Storms Always Give Way to the Sun
What is the secret ingredient of tough people
that enables them to succeed?
Why do they survive the tough times
when others are overcome by them?
Why do they win when other sink?
The answer is very simple.
It's all in how they perceive their problems.
Yes, every living person has problems.
A problem-free life is an illusion—a mirage in the desert.
Accept that fact. Every mountain has a peak.
Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs,
its peaks and its valleys.
You may not be able to control the times,
but you can compose your response.
You can turn your pain into profanity or into poetry.
The choice is up to you.
You may not have chosen your tough time,
but you can choose how you will react to it.
For instance, what is the positive reaction to
a terrible financial setback?
In this situation would it be the positive reaction
to cop out and run away? Escape through alcohol? No!
Such negative reactions only produce greater problems
by promising a temporary “solution” to the pressing problem.
Your reaction to the problem is the last word!
What will you let this problem do to you?
It can make you tender or tough.
It can make you better or bitter. It all depends on you.
In the final analysis, the tough people
who survive the tough times do so
because they've chosen to react positively to their predicament.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
Tough people stick it out.
History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan.
No problem is permanent. Storms always give way to the sun.
Winter always thaws into springtime.
Your storm will pass. Your winter will thaw.
Your problem will be solved.
