Recently Lost Your Job in International Development?

The Impact of the recent freeze or suspension of US Foreign Aid and what you can do about it

Welcome to the awakened healer blog. You may have lost your job or been furloughed due to the recent freeze or suspension of US Foreign Aid. This is one of many executive orders signed by President Donald Trump when he took over the White House as the 47th President of America. Do not lose heart. I am here to encourage you to look at the flip side and discover how you can survive and recover from the job loss.

While many automatically analyze the huge negative impact of these sweeping changes to how the US has traditionally handled foreign aid, I chose to look at the silver lining. Anything that happens on a mass scale and affects people from across the globe is a major shift in the course in which many lives are going. There is a higher power or force behind the scenes pushing and maneuvering some souls to find the right path.

Past crises periods and how we survived

This is not the first and last time a major shaking of this magnitude has occurred. We have not forgotten the major life-changing impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the COVID-19 era and the recent shutdown on US foreign aid. This is all part of the grand awakening scheme and those who take advantage of this transitional phase to take stock of their lives and make the necessary changes, will find their lives positively changed when all the dust has settled. Many people who were awakening during the COVID-19 era found themselves leaving the careers they had built over decades to pursue new enriching paths, that they had never thought of. Some started businesses which created employment for multitudes of people and are off the beaten track but very satisfactory and enriching.

You can shift your reality and survive

What you have held onto might not be true at all. The false security of a job, foreign aid or any assistance from a third party can crumble like a deck of cards when the giver changes their mind. Thus, the only security one can have is in identifying your own strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis), then find your true place in this game of life. Once you make use of your own resources to create a self-determined lifestyle and alternative sources of income, nobody can take that away from you on a whim.
