I won't get too personal here. But those who are close to me know that I have been going through a storm of sorts for a while now. That could be an understatement. But still I have the courage to press on.

Why?

My family. My career. My life.

Even when things are not going the greatest in your life, there is always hope for the future. No one knows for sure what will happen in a month, a day, or even in the next second. But one thing is certain. The future will hold both good and bad. I will always embrace the good parts and have the courage to sustain the negative.

As George Custer said: “It's not how many times you get knocked down that count, it's how many times you get back up."

It takes an enormous amount of courage to keep getting up, despite what the world throws at you. But remember that no matter what hurdles are in your path, only you have the power to jump them. Once you do that enough times, you will be a powerful force to reckon with. Use that strength to inspire others and give them the same courage. You will be surprised at the courage your experience can help others find.

I understand completely about how difficult it is to keep getting up when life keeps crushing you down. The nice thing about getting older is that you realize life will not always be the way you think it will be. And, as George Harrison said, "All things must pass."

I feel ya Lyn. Sometimes it takes everything you've got to get up and keep fighting the good fight. I don't know what things you've been facing lately but I do hope that it gets better for you. Keep fighting girl!

Thinking positive is important, even if sometimes it's not easy!
