One of our colleagues has commented on this post on our linked site - www.facebook.com/2130partners. His approach is that he is riding his tiger and it is empowering him. If he didn't, he is concerned that he would lose velocity in his work. Any thoughts? Thanks John.

The trick is to have the courage to FACE the tiger, which is very different from FIGHTING the tiger. Facing involves staying engaged, listening, standing strong in your own truth, and yet being open to truly hearing the tiger's truth as well. Their 'world' is as valid as yours...

Action is the antidote to feeling down (think-feel-think-feel trap). When that action is sourced in a commitment to have life work for others, it seems to displace the noise in my head. I forget about me and am expanded to being my community. The following quote captures the whole process for me: "This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."

Nothing turns a bad day good like shifting your focus from yourself to helping others. When you feel down is the best time to do for someone else.
