I am a positive person. I see a half full glass instead of a half empty glass. And with regards to the daily problems in my life, I consider a problem as a problem if there is a solution to it. But when there is no solution? Then I consider it not a problem. Only when a solution pops up that I will consider it as a problem.

this is a very good way to deal with problems that come up to us from time to time. this kind of attitude erases the stress that problems cause in our lives and strain relationships. i can see now that problems become strenuous becasue it is the attitude that we have in dealing with them.

I agree for both of you. Problems are not given by GOd without solution and its part our daily life so we should not worry that much.Hardships in life exist to test how far we can stand them. Never give up! They are the shadows which will remold us to become stronger than we used to be. Thanks for sharing.

In my life I've met quite a few of difficult situations, for example when my relative fell into serious illness and I was the one to take care of her. When such tough time came, I would unavoidably feel scared or upset at first, and the next thing was I told myself that it was not time for me to indulge myself in that mood all the time and I had to start thinking of the best I should do to help. I also prayed to ask for courage and wisdom fom God. That helped!

when a difficult situation arises, the first thing to do will be to know what it really is, and what will be the best thing to undertake in order to solve it. we can only think of a right solution to a problem if we have a good idea of what it is. then we will lay down our plan in order to be able to effect a way to address it well and good. common problem nowadays involves sickness an money. when someone gets sick in the family, we consult a doctor. if the medications are way above the money i have in hand, i will think of people who can help me with my financial concerns. there will always be people who are willing to help.

in some part of our life we do meet difficult situation, some may be easy to others and some may be really hard. when i'm into difficult situation i just always keep my cool and try very hard to think whats the better to do in that situation and of course the most important thing to do is ask the lord guidance.

Yes I do deal with it I have no choice it won't go away so the only choice that is there is to deal with it I have dealt with a bad marriage for 21 years after 21 years I gave up I was fighting a loosing Battle I am still trying to deal with my Illness that I was diagnosed with 5 years ago the only way to deal with it is by keeping me on Antidepressants, I had to deal with being bullied out of my job when my Boss retired because of my Illness and I was with this Company for 8 years, and the list goes on There are a few things I had to deal with as a Child but I will not go into that but I am still here and making the best of things and dealing with it all I laugh, I cry when I am alone when it all gets to me but I will never show most of the time how I really feel

My first instinct is to pray. I guess the worst crisis I faced recently was when my mother had heart surgery a few months ago. The first thing that comes to mind is to pray and ask others too. Mom is doing great now.

I think problems do have solution in itself then it must be made clear that what is the cause of problem n dont think of its ultimate solution it will get u burst after a short interval. My personal experiece says that problems when gone through lets the reason itself to be cleared out without any tension.

When a problem arises I try to face it head on and charge right through it. If it knocks me down, I get up and make another run at it.

When difficult situation arises, what I do is; I pray and encourage myself. Also I do try to stop myself from having regrets or anything that will hinder me from moving forward, cos I believe that the more we look back, the less we get ahead. Thanks

It's kind of funny that you ask this--my mom and I were exact opposites..if some crises came upon our lives, she was the classic stick her head in the sand and hope the problem would go away...Me...opposite as I came to realize that's not going to solve the problems..I've gone through quite a number of very stressful, nerve wracking episodes in my life,..in fact I'm going through one right now..but to hope the problem will go away on its own is not the answer --you have to take charge of the situation meet it head on..and do something about it!

I just try to deal with eveything head on and not avoid it. If you avoid it, it will just be worse. I have dealt with some incredibly bad things in my life! Won't go into it here, but the best thing to do is just deal with it.

Yes, in our lives we do face many problems and difficulties, so when I come across something that is a problem to me I have to deal with it now it all depends on what the problem is to get around it. You have to sit down with the person if someone is involved in your problem and discuss it to try to make sure that the two sides are understood clearly, sometimes you have to have someone that you know is going to be there to intermit so that the discussion does not get out of hand. always remember life is too short to hold grudges.
