You don’t need to be “fine” every second of the day. Struggling doesn’t make you weak; it makes you what you are, human. There will be days when you feel out of sorts, overwhelmed, or unsure. Let that be okay.
You’re allowed to have moments and times when you’re off. You may experience struggles with pain, fatigue, or other issues.
Resilience is not pretending all is well all the time; it is about facing the hard things while still believing in your ability to move through them. If today’s not your best day, that’s okay. Just keep going. Rest if you need to. Reach out if you can. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to be strong every second.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
