Make Your Comeback


Start Today. Really. Today.

You have had a hard time. Forget that, it has been miserable. Really awful time. Seems like no cared, there was no end to the pain, and criticism went on forever plus a day. Countless times you felt like there would never be an end to the misery. Really sure your life would be like this forever.

I know. Have been there. Not just once. Several times. Taken years to recover from some. Less time for others. Still not recovered from a few. Lost jobs. Someone sort-a stomped on my aorta (more than once). Been a jerk. Been fired. Have days am not proud of, for sure.

While you are suffering in the pits, you feel alone, sad, depressed, frustrated, really frustrated, overwhelmed, and can’t go to sleep. It gets worse, a little better, bad again, too much, catch a little break, and it starts over. Do you know what I mean?

You know what? Am there again. Now. Not sure where to start. Where to go. What to do. What to say. How to even think about it. I’m lost like everyone else going through tough times.

Let’s start. Not kidding. The comeback starts today. Join me.

Be proud of our accomplishments, our good deeds, helping someone and not expecting recognition. We have been a good here and there. There are times you have been great.

We all have something to be grateful for. Health, friends, family, teachers, mentors and just plain nice people are worth being grateful. There is beauty in the world. God is here with us. What can you be grateful for?

The bill you can’t pay right now. The boss you can’t please. Friends who won’t talk to you. Your significant other mad at you. That problem with no answer. Still there. But we don’t have to wallow in our misery. We could, but we don’t have to.

Stand up. Act like you are important. Think well of yourself. You have more talent than you know. How does a healthy & happy person act? Well act like it.

I am applauding your comeback. It took a lot of work, a lot of time, but you got through it. What did you learn? What would you go back and tell yourself?

Start now. You deserve it. Time to get after it. Life demands it.

And bring someone along with us. Success needs to be shared.
