Problems? Get Busy . . .

We all have situations in our lives that hit us upside the head and knock us flat. When this happens, we have lots of inclinations. Don't let hiding and shrinking from life be one of them. Get busy like a busy bee.

When you face a tough struggle, learn to compartmentalize the issue into the rest of your life. Sure, you need to pay attention to the "issue" or it will fester and become a bigger problem, but you also need to do the laundry, pay the bills, and make some dinner. You need to run your company, be a leader and turn a profit.

Structure your issue into your day. Schedule time to think about the issue and take action if you can and then set it aside. Give equal time to things that are good and working so it is all in harmony.

It's The Climb

Who knew a grown woman would be a Miley Cyrus fan? I am the biggest fan of her new song, The Climb. It is my current inspiration when I am motivating myself to what I want to be, do and have. It is my ringtone on my cell and I have listened to the video at least once today. Out of the mouth of a sweet 16, comes the words I need to persevere.

"Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose" she sings. That's the truth. Sometimes it isn't going to go your way. Sometimes it feels like what you want is so out of reach and your "faith gets shaken". People shake you, situations shake you, unforeseen circumstances shake you. It's OK to get knocked down.

Kimberly Archie, founder of the National Cheer Safety Foundation and a girlfriend of mine, told me that "it's called the fire and your true self gets stronger when it's hot and very good things always happens right after that. So watch out for good things ahead!" What great advice.

I hope you enjoy this video and remember, it's the climb . . .
