The Wit and Wisdom of David Johnson
Beware the Triple Dip
From the Sep 30, 2025 e-EditionJust like the ocean tides, our lives have an ebb and flow, ups and downs.
Our personal life has ups and downs to it.
Our work life has ups and downs to it.
And our family life has ups and downs.
What you have to be very careful of are those times when all three are going through a down time AT THE SAME TIME.
When that happens, it's important not to make any important decisions (because you're likely to regret them later).
You need to be still, breathe, and get yourself re-centered.
You won't feel the way you feel forever.
Something will change, things will improve.
And you'll be okay.
