"Hard times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times create weak people, and weak people create hard times." Ancient historians observed a recurring pattern in civilizations—growth, flourishing, and inevitable decline—driven by an internal decay born of the very comforts that prosperity brings. This cycle is reflected in society’s response to hardship. Adversity forges resilience and strength, leading to periods of prosperity. Yet, as comfort and wealth increase, so does complacency, ultimately breeding weakness and inviting hard times once more. In every era, a new generation must rise, strong enough to confront and overcome these challenges, renewing the cycle of growth. This is a powerful reminder that the strength of a society lies not in its ease, but in its ability to endure, rebuild, and thrive in the face of adversity. Strength emerges from struggle, prosperity breeds fragility, and it is only through hardship, that we rediscover the resilience to rise again.

Love it mike, true- ever since we adopted this psychological, progressive parenting paradigm in the 1960's, with absolutely no evidence it will work, the family has gotten progressively more codependent on each other. I talking about parents codependent on their children to give them affirmation and validity. Think about this, for the first time in western culture a generation(1960's) decided to not raise their children the way they were raised. We have been following the pattern ever since and look at where we are. Many families are hanging in their by a thread at best or flat out chaos at worst. Maybe we should look back in time to see what worked and repeat that pattern. Western culture for centuries used the Biblical model for parent and it was extremely successful in perpetuating culture from generation to generation, until we threw it out and replaced it with the experts progressive, psychological. Look where we are today, two year olds on meds for normal two year old behavior. Just maybe we should look back and see, survival of the future demands it!

Wednesday Wisdom: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” In our professional lives, this timeless principle holds immense value.
