One of the major complaints in the QSR Quick Service-Fast Food Restaurants Industry is the deplorable Labor Situation. In United States teen labor has become somewhat slim on ethical standards, showing up on time, drug use (both recreational and problematic), work ethic and trainability. Who can we blame? Well we can start by blaming ourselves. What happened? Well it is the latch key kid syndrome, lack of school funding and discipline and many other obvious issues. The ages between 17 and 28 the normal ages of employees of Fast Food Restaurants have a lot to be desired in the inherent customer service realm and desirability for employment.

I had the opportunity to discuss this today with a gentleman who had at one time ran 17 KFCs and finally could not take it anymore and retired. His son picking up the bug is a Manager of a Pizza Place in TN who makes about 50K per year as a manager. Which is pretty good, but that is what needs to be paid out when you find great people. One lady in the Metro area was receiving 5% gross bonus on top of salary and in one of the largest grossing stores in the state and took home 100K per year as a manager. If you look at the current problems in QSRs and we all have seen it, having our hamburgers smashed, or Western Bacon Cheese Burger drowned in special sauce where you could not even tell what was in it. We have all had the food jumbled up, freedom fries upside down spilled in the bag and generally a lackadaisical attitude and disrespect towards us as customers. I assure you folks, this is not what Carl Karcher, Ray Kroc, Tom Monahan had in mind when they built their businesses on reputation and delivery of clean, fast, quality and consistent service and food. No then why is it that a perfect system like this is prostituted and cannot get a good enough laborer to respect the establishment or reputation built on years of public trust, image, brand recognition and good service? Part of the problem is the labor supply.

Sure much of the QSR industry has gone through changes over the years, increased competition, encroachment of franchise companies who were suppose to be on their own team and a myriad of other issues from beef, chicken, paper product costs fluctuations to increased minimum wage laws , OSHA standards, ADA retrofitting and insurance costs for slip and fall. We understand these issues and have found ways to service these QSRs by assisting with out sourced services.

I bring this up because the company I founded sometimes works in this industry, offering cleaning services to these stores since they cannot get the labor to get it done.

Food safety is a huge issue and bacteria are on everyone's mind. When people have less spend able income in their pockets they can afford less fast food. During the last recession many of the QSR owners had slow sales. Some cashed out early others braved the storm, currently with fuel prices up folks have less money in their pocket and opt more often than not to by-pass the fast food restaurant on the way home or make much smaller orders. We will see what happens in the future meanwhile many small companies, which do services will be in high demand. Hopefully these small business service companies can assist these multi-unit franchise owners and Corporate Store owners with the biggest problem of competent and hard working, reliable labor. The issue is also that those small service companies are also challenged for labor. Many QSRs are turning to older folks for their labor supply.

Sane and sensible people strategically survey a situation before making their choices.  If you have any hope of creating a sane and sensible schedule, you need to survey the situation before putting your schedule together. Once you have surveyed the situation, then you can make choices based on what you see.  Let’s use a metaphor here…

My husband and I often go to special buffets on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. From experience (and maybe some wisdom) I have learned that before I start loading my plate up at the first station, I walk around the whole place to see what there is and what I might want. Even if it ALL looks delicious, I can’t eat everything and I don’t want to fill up on turkey if what I really want is prime rib. If I want some of the yummy pasta salad, then I don’t want to load my plate up with cottage cheese and peaches.

Have you ever had the possibilities for your schedule change – almost right before your eyes?  It’s kind of like when you are at a buffet, just when you’re about to put something on your plate, you notice that one of the chefs has brought out a steam tray of something that wasn’t even available before. You then change your mind mid-stream because there is a new option available.

And, just like the chef who brings out a new selection that may impact your choices at a buffet, sometimes you get your day, week, or month planned out – and voila, something new gets added to the mix and you have to change your plans. You have reached a decision point. The decision point is that place where you either do or don’t add something to your schedule.

If you are a glutton for punishment, i.e., having an inordinate amount of appointments, tasks, projects, responsibilities, and other commitments on your plate, then you are probably not making sane and sensible decisions about your schedule. You are just taking whatever comes your way – from others, from your own head, or from any other source. To begin to be more sane & sensible, here are some questions to ask when you’ve reached a decision point:

1. Who is asking?  When you are consciously and carefully putting tasks, appointments, and projects into your schedule, part of the decision-making process should be ‘who is asking me to do this?’  You can make decisions based on that person’s ‘status,’ your relationship with the person, whether you like the person or not and so on.
    

2. Why am I being asked?  If you don’t know the answer to this question, then ask the “asker.”  You can just say, “I’m just wondering, why did you choose me for this?”, or whatever other question would be appropriate to ask.
    

3. Does this move me closer or further away from my goals, objectives, values? You, of course, can’t answer that question unless you know what your goals, objectives, and values are. You need to be clear on what your purposes, intentions, values, and goals are – both professionally and personally – because sometimes, you are asked to add something to your schedule that is out of synch, and adding it to you schedule will NOT be good. To stay with the food metaphor, if someone knows that eating shellfish, peanuts, lima beans, or any other particular food is going to make them sick, then putting them on their plate is NOT good. Scheduling activities and commitments that can make you, maybe not physically ill, but sick with worry, with stress, with conflicted emotions, and so on, is NOT productive. Adding these types of appointment and commitments to your schedule is not being sane and sensible.
    

4. What is the deadline or time frame? There may be items you would like to add to your schedule, but the related deadlines or time frames makes them impossible for you to do. For example, if someone wants you to be a guest speaker for a class, and you already have another commitment that day, at that time, then you must say no. You can not be in two places at once.  Likewise, if the deadline for the project is so short that you couldn’t possibly (or reasonably) get your part done, then you can’t say yes. You might be able to say yes to a portion of project though.  Either way…always find out what the deadline or time frame is before you put an item on your schedule.
    

5. Can anything that is currently there be delegated, postponed, deleted, or moved somewhere else?  There will be times that because of the person who asks, the alignment with your goals, and so forth, you will WANT to add something to your schedule even though there is already too much there. At this point you will have take a good hard look at your schedule to figure out whether you can move something so that you can make time for this new item. If you are adding something that is a high priority, then you will need to move things that are of a lower priority, or delegate them out as much as possible, which is a wise move anyway.
    

6. And finally, the question that you have to ask and answer on a continual basis is: “What do I already have on my plate?”

Getting an ex back is possible even in the most hopeless situation. However, you have to do the right things and avoid all the most common mistakes. Making those mistakes can push your ex further and further away without you knowing it.

Look at it this way. There are couples who do get back together even in the most ridiculous situation. Even some cheaters can get their ex back. Therefore, there is no hopeless situation. A lot of times, it really depend on what you say and what you do that make the difference. In this article, we will just look at the first step you need to take.

First, do you think your situation is hopeless? Why do you think so. Is it because your ex is avoiding you? Is it because he/she is not returning your phone call? Well, here is your first step,

First, if you have been calling your ex over and over again, it is time to stop immediately. You cannot call an ex too many times a day. This will only make your ex feel more irritated. In fact, he/she will see you as someone who is desperate. Desperation is definitely not attractive.

Next, you need to start cutting off contact with your ex. Don’t worry, it is just temporary. Only for a period of about one month. This is really the first step you need to take if he/she has been avoiding you and you have been contacting him/her all this while.

There are some very good reasons why you should cut off all contact.

First, if you have been pestering him/her, the fact that you suddenly stop calling will make him/her curious. He/she may start wondering about you. In a sense, you now become more mysterious to them, which is a good thing.

Second, by cutting all contact, you have the time to settle down. You are probably quite emotional now. You won’t be able to win back your ex if you can’t handle your own emotion. So, take this break as a good opportunity for you to recover from your break up pain.

Third, you are also showing that you respect your ex and that he/she also deserve to have his time and space.

Fourth, by cutting off contact with your ex, you are giving him/her the opportunity to start missing you. You cannot miss someone if he/she keeps on calling you everyday. Therefore, you need to do the opposite of calling everyday, which is not to call at all.

Job loss has just happened to you. Accept that you might feel disoriented for a while. This is totally expected. Don't be too hard on yourself the first weeks after you got laid-off. If you accept the emotional, even traumatic side of lay-off and let it run its course, you will regain your footing most likely much faster than rejecting your emotions.

How to best adjust to your new situation? Three things come to mind: "Do nothing", disengage mentally from your former employer, and enjoy your leisure activities as usual.

"Do nothing"
You might enjoy your morning coffee at 10 am You could walk in your neighborhood at 11 am before watching some mindless TV shows for a good laugh at lunch time. In the afternoon you could catch up on reading the crime novel that has been languishing on your porch. Then you might drive the kids to soccer instead of your spouse. Just be as lazy or as active as you feel like. There is no right or wrong. You relax and get used to your new status as somebody "between jobs" or "starting out in a new direction." In fact, relaxing for a while might be the best method to calm down. At this point, take it easy and don't stress out over the future.

Disengage mentally from your former employer
A great way to disengage from your former employer and let go is to avoid contact with your former co-workers from office, unless they are close friends of yours. You must realize that the old company is now history. Every contact you make, every minute spent commiserating with those who were let go or are still employed there is just extending your agony. Resist the urge to keep your disappointment or anger about your former employer alive and preventing you from moving on fast.

The best thing to do is to "declare victory". You achieve this by saying to yourself that you had a good time at your former employer; you met great people, had a good run, earned fair money, learned a few new tricks … and now you are ready for better things.

Sit on your couch, close your eyes, and review the last months or years at your former employer. Think about the laughs you had, the successful things you made happen at work. Then close this chapter for good. Be content that you had good employment and still have roof and shelter … unlike many others in the world. Count your blessings. Your job is gone, but your life is not ending. You will find another job since you had one before. No need to despair.

Enjoy your leisure activities as usual
There is no reason for you to stop your regular leisure activities. Pursuing what you like in terms of sport, cultural or social activities is even more important now – mixing and mingling, being active. Having continuity in your life should help you regain your emotional balance. Don't stay in your house all day long and hide. Go out and enjoy life as much as you can.

Doing these three activities for one or even a few weeks should help you leave the past behind. Be aware, though, that this period of adjustment should come to an end eventually. There are so many other important activities to pursue after job loss.

Choosing the best paint colors for your home is enough to make anyone crazy! It's just a simple question.

What color should I paint my living room?

But then it turns into:
How do I use different colors in different rooms and still make it all look good together? How do I know I'll like it when I've finished? How long will I like it?

Sheesh !!! There are so many questions and even more options to choose from!

All of this can be intimidating so most people just give up and choose a version of white. It is a neutral, but usually it feels a little less than personable, right?

Well, I have a few suggestions that should help.

We want color! We need color !! Rooms look more inviting because color somehow seems more alive. Zillow posted an article last week that mentioned how homes even sell better when they are painted certain colors. There are lots of choices so we know we can find one that we like, but let's plan it out.

First, gather choices.

There are several sites that will 'help' you pick a color. They show you how many different choices they have and some of them can even show you what it will look like in your room. This really is super helpful, IF you want to figure out how their program works. You can grab a handful of possibilities at a local hardware store, or you can look through magazines or online and save the colors that you like best. These are just to have something to start with. I'll show you how to narrow it down, don't worry.

Second, consider the mood you want in the room. Relaxing? Energizing and uplifting? Socializing?

Then, take a second and consider what you will look like when you are in the room.
I know, this is just a little bit unconventional. But really, do you ever notice that when you take a selfie, you look better with color in your background? Like the blue sky, or flowers, or a maybe a cool red car.

How many of us run around the house, or even outside in the yard to take a quick selfie where the background color of a tree or the sky makes us look better than the boring white bathroom wall? That's because we want to feel and look our best, even in our home. When we feel we are at our best we are happier and recharge from the world much more quickly.

Fourth, figure out which colors complement you personally.

Some people look great in shades of blue, and others look best in shades of orange. It only takes a couple of minutes to find out which color looks best on you.

Some Steps to Help Choose the Best Colors

Step 1 – Figure out which skin tone and hair color you have and then get suggestions of colors that will look best with your particular skin tone. Yes, like cosmetically. These tips will give us a nice variety of colors that we can use as a palette to choose from.

Having this first palette is a great start because it really narrows down the choices.

Step 2 – Now that we know which colors make us look our best, we need to consider the purpose of the room we are painting. This is similar, but slightly different from the mood of the room.

Which room is it, and how do we want to feel when we are in it?

It would be wise to also consider the colors that are already in the furniture upholstery and artwork. We can match those to the nearest shade in our new palette.

Coordinating colors always look 'put together', like we know exactly what we are doing.

Once you know the main colors that make you look best, and match with upholstery or curtains that you like, Adobe has a cool Color Wheel tool. You can take your colors to the wheel and plug them in one at a time and it will show you which colors will complement or coordinate with the one you have chosen.

Just because you love to cook does not mean you like to do so every day. However, it can be difficult to determine where to go when you want someone else to do the cooking. So how do you pick the best restaurants for your situation?

Outing with Kids

If you have kids, you know how stressful it can be to go out to eat. You ask them to behave and most of the time they do. However, there is always a chance that something will go horribly wrong. When selecting the best restaurants to go to with your family, do your homework. Not all places cater to children. Some state this fact plainly, while others are more subtle. Look at the menu online before you go. If there is not a specific children’s menu, it might be in your best interest to skip that establishment if you have a tiny one.

You should be considerate of the staff and other diners while you are there and make sure to bring things to help keep your kids entertained while they wait on dinner. Some family-friendly places will provide crayons and color sheets.

Corporate Dining

Business lunches and dinners are where deals are made and partnerships are formed. Unless it is an informal outing, the best restaurants for you are somewhere quieter and more refined. If you are the host, it is up to you to make all the arrangements, including reservations for the group. Consider fine-dining establishments to treat your guests. You want a place that is willing to present the image you want to convey while not making you feel rushed through the meal. You and your party need time to discuss important business opportunities.

Fine dining is a great idea, however, if you live in an area where bay cruises are an option, you might consider one of these to impress your clients. These dining experiences come with dinner, drinks, and entertainment.

First Date

Going on a first date is stressful. You want to impress your date, but you don’t want to come off as a bit of a snob. When picking the best restaurants for a first date, keep it low key. You probably don’t want to start off with fine-dining, but you don’t want to go to a fast food place either. Select something that is casual and relaxed so the two of you can enjoy your meal together and get to know one another. You may even consider trying something new that neither or you have tasted before.

Introverts

For introverts, going to any dining establishment can be difficult. However, just like everyone else, you want to get out of the kitchen on occasion. The best restaurants tend to be relaxed and comfortable. Going to a nicer, upscale restaurant means the wait staff is exceedingly attentive, which is not something an introvert wants. While it might seem counter-intuitive going to a mid-priced venue where there is a crowd allows you to hide out. The wait staff, while attentive, is busy enough that they are not always at your table. Any extroverts that want to talk will find one another.

There are people who need to resolve their finances in the short term to cover bills or just to have extra money on hand for the necessities – and there are others who want to crank everything up for the long term so that they don’t have to worry about short term money related problems.

This is a bit of a different approach that most would take on their finances – but it really shouldn’t be.

All we are talking about is making long term shifts to your money situation so that short term problems don’t hurt you or come up as often.

It’s pretty simple really – we just shift everything so that we make fewer foolish decisions long term and we have far more money in hand beyond what we need for bills and other necessities that are routine in our finances.

We’re not talking about huge changes here – but that tends to be how people think about their money in the long run; where they have to make big sweeping changes that causes them discomfort and life disruption in some way.

It’s almost never like that, and the fact that a lot of people think that in some way somewhat shows that people just plan for short term finances rather than anything long term – and that’s why it’s just not reasonable for some people to think beyond the current month or week when it comes to planning anything money related.

They are perfectly capable of thinking beyond a month from now – but in terms of their cash and money available – that’s all they can see really, and that sort of thinking will keep them living from paycheck to paycheck and never seeing that small changes now can positively affect the months and years ahead.

It can be a painfully embarrassing situation for some to admit they need some financial help at all – and I don’t mean asking others for money or taking out a loan in some way.

This tends to be about how to manage themselves in the short and long term – some just don’t get how to keep extra cash on hand, and they see their bills as huge insurmountable blocks in their life that can’t be changed or easily managed at times.

That’s technically not the worst way to see their finances – but it also isn’t the best remotely.

They need to see that embracing better long term financial habits in general can take them a long way and that it’s not about worrying about each pay period not bringing in enough cash to pay for anything – that thinking doesn’t help anyone, and that feeling of being low on money constantly will eventually bring them down – and it doesn’t need to be that way.

The spirits can provide a financial intervention for those who just can’t figure their money situations out, and one spirit can help you think about your money in a very particular way so that you don’t have the wrong impression about your finances in general…

Melahel – Enables you to think about your finances in the smartest way possible, seeing all ways you can make everything better while reduces all unnecessary spending; causes you to create the perfect budget that fits your short and long term needs.

The instant that you see that your bills don’t have to be the focus of your financial life – you will see that everything just falls into place and you suddenly have extra money that you can spend on whatever you want.

It’s not that big of a shift to see that the unneeded stuff you buy can be completely cut out and that you can move forward with that extra cash – it all comes about in very unexpected ways sometimes, and often you have hidden sources of cash hidden right in plain sight that you just can’t see.

Sometimes those routine bills we just pay for and don’t think about aren’t even necessary and we don’t remotely have to keep giving away our hard earned money on something that we don’t even need – and that is something that the spirits can show you over time.

This is something our next angel can help with…

Yichuiah – Causes you to reflect of your finances in a way that removes all unnecessary and inefficient spending so that you see more cash freed up each month going forward; enables you to create a far better budget so that you aren’t low on cash anymore.

Another angle of a strong financial situation is being able to make your purchasing decisions wisely so that everything you buy is completely necessary and serves you great benefit – for the short and long term.

Once you have a better budget and more money to use, then you can get to explore wiser spending options so that you have far less buyers remorse and far more long term benefiting decisions.

Each week now becomes a finely crafted spending period where you have no more junk purchases and all your money goes to everything you actually want and need – nothing on stuff that is unneeded or anything that gives you regret.

Though this is not a small thing we’re talking about here – it can come from a very small shift in our we see our money and finances in the long term.

Our financial worry ends up getting eradicated and we won’t need to think about our spending so much on a week to week basis because we have everything covered – but having wiser spending habits is crucial and is needed for a stronger financial life in general, and that’s what the next spirit covers…

Eshaliah – Greatly enhances your spending on a consistent basis so that you are far smarter and wiser with your buying decisions; cuts out all foolish thinking regarding your money life and allows you to embracing far more intelligent spending decisions going forward.

When you have all three of these spirits working on your life, nothing will be the same and you will enjoy far greater financial abundance long term.

These changes might affect your short term money life but overall they will bend and shift your spending and money habits in general so that nothing is ever the same again.

Even if your spending habits aren’t that bad, these spirits will make them a lot better so that you suddenly have extra cash just pop up that likely never thought was possible – and that’s how the spirits can affect our finances and boost our lives long term; through very smart and wise financial decisions that stack up over time.

If you are ready to change your money life for the better – this is it, and the spirits are willing to guide you toward strong finances on term – as long as you are ready and willing to have your entire money situation change for the better.

The term ‘whistleblower’ has been in the news a lot lately and often has an unfairly negative connotation of espionage or betrayal. Certainly the psychological pressure on employees to remain loyal to their employers and not reveal illegal or unfair practices can be very powerful, and the individuals who do expose a wrongdoing should be celebrated and not vilified in most situations – and also protected.

Florida law does offer considerable protection to so-called ‘whistleblowers’ as long as they fit the three definitions under F.S. 448.101-448.105 that spell out what the terms employer, employee, and retaliatory action mean.

Employers and Employees

Under Florida whistleblower law, an employer is defined as any private entity that employs ten or more people, whether an individual, partnership, corporation, or association. Thus the whistleblower laws protect employees of even very small companies or other forms of employer. An employee is defined as an individual who performs services under the control or direction of an employer as defined above in return for wages or other renumeration – this excludes independent contractors.

Retaliation

The primary fear of most whistleblowers is retaliation from their employers, and this is the crux of the statute – protecting legitimate whistleblowers who bring illegal or unethical activities to light at great personal risk. Retaliation is defined in the statues as suffering ‘an adverse personnel action’ from their employers. These actions include demotion, termination, involuntary transfer, reduction in pay, or punitive shift assignment (i.e., being assigned a late-night shift despite clear protest).

Employees who can demonstrate any of these actions subsequent to their whistle blowing activities are entitled under the statute to bring suit against their employers to seek relief. Obviously, proving some of these retaliatory actions is more difficult than others. While termination after revealing employer activities may show a clear cause and effect, a simple shift re-assignment without reduction in pay or benefits may not be so obviously retaliatory. Employees seeking to bring suit under the whistle-blower law must be sure to document their case very carefully in order to demonstrate that employer actions were meant in a punitive way.

The Florida law and other similar laws around the country are designed to both encourage and protect employees who are witnesses to illegal or unethical activities on the part of their employers, but as with any other accusation in a legal framework the burden of proof is on the accuser, and termination or other actions taken by an employer can and have been reinstated by the courts.

" If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul." Rabbi Harold Kushner

Think about a time in your life when you believed "Happily Ever After" was not in the plans. During this time, you may have felt that nothing pleasant was ever going to show up. However, somehow through the struggle, fear and confusion, you found some benefits in your situation. Eventually, things turned around, almost as if by magic, and your life worked itself out.

Here's how it happened to me …

A couple months before my thirtieth birthday, I was struggling with a deep depression. I was comparing my life in a very unfavorable way to that of my friends. They were all married, had beautiful houses, drove nice cars and had cute kids. I thought they had it all and their lives were perfect. I, on the other hand, was dating Mr. "Right-Now," renting a house, leasing a car, and living with my four cats (a recipe for dating disaster, believe me. Have you ever seen the expression on a non-cat person when they discover that you have four cats ? You can almost see their brain picturing the future you: 87 years old with seventy-six cats running around the house. Egads.) Back to my point …

I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I knew I needed to get out of my funk. I decided to have a little talk with myself and asked the question, "What is GOOD about my situation?" It took awhile, but it finally dawned on me: "Wait a minute – I DON'T own a house, I DON'T have kids, I DON'T own a car and I have no husband. These are the BEST times of my life! I am in control of my life – I can do what I want, whenever I want, and I don't have to answer to anyone. Life is good! " (I found out later that my friends thought I had a pretty awesome life to begin with as I did not have all the heavy responsibilities that they had. The grass always seems to be greener on the other side, does it?)

It's been said that nature abhors a vacuum and when you clear the negativity from your outlook, you open yourself up to receiving an influx of positivity. By getting rid of my negative attitude and looking for the positive, I created the vacuum which gave my story a happy ending.

Within three months of my attitude adjustment, the love of my life, Scott, showed up. If I had not cleared the space for him – breaking up with Mr. Right-Now, and appreciating where I was in my life-it might not have happened.

Do you have a tendency to unfavorably compare yourself to others? What do you feel is currently missing in your life that those around you all seem to possess? Think for a minute: Is it possible that you have some things that others would like to have? Are you open to receive what you want?

Start a list of the things that you do have. This may not be easy to do if you have been particularly hard on yourself lately. Be patient with yourself and add to the list as often as possible. Over time, your perspective will begin to shift. You will come to realize the blessings that you have been taken for granted for years. There truly is good in every situation. Know that it takes practice and conscious effort to find it at the beginning of your appreciation practice. It gets easier as you form the habit and your gratefulness will be as natural as your negativity used to be.

Have fun,

Lisa

When you clear away your resentment, envy and / or disappointment in yourself or others, you open the space to receive the people, events and circumstances that you desire to come into your life.

In life, we always get into situations where someone else does something to us that we don’t always like. It can involve a person being lectured or sanctioned in a way that they do not like or it can involve someone else saying something perceived to be an insult. The examples are many and cannot all be listed in this article. What is important is that it is easy to feel wronged and thus, a dilemma comes as to whether to ignore the situation or confront the person to talk it out. This article will focus on ignoring the situation and its pros and cons.

There are many types who would rather choose to avoid confrontation and carry on with their lives and that’s all right. These people are the kinds who realize that they may be getting into a battle that they can’t win or they feel that fighting isn’t worth it because of the possible consequences.

Pros

The biggest advantage of ignoring is that you avoid a potentially disastrous situation and it also gives you an opportunity to reflect on what might have happened if you had chosen to confront the person. This can be a good learning experience for the future and that’s always important. If you do confront a situation and then things get out of hand, you could end up losing a friendship, losing your job, or possibly suffer bodily damage depending on how bad things get. Sometimes in life, you have to pick your battles wisely and realize that confrontation is not always the best way to handle a situation.

Cons

The biggest disadvantage is that you may regret having said something or it may bottle up inside of you because you felt you should have done something. This can lead to an internal battle within yourself about whether you should have spoken up. If left unchecked, could cause internal emotional stress which could affect your health in the long run. You might also question your courage and lose your self-esteem when it comes time to confront a situation which involves someone else. It’s not easy to look within yourself and confirm that you made the right decision so be ready for this possibility.
