Getting Better - Not Bitter

"Difficulties in life are intended

to make us better not bitter."

 Dan Reeves, football coach

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Getting Better - Not Bitter 

In times of facing difficulties we will have a choice to make to get better or to become bitter. We will have to determine how we will respond to the difficulties and how we'll resolve it or leave the solutions to someone else.   

When we face difficulties our thinking will determine what we see.   

We can see the difficulties as resolvable and set out to find the best way to resolve the issue and we do. Or we can see the difficulty as overwhelming and without a solution and the outcome will become negitive and frustrated. As a result we become bitter.   

Whatever we see in our thoughts is the way we will approach the difficulties.  

When we see the difficulties as resolvable and resolve the situation our self-confidence grows.  Each accomplishment becomes the stepping stone to our next success.  

Our accomplishments become the foundation for our career and with each success story we get better.

You are correct, Lou,  There are two ways at least to look at any situation, opportunity or problem.  One with with optimism and intelligence or you can move right over all the details and ignore the reality.  And, then there are types of degress in between.  I like the former if I can manage it.

Lou - No matter what the situation better is always better because being bitter will usually get you no where.

Lou,  Bitterness gets us nowhere.  It's a waste of time which is better put, as you say, to working towards our accomplishments.  Thank you for the reminder.
