Who is your crisis counsellor..

This is a question I asked myself.

I realize there are while there might be many friends and loved ones, there are only a few I would turn to if I had a big emergency.

For example, let’s picture I desperately needed a million bucks for a few days for some weird disaster – who would I ask? (assuming everyone I knew had a million..)

I found I had a list of a few close loved ones whom I would not be ashamed to ask and who I felt wouldn’t say no.

What was amazing to me was that I was in close touch with everyone except the top person (and hence, the most reliable). I knew I could count on this person but never really made the effort to stay in close touch.

That was a big learning. This was the person I needed to stay closest in touch! And I thought it was a powerful exercise – to think of my crisis counsellor..
