Oil drops below $30/bbl and now 4,000 people have just been let go from BP. There are rumors of layoffs everywhere and times can be quite scary.
Here's the thing, don't panic and make rash decisions. Relax and try to find ways to "ride out the storm" by cutting your own living expenses, saving more cash and looking for business opportunities.
If something happens and you get laid off, try not to panic and please realize that every end is also a new beginning. Embrace the changes that occur in your life, welcome them and relax in the knowledge that what matters most in this world are our relationships with others. It's never too late to change your path to a more compassionate and caring path. Look out for each other, help others, comfort them and embrace the changes that manifest in your life. The golden rule has never been more applicable than it is now.
Together we will overcome and thrive. May the spirit of the universe bless you all.
