I will NOT be adding more to this later as I worked it into my post Crashing…
Everyone gets knocked around and eventually we are hit hard enough to be knocked down on our ass. Dealing with these moments is how we define ourselves- will you be strong or weak? The easy answer is to drown. When it’s hard to keep your head above the rapidly rising current, the weak flounder and eventually the fight is washed away from them. But if you keep fighting, the current will dissipate and allow you to reach the coast. You can’t expect rescue. You must save yourself from your own flood- your mind. If you’re lucky, someone may be on the coast willing to give you a hand to help get you out of the water and dried off. Be strong and you’ll find success and lasting happiness.
