Success in One Area Stripped by Failure in Another? The Good Life Survival Guide

So you lost 30 pounds, and before you could celebrate that joy, your marriage challenges sends you BACK to the comfort foods, and BAM!  35 pounds later, that success is forgotten. You finally get your business humming.  Money is coming in, expansion has begun, and BAM! You get a health scare and unable to keep up with the new busy pace of your business, you see that income stream dry up before your eyes. You cut corners, work over-time, give up all form of fun just to pay your credit card off, and BAM!  The car breaks and yes, you need to use the card plus some, to get it running again. These are some of the life examples that happen every day.  Now, some people survive these experiences, and some don't. Those that don't, lose their home, car, lifestyle, neighborhood, maybe even their family - and disappear from their mainstream into a new, lower level of existence. Those that do survive, get through that pain with lessons learned, a bigger resolve, and new strategies.  These survivors leverage the pain into a new life purpose and eventually step up into a new, better quality of life experience. Let's talk surviving the chaos of life, let's talk making sense of the madness, because bad things DO happen to good people.  But good people do not always survive bad things.
