Change the way you look at difficulties in life.
Every ‘disaster’ in your life is NOT so much a disaster, as a ‘Situation’ waiting for YOU to ‘change’ it. You Say: “But does this apply to MY illness, MY Bills and My drunken husband?” You bet it does. – Andrew Matthews

If I learn to see every disaster as an opportunity to grow, change and adapt, life becomes so much easier to live. When we fight change and challenging situations, we create pain, frustration, and vibrate negativity in our life; thereby manifesting more negativity in our future life.
If we see difficulties as a growth opportunity, life becomes one big learning curve, and I become happier. Why? Because the more I grow, the more I adapt, the more I win against the odds, the stronger I become in living my life. I become more resilient. And, I gain in myself self-confidence that allows me to be my own ‘rock’. Sometimes we get fed up of fighting life.
Our life is not a statue in a museum. We are living and breathing, and this means life will provide us with opportunities to grow.
If I choose to stay in the same place, I become smelly and stagnant!
It’s all about a mindset, I think, that we can see a learning opportunity in a difficult situation. You definitely seem to be good at that. Me, I’m trying to learn.

Oh it took me a while to change my mindset. I didn’t find all situation difficult. But I have worked hard to always see benefit in difficult things. It took me a while to change. You will get there and life will be so much better.. I still trip up sometimes because life gives us new lessons all the time.

I think we are work in progress and that is the best way to be. Always learning and improving, life long. In my humble opinion. Then we are always fresh never stale.

“the only constant in life is change”
So we better take these changes as opportunities to grow instead of falling in the loops of victimizing our selves.
