What keeps your head in the game…what gives you staying power for life? Surely you have a re-focusing tool that helps you get back on track when life seems to want to pull you off the rails. Something tried and true for you may not work for your friend or family member…but, whatever it is…keep applying it. You may be able to re-align yourself from a small ambush in your day by listening to music, or taking a walk. The bigger issues you grapple with take more of a concerted effort to deal with and overcome. In these situations, you probably chat with a friend, seeking their listening ear and comforting counsel. If these don’t seem to remedy your situation or get your head back in the game well enough…there are always great resources in books and counselors to call upon for your specific needs. And not to be overlooked, is the assumption that you have learned to lean upon God for sustaining power and provision for all you need. The sweetest continual staying power is found in meaningful connections with friends and family…not necessarily all in physical reach daily…but who believe in you, love you, and who are involved in your life!!
