Life Happens . When That Happens. Pause.

"Life Happens" is a term used frequently in Life Coaching. In the past two years, life happened a lot, and I needed to stop everything and concentrate on the matter at hand.

Many people who are either following my articles here at WA or my blog posts know that I trade Forex and blog about it. I had to stop for prolonged periods during those past two years.

Those times when severe circumstances come our way to take us away from our productive lives and turn us to concentrate on other life areas for a good amount of time.

Those times are very challenging emotionally in many areas. On one hand, the circumstance itself, and on the other hand, all other life areas that stopped, and the guilt and worry that we feel because of stopping those other areas, including not spending enough time with family members or not being able to give time to focus on work.

In 2022 I got married. In July 2023, father was diagnosed with Cancer. In Dec 2023 he passed away. In July 2024, my wife had a very big car accident, which she miraculously survived relatively unharmed. In August 2024, mother passed away. Extremely harsh years.

Now, my wife and I are preparing to relocate to another country. This means blogging and trading will also be interrupted on several milestones until we can finally settle down in our new location.

Life happens, this is one of the big challenges that we face in our lives and the ability to balance all life areas in such times. While one cannot balance and must give priority, a certain degree of attention to all other areas are needed so as to keep them floating. This is necessary, because if we totally ignore them, they will become an issue later on. This way, one will spend all life in a "Life Happens" situation and a state of continuous urgency and firefighting.

This article is a trial from my side, to keep my contribution in WA floating until the time that I am settled again and in control of my daily routine.
