I hate the news media and I am angery at the rising prices of petrol, food, utilities and the government taxes on alcohol. Infact the government is to blame for everything. I struggle to pay my bills now so the future outlook really sucks! What can I do?

Thanks for your submission, rest assured many others share your pain so I hope this response is of benefit to all.

I congratulate you on taking the first step and asking for help that shows a self awareness of your situation. (A Mentors first job.) The next step will be to take action to change things.

Let’s start with your Mindset; if you put all your energy in focusing on what you don’t like then your cup is full and there is no room to accept new ideas and thinking. I suggest a good place to start an improvement in your lifestyle is to work in your immediate centre of influence.

Change the things that you can. Stop watching the news and reading newspapers, if an event is bad enough someone will sure tell you about it. Start doing more of the things that you enjoy.
Make a decision that you will do things differently and look at issues from a different perspective. With regards to your financial stress, calculate how much extra money would actually make a difference in your life. Discover what you enjoy the most and seek out Mentors to show you how to earn some additional income from that activity.

If you feel you don’t have the influence to impact government decisions, then research how you can make a difference or postpone it till the timing is right for you and get on to changing your life now.

Focus to the things in your immediate control. Plan the lifestyle you would like and why. Take action by seeking the Mentors that have the experience and track record of achievement and are dedicated to helping you succeed. Do this and your future will look a lot different.
