It takes time to process and requires patience to move forward.
It brings out the best in people....and the worst in people.
Sometimes it's drastic and sometimes it's dramatic.
Either way it consumes precious time.
On the other hand:
It slows me down/picks up the pace and requires perseverance to see it through.
It challenges me to choose optimism.....or be a negative nelly.
Sometimes when drastic, it's a wake-up call.
Sometimes its drama helps me become a better person/professional.
Either way it consumes me and makes me tired.
A good tired, of course; for at what seems like the end, I can look back and see the reasons behind it, the reality of it, and the renewed passions because of it.
