Quotation of the Week


"Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict." -William Ellery Channing



Why do so many people insist on taking the
"poor me" stance?
Why do they play the role of the victim in their own lives?
Why do they crumble under the weight of challenges and hardships?

It's important to realize that challenges, hardships, difficulties, conflicts, and disappointments do not signify the end of the world!

They are simply a part of life. And they always will be.

The happiest, most successful people have come to understand this. They've realized that it's not WHAT happens to you (b/c shitty stuff happens to each and every one of us!), but HOW you deal with it!

So, instead of whimpering about how many problems you have and how hard your life is, why don't you take a step back, take a deep breath, and figure out how to best deal with the situation at hand.

People will be much more apt to be in your presence if you have stories about 'conquering evil' rather than complaints about how much your life sucks.

Honestly. Do yourself and others a favor. Drop the pity party and charge ahead toward those challenges! That's what life is all about!
