Against the winds of change

We all find ourselves in places in time where things seem a bit well, rough. For me, when times get tough, I commit my mind to a state of positive thinking. Not always easy, but it can be done with a lot of hard work. Perhaps believing in the philosophies of Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tsu and other wise folk helps. Either way, In life we are faced with challenges and sometimes the winds of change are blowing in our face instead of our backs. These times, we need to be ever more resilient and creative with our thinking about how to deal with the changes we are "faced" with. Yes, pun intended. I say to you all; (or perhaps I am the only one reading this) hold fast to your beliefs and take the good with the bad. Then, take the bad and toss it in the trash after you have learnt from it any valuable lessons. Don't hold onto the idea that you are stuck. That's only going to act like quicksand, dragging you down as you struggle to get out. There is light beyond the darkness...
