In life, there are many times that we look up at our life and wonder how we are ever going to climb out of the hole we have dug for ourselves through either self-inflicted crises or an injury or illness that hinders our ability to work or compete in our given profession.

It is during times like these that the enjoyment factor of life is at its lowest ebb and we must just work through the bad days in the hopes that all our effort will one day pay off…

And, bring us the success that makes all the effort and pain worth it.

In the song, “Bang a Drum,” written by Jon Bon Jovi and sung by Chris Ledoux, there is a lyric that tells the story of getting back on our feet. “Well, I called upon my brother, just the other day. He said, “Jon, I’m gonna die if I don’t start to live again. I work each day and night like clockwork, just tryin’ to make ends meet. Well, I could kick this bad world’s ass if I could just get on my feet.”
