dealing with it

I've come to realize that one of the fundamental differences between people are the way they deal and react to adversity and disappointment. There are loads of different ways but ultimately people either say you're strong or weak. Survival of the fittest.
I personally prefer to either communicate to someone about it and let out the frustration - verbally or with the written word, or indulge in some self-analysis and contemplation until I figure out where it or what went wrong and take steps to correct it. Thinking positively and being happy is such a better way to spend time. Life is way too short to wallow in self-misery for any length of time. If you know what's wrong... fix it, do something for gods sake.
"Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement and impossibilities. It is this that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak"
Progress is a good one too. Why stay stationary when you can continuously improve, adapt, and evolve hopefully for the better.

"Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find that you have crossed the mountain."
People need to remember that they moan over the smallest things and not forget about the bigger picture. Whatever happens to you, there's worse going on in the world and even if you stumble and fall you just have to get back up and keep going until things get better coz if you don't things will never get better.
