The thing is, life is going to happen to you. Sometimes its good, even very good—other times, not so much. I've been through a lot of bad times, which I'm not going to try to compare, but what I'll point out is that I'm still here. You will be too, and if you just keep doing the stuff you're supposed to do, things will get better. Even today, when I've got a relatively stable, enjoyable life, I find myself getting antsy whenever I don't have miles of clear road and good weather obviously in front of me. But if I do what I'm supposed to, things have a way of coming together. I literally walked out of a meeting a couple of months ago with a client who couldn't pay their full bill, wondering how I was going to pay my rent and child support in a month, when I got a random call resulting in a large contract—generated from working my network and a long-standing habit of trying to help other people when I could. The bills will pass, your bank account and health will recover, and good things will happen in good time. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other as best you can.
