You Gotta Be Strong

I see people around me start to crumble. In the emotional strength kind of way. Times are hard for so many people but for the people I work with times are OK. The issue comes in that people are losing their emotional strength. Whether it be because they are listening to the news too much or they are starting to feel sorry for themselves...or maybe it just takes a little more armor to get through the day.

For what ever reason it seems people are making choices that they wouldn't normally. Whether it be to default on a home loan they can afford to calling in sick, just because they need a day off...life right now is separating the strong from the weak. In reading a article about a couple who stopped paying their mortgage because they didn't have to enough money to enjoy their life the way they wanted. So now they have been living free in their home for a year while the bank is scrambling to figure it all out...that way they can go out to dinner to Outback, buy the high cost fuel for the jet boat and go out to the casino's...what the hey??? What happened to people's integrity? What happened to to being strong and weathering the hard times so you can really enjoy the good times???

You gotta be strong. You have to help pick the nation up by just be a person of integrity...you gotta be hard as nails.
