Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. That's life. Deal with it.
The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes the ebb and flow of how life works. It represents the outside forces that act upon us that we have no control over. The only thing we do have control over is how we react to those outside happenings. You can plan something to the absolute tiniest detail and then something else comes along and throws it all out of whack. You could say f**k it, throw in the towel and go cry in a corner or you can say f**k it, factor in the change and revise the plan. The more often you can do this the more you grow in a very good way. But don't sweat it if you can't possibly revise the plan. There are times when the best thing you can do is retreat. I look at down times as a time to go inward to find out about myself. I believe the sudden lack of interest in usual activities and withdrawal from society (aka 'depression') as a necessary function of inner growth. It's kind of a hibernation where we can heal and revise ourselves and the way we see the world. We do that when we're physically injured, why not when we're psychically injured? So whether you're up or whether you're down, it's all good. The wheel keeps turning.
So, where are you right now, up or down? What is going on internally, how are you using this time to grow? Is one part of your life up while another part down? Can you see how the wheel is turning? Let me know, I'm interested in your stories.
