Recently, our family received some bad news that will affect all of us. But, guess what, Mr. Bad News? I’ve got bad news for you because you can’t keep us down!

This is the beauty of having a strong relationship with your family. We can circle the wagons and conquer any bad news thrown our way. The Tepera name is filled with pride, so bad news might make us bend for a moment, but you can’t break us.

Now, how many of you received some bad news lately? Have you been diagnosed with a terrible disease? Take on this disease like a prize fighter, make necessary changes and start throwing punches because you got bad news for bad news.

It’s no longer just a physical challenge, you’ve got to take on a new mindset to overcome anything thrown your way.

Have you recently lost a job? Well, this is your wakeup call to chase your dreams. You’ve always wanted to start a different career path, so go for it because you got bad news for bad news.

It might take a little time, but you will soar into a better income and live the life you’ve dreamed about.

Did your longtime relationship just end? Of course, the heartbreak can be unbearable at times, but this is your opportunity to focus on you. Start exercising and eating healthier because this will produce happy endorphins. Spend time alone and do some soul searching and find out you are this amazing person. The person who left you didn’t deserve the beauty you truly possess.

Listen, we all face adversity throughout our lives. It’s the one part of our life’s journey we all share. We can’t always control what happens to us, but we have control on how we respond.

It’s OK to be angry and upset, but it’s also time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. You might get knocked down, but you can’t get knocked out.

Let today be that moment to take a stand because we got bad news for bad news.
