We all have problems, but let's not kid ourselves: it's how we deal with them that makes the difference.

Jonathan Harnisch
About This Quote

When people are having problems in their lives, they often want to blame others instead of accepting that there is nothing anyone can do to fix their problems. The best way to deal with problems is to acknowledge that they are real, but to take responsibility for your part in solving them. You can’t control the events that happen to you, but you can control how you act and react to them. People who think this way go on to live happier lives than those who don’t.
