Bounce Back
Whether we like it or not, there are times when we have to endure tough circumstances. Suffering a crushing blow can
erode our faith and attitude. Before long, you can begin feeling tempted to throw in the towel and give up entirely. These
devastating blows can severely impact your ability to cope until you can turn things around and get your life moving in a
positive direction. It is during these tough times that we must look within and find the courage and resolve to get through
life’s challenging moments.
“Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.
Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
– Michael Jordan
An effective way to overcome this negativity is to redirect your and energy in the direction of the activities, people, and
dreams that make your life meaningful. Having something to strive for and accomplish can help pull you through the tough
times. By looking forward, and not backwards, can help you climb out of the deepest depths. Having something to live for
you will find that you can overcome the obstacles and barriers in your way, and put your life back together.
“Never, never, never, never give up.”
- Winston Churchill
Life’s most demanding times will force you to call out your strength and courage. So, if you are going through hell in your
life, just keep going. While going through these tribulations do not forget that you have enough to overcome them. As long
as you keep moving forward you can bounce back from life’s setbacks.
Be kind to yourself this week,
Kevin

Break Free From The Bondage
So many of us live our lives as if we were are trapped, or in bondage, by what life has provided us so far. We work at jobs we don't like, participate in communities that no
longer serve us, or live in places that don’t provide us what we want. We don't have time to learn a new skill or hobby, or return to school in order to enhance our careers. We
are trapped by self-induced fears of failure, or embarrassment.

Out on a Limb
Whenever you take a chance and go out on a limb, you risk the possibility of falling flat on your face. However, in order to enjoy the “fruit” of your labor you have to keep climbing,
and occasionally have the courage to go out on limb. Unfortunately, we often fear the prospect of failing or making a mistake. So rather than climbing the tree, or boldly
reaching for opportunities, too many people elect to remain on the ground where it is perceived to be safe. While staying on the ground may keep you from falling from the tree
it doesn’t prevent you from falling down.

Your Independence Day
So many of us are too busy, distracted, confused, or frustrated, to take advantage of our personal freedom. We don’t take the time to envision a clear direction, develop an
action plan, and do the hard work to pursue our passions in life. Too many people are trapped by debt, stuck in jobs they don’t like, or living a lifestyle that doesn't meet their
needs.

Attitude Makes a Difference
We sometimes fail to recognize just how important out attitude is in overcoming life’s most troubling situations. Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us. It
determines our fate and our future. If we sincerely believe that life is full of abundance, opportunity, and happiness, it will be. With a great attitude there is nothing that can keep
you down or hold you back.

Bend, Don't Break
Getting down on yourself is a normal experience that we go through every now and then. Even the most successful get down from time to time. But, while it is okay to be down,
it is not okay to stay down. Keep in mind that nothing can break you without your permission. And, anything that doesn’t break you can ultimately make you
stronger.

Positively Motivated
To stay positively motivated, begin by examining your core values. This is where so many people struggle. Here is an example: We might state we value being ambitious,
because we “think” we should value ambition, but in reality we actually value relaxing and vacationing more. So, it is important to get real clear your values, and determine what
is most important to you.

The Gremlin Inside
In each of us is an inner voice that is constantly trying to steal our dreams. That inner voice or “gremlin” does not like change and is very critical. It is constantly telling you lie’
s about your abilities and your potential. It is always there to point out your weaknesses, your fears, and your past failures. It takes joy in reinforcing your self-limiting
judgments. The gremlin is there to hold you back and keep you down

While it might not seem fair, life can be filled with disappointment and distress that can leave us downhearted and
depressed. With so many great and memorable moments that life offers us, why do we have to deal with setbacks and
devastating situations that can leave us feeling defeated and overwhelmed?
