Is it just me? Or has this happened to you?

Have you ever had a day where you feel great, you go to the mirror and you wonder why the image there doesn’t match what you feel inside? Often, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but we let our doubts and nit-picks bring us down.

That same can be said when we have high hopes for a book launch and the sales just don’t go as planned. Eventually, they probably will, but today they didn’t and that can be disheartening.

Don’t let those moments bring you down. Realize the valleys are as transient as the mountains, and you just need to keep looking for the silver linings, bright spots, and pearls for which to be grateful.
