Nothing stopped Jesus from preaching the message. Along Jesus' journey during his ministry he face many up's and down's. Acceptance to rejection was the reality he might face any given day. Yet through the waves of humankinds sins and the reality that was created because of it Jesus continued walk through it all to be a rock of stability and strength. No matter how good or bad the circumstances in Jesus life he remained the same which was always an ambassidor of love and righteousness.
Everyday we are face with the same circumstances Jesus faced. Yet in our extreme up's and down's are we focused on the divine appointments God has placed in our lives or are we missing huge opportunities for Kingdom gain whether its connections with others or financial resources we need for our journey yet because of our extremes we forget to ask?
Joy is the ultimate state of being yet always remembering we are living in a fallen world with much work to be accomplished to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Keeping cool headed in constant discernment is key in order to constantly keep moving the mission forward. Sure we will all face up's and down's yet the down can be brought up much quicker by keeping this kingdom principal in mind as our lows are much shorter and our up's are opportunities to uplift others in a manner that we are constantly building the Kingdom of God as Jesus did during his own life.
Jesus' stayed on plan, are you?
If not now, then when?

He continued according to plan, traveled to town after town, village after village, preaching God's kingdom, spreading the Message. The Twelve were with him. There were also some women in their company who had been healed of various evil afflictions and illnesses: Mary, the one called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's manager; and Susanna-along with many others who used their considerable means to provide for the company.
