Impact. There are things that happen in our lives that have significantly more impact and affect us more than others. These are the things that affect our ability to think clearly and to see our way into the future. When such events occur it is important to step back and assess the real impact, the potential solutions, and to see how you can change your own behaviour and actions to make the best of the situation and to move ahead. There is an old saying — “when the going gets tough, the tough get going!” So when you are faced with the really adverse situations gather your resources and reset your “determinations meter” to a very high level. Even more essential is to ask for help from all who can assist.

“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me ... You may not realise it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” - Walt Disney
