You must choose a positive response to any situation. This is the first action to conquer it.

About This Quote

When you are faced with a negative situation, you have to decide if you are going to respond negatively or positively. For example, if someone has done something wrong to you, it’s easy to get upset and angry, but if you choose to respond positively, you show the other person that they have made a mistake. If someone has done something negative to you, it can be easy to be bitter towards them for whatever reason. If you choose to respond positively though, it helps that person learn from their mistakes and hopefully they won’t do it again.
