When the going gets tough the tough get going!

When the going gets tough the tough get going!

We are living in daunting times as most of us get involved in the 'bloodbath' of the financial markets. This may be an almost 'impossible' time, but I believe that though times are our best times.Lack of resources force us to innovate and come up with solutions that are optimally suited to our times.Tough times are good for our planet, there is less waste and more use of the three R's - Reduce , Repair and Recycle. These are times when you refuse the things you dont really need, reduce the 'clutter' and bring your life to a more 'spiritual perfection' so to speak.

What do we do?

Use this time to do more. Remember you will get good at something you keep doing. Most people who are better than you (at anything) have just spent more time doing, instead of complaining.

Give yourself bigger and better goals. Whatever happens keep a positive attitude. Make sure your self-talk is nuturing and positive.

Encourage yourself, keep doing a little bit everyday towards realizing your dream/s.

Build your network. Lend a helping hand to those who need it. There is no better time than 'bad times' to bring families, friend, teams etc., together.

Rcognize, encourage and be supportive of others efforts. Let no discouraging or negative remark escape your lips.

Tough times motivate us to think out-of-the box or just get rid of the box!

Create an atmosphere that is replete with the positive emotions of love, joy, peace, laughter, courage, compassion. This will nuture creativity and innovation.

Adapt and evolve, nothing lasts, Nothing, especially 'tough times'

This too will pass!!
