When the news gets you down or
your personal circumstances seem about to overwhelm you how do you take
refuge? Do you reach for the Scotch, a
donut, roll over and put the pillow over your head, call in sick or otherwise
try to drown out what is upsetting you?
All are temporary solutions as you likely know only too well.
No I don’t have a solution for
you but I do have some consolation.
“This too shall pass” comes to mind.
“No one died” is another placebo to calm your nerves. But at the end of the day knowing your own
strength and reminding yourself that you have nothing to fear if you have the
resolution to stay true to yourself will keep you sane. It will also give you the pride and
additional strength to know that no matter what life throws at you, you are
able to survive because you have faith in yourself. God fearing people will say that it is God
that gets you through and yes, this is true, but it is God that gives one
strength to endure and stay true to the morals, values and principles we have
established for ourselves.
“We do not suddenly become what we do not cooperate in becoming.” William J. Bennett
