When Life Interrupts

When life Interrupts.....

You're going along, living life and it's all calm waters - 

like on the lake on a clear, crisp day.

Then, all of a sudden - you hit a brick wall - 

literally and figuratively!

It can be in the form of a severe illness.

It can be in the form of a work struggle.

It can be in the form of a family situation.

It can be in the form of financial changes.

But that wall still hurts and stops you in your tracks!

Ouch!!!

Bruised and confused, 

you pick yourself back up - 

You have to get back up!

There is simply no other choice!

I love John Lennon's song to his son - 

there is one part where he says 

"Life is What Happens to you

While You're Busy Making Other Plans" 

Very true!

Most of us plan the first of the year right - 

setting goals for life and work - 

plus the tedious time spent

balancing the books to prepare for tax season (and headaches!) 

During all that 'stress' - 

you don't need anything else to derail you!

However, you still find yourself 

Stressing more - sleeping less.

Ranting more - smiling less.

Working harder - playing less.

Going in circles - getting less accomplished.

Be patient  - you still have a long way to go. 

Be encouraged - tomorrow is a chance to begin again.

Be strong - the storm can't last forever.

Be positive - how you speak to yourself.

Be quiet - sometimes just stepping away for a 5 minute walk can totally change your perspective.

Keep the balance - even when life interrupts.

Remember that you have what it takes to endure, 

to succeed and to make a change - 

right inside of you.

No one else will ever be like you.

No one else will ever know what you know.

No one else will make a change like you will!

So, pick yourself up -

brush off the dust and 

get back in the game 

and win!
