Louis Massaro describes Plan B as a temporary, uncomfortable resilience strategy that requires hard choices like selling possessions or accepting financial loss. He lost his house in a short sale and argues that enduring these difficult periods builds strength and makes you a better person.
I had to go to plan B. Plan B is the time. I'm not telling you to go sell all your stuff, but plan B is the time where you take the action. That's very uncomfortable. It was very uncomfortable for me at the time. I wasn't evolved enough yet to understand that, you know, like, my possessions were part of what made me feel successful. Some of you have probably been there before. Maybe you're still there, right? But I went to plan B. And so we got to look at that and we got to understand and we say, you know what, it's temporary, right? Because you come back out of it and what happened? Ruin my credit from not paying my house. Right. Lost that in a short sale. But you go back up, and when you're down here, that's when you build the strength. That's when you overcome the obstacles. And when you're back on top, then you're just a better human for it.
