The value of nothing going right

 March 23, 2011

By  Casey Berman

Sometimes things just don’t go well.  Sometimes you’re in a funk.  Things don’t click.  Things don’t gel.  Nothing turns out right.  Things are off.  Sometimes it’s so hard to just practice the daily requirements of the law that you can’t even think about the courage required to leave it. The anxiety about money rears its ugly head.  The insecurity about your life plan comes back in full force.  Everyone around you is doing better than you are.  You can’t shake that miserable cold. Two things to remember.  First, the funk will go away.  You will (still) be able to buy nice things.  You will satisfy your ego.  You will celebrate the success of others.  You will stop coughing. Second, and more importantly, this funk is necessary.  It’s necessary to be smacked around, challenged, called out, reduced.  It’s a threshold moment in the movie we call your life.  It’s your performance during these challenging times that endear you to your ticket paying audience. It is enlightening to judge your character based on how you handle yourself during these times.  It also provides nice clips for a trailer . . .
