Murphy and Me: Breaking Free from the Victim

We've all gathered around the dinner table with family and friends and shared our Murphy's Law stories, when what could go wrong did at the worst possible time. In short time our daily routines returned to normal, and recounting those stories made for fun dinner conversation.

But what do we do-and this is truer today during the global economic crisis-when Murphy's Law becomes the new routine? When months, even years later, the break you prayed for never came? Like quicksand, the harder you tried to free yourself from dark corners, closed doors and missed opportunities, the more stuck you became. In time you donned the scarlet letter V on your brow. After all, you'd earned the right. Only then you were more bound in the mire than ever.

There is a way out.

Breaking free is my story.
