Do you embrace life's problems? When it gets tough, do you get tougher?

Lately it seems that life is filled with oppurtunity for good and bad and of course happy and sad! There are bills that need to be paid and mouths that need to be fed so when times become hard I still try to see the positives. As quickly as I can, I attempt to seek an outlook that would provide for better times like an alternate job, or some saving, or less spending. When problems are thrown my way, instead of dodging them, I embrace them and solve them after some plausible problem solving! So when rent is due or the bills or paid or conflict is thrown your way, do you attempt to flee or do you embrace life's problems? Do you mature from experienced conflict? Do you get tougher?

When life gets tough I try to stay positive. Things will get tough at some point whether we like it or not. But feeling low doesn't help you to cope.That's something I have found out. so I just stay positive and find a way to deal with whatever is happening. Have an amazing day! :)

I choose to embrace it.. and have that good thinking that problems come to be solved as needs come to meet... If we just put our trust to God and claim His promises even the mountains of problems come we can endure and can stand firm in our faith... Experiences teaches me to become strong and even stronger with God...

Just like you i embrace life's problems. I don't run away from it, but try to do my best to beat it, with God's help. And when i know that God is on my side, i just keep going until i become tougher.

You are very blessed to find ways to solve the everyday problems. But there are people who are not so lucky as you are, sometimes not only the financial problems but also relationship that will never be restored no matter how you forgiven the person. And this happens when there is betrayal of trust. Financial problems are more easier to solve, just look around you, maybe there is a fortune hiding somewhere that just needed to be polished to know that it is "real" and to know its worth. Yes, I guess I am tougher now! I need to live not for myself but for my two daughters who simply needs a mother! Oh I guess, there are too dependent on me and they kept on wanting to be close to me so I can't live them yet! Let's all fight on in this difficulties in life and continue glorifying God for guiding us on the right path! God Bless us all!

There are some problems in our life here and there, we can't avoid them.Finding a job I like will be a big problem two years later,as a university student,so I have to prepare for it now and studying hard.Embrace life 's problems is a good idea.

I get tougher and tell myself that I can get through this and everything will be fine.

Problems are going to happen for us all I think. There are just going to be a lot of times there where a lot of things tend to rather compile on us more and more with every little bit of the time. There are just times where many would be some crippling problem to say the very least. I just see it as an opportunity or at the very least, some kind of challenge. Challenges are what are there, not problems. Challenges can make us much stronger. It can breed some character. It can allow us to really rise higher than ever, and it is really just something that is going to put a bit of a smile on my face to see a lot of times. It rather does test a lot of my creativity and how to get out of the circumstances.

right now, i'm facing a major problem in my life. And i can't take the idea of just running away and forget everything off my mind. but I know that i can't choose that option because a lot of people will get hurt especially the one's that i love dearly. anyway about your question, the answer is yes! people do get more tougher because of experience that they have encountered and passed through, the harder the problem was the more tougher you will get when you have made it through. but i think it still depends on that person if it made him or her a better person

You are such a strong person,,, only few people who view life & sorrows in a positive way... For me I always give it a try to embrace or face the problem but their are those which I cannot handle anymore by my own that's the time I find way to escape and seek help from others.... I'm not that tough as you as of now, I know it will take a lot of sacrifices before I become one like you... Of course every downfall experiences help us grow into a better person,,,
