“Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.”—Shirley MacLaine
It is all about where we place our attention. Everyday we will be challenged by something we dislike or some unpleasant event that may be affecting our lives. There is not a person in the world who’s without experiencing difficulties. We’re in this together. Some of us have learned how to handle life difficulties better than others. And none of us are perfect; we have all experienced not handling an unpleasant event very well. That’s the part we must accept. We don’t have to be so hard on ourselves but only to learn and grow as we mature.
I rarely handle problem situations well, but I always want to.
