What's your style for dealing with Adversity?

The media hits us everyday with both good, bad and some challenging messages that reach us sometimes in an adverse way. There is the current wave of politics and where one might stand. There is the natural occurring tragedies of the earth in its evolution to survive. There are beautiful moments that happen mixed in with it all and how one handles holding on to the center of their journey in life is sometimes grace and sometimes it is a style. Today, I spent more time in traffic for a Friday than usual (I don't go into Friday traffic too often) but certain chores were required today. Despite everyone else's desperation for parking spots and urgent passing, I sauntered and took my time. When others looked at me I smiled, and guess what, it was contagious cause I got that reflex response despite whatever kind of day they were having,they smiled back.

Adverse conditions sometimes will demand that you become consumed with the current of others trend's and loose your divinity of journey. This means that in the river or stream you may get swept down stream. If something is telling you that you must push forward then don't give up! Find your style, your manner for fluidity of moving against and through a current that is adverse in the moment. If all is crazy around you, step aside for a moment and lets the crazy go down stream for a moment. You do not have to stand in the middle of a tidal wave because that is what is expected. First rule I taught family when coming into NYC for the first time... step off the train... step into the terminal and move to the wall. Get your bearings on where you are at and then move forward. Don't move with the stream of chaos. The first thing most people have said when meeting me is my smile. More is said with less.

Disney had a recent release a really great movie that stirs the heart.

YES...All ADULTS need to go see this animation no matter how old! No I am not giving a plug for Disney. I put a short clip under Style . It is the official video from Youtube, but only the last few vid moments with Shakira's Song " Try Everything" . A Song that has an anthem for persevering through the difficult journey's and hard paths we face. Don't give up!

Take a look.
