Click here for free wallpaper!Is your crowd helping you be more resilient?It’s the lazy days of summer and feeling a bit lazy myself, it’s taken me a little while to figure out that I’m not really going anywhere. I’m busy enough, but I’m not making progress. In fact, I feel way too busy and way too unproductive. Life is always challenging. Sometimes the challenge is invigorating and sometimes it is draining. When I was younger, I saw every challenge as an opportunity. I believed that if you were smart and worked hard, you would eventually prevail. I was lucky… and naïve. I should have known better. My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer when my mother was 17. She had been sick for four years. Despite that history, it’s taken me 50-some years to learn that not everything can be fixed with hard work and smarts.

 Take a short break and consider the following: “Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.” Richard Bach

It’s no news to you, life is moving faster and faster every day. The new normal is that work starts when you get up (if you’re lucky and no one is calling you from a distant time zone) and ends when you turn out the light for the night. The thing is, it’s not just happening to you, it is now an accepted part of our culture. That acceptance has huge ramifications for how we live our lives. We brag that we work 80 hours/week. Our kids brag about how many activities they’re involved in. No one stops until they drop – LITERALLY!
