This morning I went to Mt. Diablo in Northern California for a mountain hike. This is very important in understanding and dealing with this recession. In the mountains you realize that we are not in control of nature and circumstances.
You quickly see that you need to be mentally, physically, and emotionally strong to deal with big hills and inclines as well as long periods of not seeing anyone on your path. It teaches and reinforces humility and courage to stick it out until you finish.
I encourage you to stay strong in this most difficult of times but know that these hills can be climbed successfully.
