Sometimes life knocks you on your ass... get up, get up, get up! ! ! Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.

About This Quote

Life can knock you on your ass. That they are not fun, but that life will always be there to greet you with the challenge of tomorrow. It’s up to you to choose how to greet it. A person may have the mistaken belief that if things are going well they’re not happy.

But they’re not happy because if they were, problems would not make them fall. When problems happen, it is your job to pick themselves up and try again. You can be happy if you are able to deal with problems as they come, because it is in those times that you find yourself rising again.
