Doing it bigger isn't always better

I've been high and I've been low. I've experienced working with the best and working with the not so good. I've been the go to guy and I've been the guy people would run from. The point I'm making is people experience ups and downs in life. The ups aren't always guaranteed to be the best experiences but the downs are certainly not always the worse experiences. The fact that we come out of experiences learning something is what we should be thankful for. At least that's the way I view it.

Life is funny sometimes. We set goals and achieve them only to find out that what we've achieved hasn't made us a different person. What's happened is that just more of who we already were began to surface more. Even in times when we didn't achieve our goals, we experienced yet another opportunity to see who were already were. I'm convinced that the cycles of life are designed to bring out the "real" in the real us.

As we are all experiencing this season in the market conditions in our country, we'll all get the opportunity to see who we really are. What we discover or what's uncovered shouldn't be a surprise. Rather we're on top or close to the bottom, the real us will show up. The question is how will we face the world in whatever condition we're in?

If you and I insist on doing things on a big scale, know that their will be times in the valley. Just remember, a mountain top is just an inverted valley. Every time somebody's on the mountain top, there are always others in the valley. This has helped me keep a good perspective about life. No matter where I am in life I always realize as long as I'm walking by faith it doesn't make a difference if I'm on a mountain top or in the valley. I know that I'm never alone because the Bible says that "God would never leave me nor forsake me." I know this to be true and I hope you do to.

Stay blessed,

Ced
