Part of personal development is knowing how to deal with life when it gets tough. We all know the saying that when the going gets tough, the tough get going, but how many of us actually get going when the going gets tough?
When we are part of the situation, inside of it, it's hard to clear our minds and think of the bigger picture. It's tough to remember that dealing with things like this is a part of growth. Currently, the economy is in the pits. People are losing their jobs, their homes, and hopes. Some have given up.
They forget that it's during times like this that we get the most growth. The reason is we grow when we are challenged. Imagine playing tennis against someone you're 100 times better than. You'll barely improve.
The point is that when things get tough like this, you must get tougher. Use this as mental training and the opportunity to surpass the masses. When people are running for the hills, you must take a stand and face the obstacles head on because only then will you come out of these hard times better than you came in.
I'm not saying things are easy, they're not, but who ever said life is suppose to be easy? As you know, it's full of ups and downs. Currently we're in the down part but realize that the up part is coming. When things get better, you'll be flying instead of just dusting off your pants like everyone else.
This is part of personal development: The ability and willingness to use challenges to grow as a person. Take advantage of it.
