Who Is Some Who Loves You?

1. Someone who sees best in you.

If you were lucky enough to grow up with healthy parents, you have experienced feeling of having someone who has always looked at your good qualities. Many of us missed that experience. You will be a lucky person if you have found a mate who is always looking at your 'silver lining'. Too often today people are more than willing to judge you by your errors, not by your potential.

2. Someone who gives you benefit of doubt.

There are so many times in your life when you need that little edge, that little opportunity to take just that extra step. It can seem as if your efforts are going nowhere and although you want to keep moving forward, there are so many negatives staring you in face. That person who knows things could go either way for you but takes that leap to believe you will make it is person who is more valuable to you than gold.

3. Someone who watches over you.

You need a guardian angel who is there, waiting to catch you if you fall, ready to help you when you stumble, ready to pave way for you when you cannot get moving. There are people who love you who do just that. There are people who do not make a big deal out of saving your bacon. Do you know who they are?

4. Someone to watch you back.

You never know these days who is waiting to catch you off guard, to make sure you don't do well, to sabotage your efforts. You like to think that people will rejoice when you do well. Many don't. If someone 'has your back' and runs interference for you when you are trying to run gauntlet through life, give that person a big 'thanks' plus lots of your attention.

5. The person who tells you we all make mistakes.

You hate to be around that judgemental, harsh person who reminds you, 'I told you so', when things so south. You don't need anyone else telling you what you already know. On other hand there are people who just let you know that only way any of us learn is through experience. When you have really ended up in dumper and blew it, stay close to one who knows that person who hasn't done anything wrong hasn't done anything much.

6. The person who gives you advice from heart, not from head.

However, it wasn’t long before he realized he was in serious financial difficulty. Actually, he was in trouble before purchase of shop, and added debt put him in way over his head.

Prior to obtaining barbershop, this fellow had several bad business ventures. They were all legitimate. Just bad choices! Generally, they all involved selling, in which he was not exactly a shining star. Oh, he did manage to sell a few things such as his house and his car. It was not quite that bad, but almost.

About same time as business failures and purchase of barbershop, his wife and two daughters were in college. So debts really began to pile up, as pressure became intolerable. Also, fatigue set in because of three jobs he was working so that he could continue to tread water.

The barber/entrepreneur did a couple of things he thought might relieve some immediate pressure. He borrowed on credit cards and from Internal Revenue Service (by not paying estimated taxes). Eventually everything started to come apart, as IRS threatened a tax lien.

For lunch one Saturday barber’s family came to his shop after hours, as they often did. He was so overcome with worry and stress that he verbally threw them out. Then he went home, closed his bedroom door and considered how he might end his life without destroying his family or disappointing his God. As it turned out, only thoughts of God and family keep him from doing unthinkable.

As you might guess, I know fellow’s story so well because I’m fellow. Today, I’m pleased to say that, because I obtained help I needed emotionally and financially, I’m well on way to being completely debt free in few years (except for a home mortgage). And, I lead a happier, fuller life than ever. However, I’ve been left with some lessons I’ll never forget.
