Hong Kong is right at the edge of total collapse. It is enduring what could be its most turbulent week since the protests began in June. Schools have been ordered shut, employees have been urged to work from home and events cancellations are piling up. In mere months, Hong Kong has gone from a growth economy to recession as retail and tourism numbers keep plunging.
The hard part about being pushed to that point of desperation is reeling yourself back in and regaining control.
For it is true - no matter how hard times get, they always, without fail, turn back to better times. I have only to look back on my life to know that.
The greatest happiness and successes are always preceded by challenges. It's the way we're tested to see how much we want something. If we don't want it that much, we'll give up. If we're really determined, we'll see it through. No matter how hard it is.
One of the biggest enemies we face in day-to-day life is that of our own emotions. Desperation, fear, anxiety can drive us to choices for which we will pay later down the road.
I am learning the hard way that sometimes I have to accept the facts that some things just have to run their course, creating new opportunities, building character and providing experience. Situations have a way of working out, and they can do it quicker and better if left alone.
Sometimes the best way to manage a problem is to manage my own meddling. It will certasinly save a lot of heartbreak and tears.
