It’s a short drive to Crazy
I am sure everyone has at some point in their lives had someone or something…”drive them crazy”. Goodness knows I have. In the last 3 years, the crazy economic environment which we have all witnessed and either become a victim or know someone who has, in many ways driven me a little crazy!
So I started pondering this thought the other day and well……it’s a short drive. On some days I am frankly so much in the midst of it, I am already there. CRAZY…that is.
Sense of humor and perspective is what it is all about.
If there is one thing that I have learned in my life, it is that a sense of humor can help smooth an otherwise very rough day. I was born in November and this morning I read that Scorpios take things way too seriously. Now, I don’t really buy much into all that stuff, but it is interesting that it hit that point, spot on….I do have a tendency to be a tad bit too serious about things, particularly life. So I decided I was going to smile today……a lot and better yet, I was going to make someone else smile. I figured the worst that could happen is I felt a little better and at the very least, the contagion would come back and quite possibly release a whole of bunch of pent-up anxiety and stress. So far so good.
Perspective
The other way I figured might help cope and might be a mechanism that would get me through this craziness is a sense of perspective. Life is full of lessons. They are around every corner and the ability to not only understand those lessons, but 
recognize that the experiences in one’s life has a lesson is one of the essential keys to working one’s way through a particularly stressful situation. Nothing good or bad lasts forever! And no matter how you may think things are, it could always be worse.
I am certain we will come out of this mess just fine, perhaps a little bumped and bruised, but fine nonetheless. For many, the nadir of the crisis has already passed or otherwise is very close….so the trough cannot be that far away. The perspective is we are closer now to an end than we were when we started this journey and the key to getting through it is a smile and knowing it is all part of a process of knowing it will not last forever and of course knowing that I am already a little crazy! 
Stay Sharp, good luck and be well!
Your smiley faced and a little crazy business development guru,
