Why Getting Fired / Laid Off CAN BE A GOOD THING 😱

So in this video, I'm going to tell you exactly why being fired could be the greatest thing that ever happened to you, or it could be the absolute worst thing that ever happened to you. But the kicker is that you get to choose that, so stay tuned. Most people believe that getting fired is a bad thing, and I understand why this seems that way initially, but thinking about it this way could majorly hurt your chances of getting another job quickly. And ultimately succeeding in your career and doing even better than you were before. So I understand why you might be feeling down after you're fired. That is a normal reaction. However, if being fired was a bad thing in every single case, then everyone that got fired would be depressed with no money, sitting at home feeling sorry for themselves, eating chips. But the truth is that many people who have been fired have gone on to achieve even greater positions at even greater pay. And they have looked back to say, this was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. So let me explain the difference between the people who don't do so well after being fired and the people that do even better. The people who don't do so well have the following thought focus after they're fired: I'm screwed. I have no job now. I have no income. I have no money. I have no way to pay my bills. No one wants me. No one's gonna hire me again. I can't get a reference. Blah blah blah. I'm not good enough. All those thoughts, and those thoughts take you down a really negative road where you feel just awful. The people that do even better after they're fired think to themselves a little bit differently, and they think more like this: I'm free. I can do whatever I want now. I hated that job anyway. This is exactly The kick in the pants that I needed to do what I really want to do now. I'm no longer tied to that place. All those things that were stressing me out don't matter anymore. Woohoo! Okay, so that's the 2 different ways you can choose to look at your situation, which was getting fired. And whether you choose to look at it like the first person or the second person will completely control what you do next, because What you think about what your situation— how you see your situation and what you think about controls how you feel about it. And then how you feel about it controls what actions you're going to take and what results you're going to get from those actions. So the person thinking the first set of thoughts, they probably aren't going to do much because they're going to be feeling down. They're going to be feeling sad. They're going to be feeling all those feelings that make them want to sit on the couch watch Netflix and eat a tub of ice cream. If you are choosing to think in that first way, then your actions are going to reflect that. If you're choosing to think in the second way, then you will probably be feeling excited and driven to do something different. Those thoughts are going to lead you to moving in the right direction and taking action, the action that you need to take to be that person who ends up in an even better place.
