Sometimes things just don't go well and it's difficult to maintain a positive attitude.

Just remind yourself of that oft proffered advice, this, too, will pass.

Sometimes it's all you can do to even think, let alone think in a direction that will be helpful and so, again, this too will pass.

Our minds are not always our best friends, but they can be. Just as an untrained dog can be troublesome, so too, the untrained mind can be troublesome. If you feel as though you've lost control of your life - or your mind - it just might be time to make a change in the relationship between you and your thinking process.

My mother always used to tell us that, surely, the Universe was unfolding as it should, so how could things be otherwise. That's what I always fall back on and it's always there to catch me...and hold me up. And it is all about training. When things are tough, I know where to look for support inside my head because I've done it again and again and again, even when it seemed counter-intuitive, and it's always turned out to be absolutely true. It's difficult to stay down for long when you know that all is how it should be, no matter how it looks.
