Tough Times? Shine the Light on Them

There is no doubt these are tough times economically, globally and personally.

How does one handle "tough times"?

Are you like the ostrich and hide your head in the sand and pretend like nothing is happening?

Or are you like the rhinoceros charging through and knocking down anything in its way?

I invite you to become like the eagle and soar through and above them.

Think of it like this. You're at home and the power goes out and you're in the dark.
You get a flashlight or some candles and now the darkness has been illuminated and you are able to see again. Yes, there are some shadows still lurking, but the moment you shine the light on them you can see what the shadows are.

It's no different during "tough times". All one needs to do is turn the light on. Question your thoughts around the challenge you are having, face the fear head on, and reap the benefits as it dissipates in the light.

You are the very answer to the "tough times". You can light the way not just for yourself but for others also.

Robert Schuller's saying of, "Tough Times Don't Last but Tough People Do", holds much truth.

How we handle those days, weeks, months or even years of what seem like the worst of the worst is what can make or break us.

Whether you choose to be like the ostrich, rhinoceros or the eagle, "tough times" will be there and it is up to you how you will handle them.

When they are over, will you still have your head in the sand? Will you be charging through so fast and furiously you won't even see that they are over? Or will you be soaring through and above them?

The choice is yours. "Tough Times"? Shine the light on them.
