Sometime life throws you for a loop, whether it be personally or in your business and that could be anything.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, we all have those times when we seem like we’re either not moving forward, or something happens that makes you stop and think, “What is it, in life, that is truly important?”

Such was this week. My son’s FRG (Family Readiness Group) leader lost her husband to an IED attack in Afghanistan. When I read the news on Facebook, my heart was broken and I cried for what seemed like two days.

As I write this, I am still just heartbroken and in shock.

This sweet, strong woman, who is our strength during this deployment, who keeps us informed and upbeat, is now was facing the unthinkable that she helps others to get through.

A young woman became a widow, a little boy will grow up without his daddy. The men, including my son, lost a fellow soldier, a hero, a brother in arms.

Step Back and Regroup

Sometimes, you just need to stop, step back and regroup. I had to take some time away from the computer, away from Facebook and away from my business for a couple of days. I needed time to cry for this family.

When ‘life’ happens, business will be there when you get back. Your clients will understand, as will your team. The most important thing you can do is take care of what is most important.

The Gift of Life and Time

Life is a gift, never to be taken for granted. Time is a gift we are all given the same amount of. How are you spending yours?

I truly believe that without all the daily self-development and positive things we read and do, how we react to when ‘life’ happens is how we get through.

There are few other industries, if any, that include self-development as an integrated part of the profession.

My question for you, to think about and post about here, is “What do you do daily for your feeding on your mind?”

What do you read, who do you follow, how do you block out the garbage so that when life happens, you’re able to get through and see the other side?
