Life is known to knock you back from time to time. Problems are just that, problems, and they often remain if you fail to deal with them.

A factor necessary to adequately deal with your problems is to be resilient. If we hide in defeated agony without our resilience, we fail to accept reality. We fail to push back and to brush ourselves off to live again. It isn’t easy to deal with problems, but it is necessary if we hope to be happy to any degree.

As I often state, it is on us to direct our course. Look inside ourselves first. In the face of adversity and looming problems it is in our favor to get up and live again as we learn a better way.

“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.” — Steve Maraboli —
