The worse thing you can do when you are being challenged is to encircle yourself with other people in trouble who are not afraid of dumping their problems on you. This is a killer! Pity parties accomplish only one thing. Misery! Misery loves company but does not love moving on. Get with positive people who are going forward.

This is especially true during challenging times. You will find yourself swallowed up in another person's troubles and difficult to get away.

Growing older is unavoidable so stop using it as an excuse to feel sorry for yourself or for your situation.

Stay positive yourself because you CHOOSE to be positive.
