Life Challenges

Running out of creative options, during a period of financial strain.

Trying to hang onto life pursuits and goals at the same time challenged by lack of enough financial resources.

Rather than hide, am still trying to find the will to find alternatives to better my circumstances. It's as though being on never ending trial only with no witnesses; apart from me being a self made judge and my own persecutor.

More and more I am becoming to realise that managing or being burdened by finances can become an isolating situation. How many of us actually talk about our financial hardship in detail? How honest are we with ourselves and others?

Financial constraints can also create social exclusion. Most social meeting places nowadays involves meeting in a place where money needs to be spent. For what fun would meeting for a walk, without a beer or wine, meal to accompany the journey be in the long term?

Creativity right? You hear successful business people talk about how they were down on their luck and owing to pursuit and ambition overcame their struggles. Really? 

And the one I like the most, they achieved their stardom without or with minimal financial resources? Really?

I guess I am being cynical, hard to stay motivated, moreover to persevere when there are many obstacles.
