Why is it...

that about the time you think you're on your way, something jumps up and knocks you down?
It seems that way most times in life, everytime we start to see the finish line, somebody goes and moves it!!
I have just had a time like that. Here is how I get through it.
1) Focus on the positives and not the negatives.
When we focus on the negatives sometimes we make them out to be bigger than they really are. Focus on the positives in life, and even though you may have been tripped up, after you wash the mud out of your eyes the view is much better.
2) Get active.
Get out of the same old routine when something comes up and knocks you off your rocker. Do something different, first it will require you to focus your mind on the new thing you are doing, and second it will give you a burst of energy to get you through.
3) Have someone help you.
Go to friend and explain what happened. Sometimes just hearing that you are not alone, and that someone else made it through will give you the strength to finish. Two make light the heavy work of one.
