organization relative to what you were being paid. It may also mean you have reached an income scale that doesn’t make sense for an organization to keep you. You might need to start out on your own, if you dare.

My wife recently posed me this question: how does someone actually “search their soul” and “find themselves”? My reaction to the question was that they have to know themselves better.
Which, of course, begged the question, how does one get to know oneself better? Here’s what I think.
- Find time for yourself, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. I know a number of people who are extremely uncomfortable with silence. You may finally get to hear what you really are thinking.

Job layoffs have obviously hit people very hard this year. Millions of jobs have been cut leading to a variety of different problems. First, with human resource caps on hiring, there are fewer jobs now, left only to the elite and those who have superior skills or connections. Second, leftover employees will take on the burden of stress of the mess that their colleagues left for them after being laid off. Third, the increase in fear and anxiety in a bearish economy leaves little for people to look forward to.

I’ll bet you encounter depression once in a while. Or, you might actually be someone who has been battling depression for some time. Maybe you have someone you’d like to help.

Whatever the case, the perspective I’d put on this is that depression is normal. Yes, can be debilitating, but it’s normal. Millions of people go through it. Some people get out of it faster than others.
In recent days, especially after the announcement of major job losses in America, I’ve seen a surge in people seeking depression treatment or depression help. Somehow, many people are in a bad spot and just don’t know how to go about helping themselves.

I’ve probably personally known more people fired around the world and especially in Ameria in the last two months than all the other years put together. This is what the Speaker Of The House Of Representatives in the US posted on the Speaker’s blog.

And so I have a dilemma. Should these people have been fired? Is it good for people to get fired? Or would it be better for them to have not been fired?
I do know that being fired is a painful experience. It causes disruptions in life, creates stress due to the uncertainty of the future, and surfaces many dissatisfactions.

I know a large number of people who are life coaches who don’t even have mentors themselves. I think this is pretty irrational, because I seek out a small group of people who can then mentor me and keep me on my toes.
If you’re wondering how in the heck you find such people, I’d suggest you pick up NLP. Since NLP is all about the process of modeling, it will open you up to see who could be a suitable role model and mentor for you.

Okay – this may seem to be a bit of a shift in territory to most of the regular readers. After all, what has forgiveness got to do with NLP?
Well, if you remember the things I’ve been emphasizing, NLP is a modeling methodology. Forgiveness is a cognitive and behavioral pattern that can be repeated, and while most people see no need to forgive, I think that is probably not true.
I’ll take the concept of ‘responsibility’. Not many people actually know what to do when disappointment hits them. Sometimes, we are disappointed by people, sometimes by ourselves. In many of my seminars, I teach people the concept of taking responsibility, and it gets mixed up with two things.
