The reason i ask this is because there is a high chance people react angry or panic because it takes something away from them they don't have. It's much easier to handle a situation like this if you had saved up some extra money to overcome situations like these. Of course it's never fun to have unexpected costs, but you will be able to handle the situation much easier if you had some extra money set apart for if the moment would come. You would be prepared and it wouldn't influence your entire mood.
A friend of mine once told me that when you lose €10 and you feel shitty about it, you don't give away the rest of your money right? Why when 10 minutes go wrong in a day, people tend to say their entire day is screwed? Why give away all those other seconds, minutes and hours for 10minutes that something went wrong?
The self-esteem bank account
In the world of positive thinking there is a so called 'self-esteem account' It is simply an account that says something about how your mood is and how you much you can take without becoming grumpy or negative. Imagine you have slept very bad the entire week and you have performed really bad at work because you hate the job. Eventually your self-esteem account is very low and even the slightest criticism can bring you down.
Instead you want to make sure you overcome going to bed late and have the discipline to do that. You will gain confidence for doing things disciplined and it will automatically raise your account. So the next time you hear the criticism you can easily handle it and move on instead of turning yourself into a negative mood and let that influence the rest of your day.
People are able to choose whether they want to be positive or negative through the day. Becoming an entrepreneur is a though world and there will be tons of moments you will hesistate about your end goal. If you discipline yourself to always have more self-esteem on your account than goes out, your doing a great job! Life isn't easy so take care of yourself! I believe every single individual out there is capeable of much more then they think they can! I believe in you guys!
Best regards,
