It is easier to distort our reality than to accept unpleasantries of life. Distorting reality is our way of protecting ourselves from what gives us anxiety. We underestimate our capacities to cope with the unpleasantries of life. If we learn to rely more on our capacity, then our anxiety decreases. We will always have some trepidation initially when confronted by life challenges, but once we’re through on the other side we’re little wiser and little stronger. We know that life isn’t always easy, it just hard for to accept that about life. Life challenges is really opportunities for self-growth.
