Challenges

Challenges hit us from all over the place: work, health, family, financial and many other places.  It can be difficult especially when the challenges compound one on another.  We can choose to handle these challenges by feeling sorry for ourselves, turtle and ignore the problem or hit them head on and overcome the challenge.


I think a a large part of how one approaches these problems is a product of who we have in our lives.  Are we surrounding ourselves with negative and cynical peoples or positive and forward looking people? It is my experience that the more we focus on what type of people we have in our lives then better lives we have.  If we have positive people around us we will tend to approach challenges in a positive manner.

Many years ago I looked at how I dealt with challenges and I looked at who I surround yourself with. I changed many of the people in my life.  Many were difficult decisions but in hind sight it was right as I found other people to be in my life who were much more positive to my well being and mental state.  And I hope I make their live a little better as well.
