It happens to all of us

We all have those moments, days, weeks.  Where we just don't know which way to turn, or really don't care.  Those moments when we wonder why, is it worth it, does it really matter?  You know those times when we see where we are going but can't figure out how to take that next step even though we have the map right in front of us.

That's the time when what we are doing, or should be doing, matter the most.  That's when we either dig deep and demand greatness out of ourselves, or when we need to reach out for a hand.  There is always a way, but you have to see that you have gotten to that point, and then do something about it.

I know I have not been the same since the spring, hell a lot of my life has not been the same as it was, but life never is, as it is constantly changing.  Life does not stop.

So what to do about it.  There are many different things people call it; "buck up", "dig deep", "cowboy up", "focus", "move on", but there is one that resonates in my head "Own Your Life".  Now I know I have said it before, and we have heard others say it all the time.  Sure it sounds easy, but it takes work.  Just like everything, if you want something you have to work at it.

We all will fall down, and we will get up, but once we get up what you do next is key.  Do you turn and walk away, do you keep going in the same direction, do you go around, over or thru?  That is something only you can decide.  Keep moving forward is something decided by the direction we are going in.  But going back to do the same things we have always done is not forward.  If we never learn from our past we will never move forward.  Everything happens for a reason, a lesson, it is part of who you are and where you are.  But what you do decides where you will go.

Something my mentor/friend-DDP says quite often... "you can't fake gravity", well that holds true to everyday life as well.  We are gonna fall, it will happen, and there is nothing we can do to stop it.  But what we do after the fall will make us stronger or weaker.  Never give up, but also don't make the same missteps that led you

to the fall.

We learn a lot about ourselves when we do fall, but there is more to learn when we pick ourselves back up.

So wherever you are GET UP, someone loves you, and believes in you.
