Life has a way of knocking at your door only to knock you down. The key is to have an attitude of always getting back up again. You have to remember that these types of circumstances will forever be in your life. You will always be faced with some situation, some scenario or other. But your position must remain constant and that is one of focus, persistence, stability of composure.

If you are determined to fulfill your life's purpose and truly walk in your destiny, then the position you choose to take in your life must be one of being an unmovable object and your objectives and goals must persist at the forefront of your mind. You must have the attitude that nothing will move you off of your proverbial square.

You must also realize and understand that life is filled with peaks and valleys, like that of a mountainous range. You will be up one minute and can quickly, easily, be down the next. What makes a tremendous difference and can be the turning point in any and every given scenario is how well you take the situation in bouncing back and the mind set you have in continuing to move forward; how quickly you recover.

Recovery is all about maintaining a level of control over yourself, your mind and your thought process in realizing that loss is not always a bad thing. In life, you will lose things, you will lose relationships. Some intentional, some not. You can always get (more) things back. You can always replace a house, cars, money, things. You may have had people to walk away from you, walk out on you. It may have been for the best or maybe their perception of you and your situation was more than what they could handle. Learn the lessons from every given scenario that has taken place in your life. Make sure to assess every situation properly and to the best of your ability because there is surely more to come and how you handle now will determine the success of what comes your way in the future.
