When the going gets tough

Celebrate.
Yep this is the way forward. Too many people get 'down in the dumps' when things get tough. My feeling is, that this is the time for a party and having it all the more.
Why I hear you ask? Simply, it is because things are only going to get better. If you have hit the wall, then typically you have done so well after you should (we are all quite resilient) and therefore things should have 'bottomed out' on your journey. Therefore the future, as they say, is bright.
Whatever you look at - financial markets, house prices, moods, work performance - they all go in peaks and troughs.
What is difficult is accepting the pendulum when you are in it. Being able to see 'the wood for the trees' and recognising where one is at on the trip is difficult. It is really easy to get too absorbed in ones own situation and not see the wider picture.
The beauty of life is the uncertainty. The willingness to embrace this uncertainty gives us a pulse. We cannot control all things and increasingly as we try to, the peaks and troughs (which will happen regardless) push us to not see 'the wood for the trees' and increases our challenge to enjoy the ride.
So - just in case there is any doubt - I am having a party as things are pretty bad right now.
Hope that it is all better with you and if so, leave me a comment to enable me to then prophesies about the grass being greener.
