ARE YOU AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR JOB?
Fear of change is the ego’s natural
state. Many people also lack
confidence in themselves or their
abilities. Everyone, regardless of
level or competence, has spent, at
least, a little time worrying about
losing their job. This worry often
increases with age and financial &

Focus on that which you can control. You can control your attitude. You can control the
quality of your own individual work and make it the best that it can possibly be. You can
strive for excellence.

downsizing and company failures, many people are becoming afraid that they could become
unemployed.
Recently, I have talked to a number of people who have lost their jobs. I have also been
talking to people who are afraid of getting fired. There is something that I have shared with
both groups.
Someone can take away your job or your current income. While that is certainly something
that is very unpleasant, that is all that they can take away from you. They cannot take away
who you are or what you can do.
Whenever you leave a job, either by your choice, or the company's choice, you take with you
