The Down Times Test

Many people claimed to be
‘Buy and hold’ investors’
but when the markets took a dive,
the truth came out.
They didn’t hold,
they sold.

Faith is not faith unless it has been tested.
An entrepreneur is not truly an entrepreneur
unless she has gone completely broke
at least once.
A survivor is not a survivor
if she’s only survived happy times.

I could go on
but you get the picture.
If you’re going through tough times right now,
as many of us are,
the upside is
that you’re about to find out
what you REALLY stand for
and who you REALLY are.

Embrace this.
It may be a short term struggle
but, if you learn from it,
it will bring long term happiness.
