I was talking this morning to a husband/wife team after they finished about a relative of mine who is going through a "dark" time in their life.
I explained, quite neutral, that while they are commiserating about their particular misfortune I choose NOT to participate in the family's "Pity Party".
I saw the concern on their faces about my callous approach and then explained how the person brings everyone around him "down", making it more difficult to try to be positive (when that's what the person needs most).
How can you motivate a person that just sucked the life out of YOU?
My position has always been and will continue to be, "If you are experiencing (what ever), Do It ANYWAY!"
If you're sick...do it sick
If you're tired...do it tired
If you're injured...do it while injured
If you're depressed...do it depressed
Do it regardless of any excuse you can come up with and by the time you finish doing the objective...well, you might not be in the same condition you were in had you not done it.
Stop your whining (Rule #67) and get to the objective!
Do it any way.
