Every mountain has a peak
What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed?
Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do
they win when others lose? Why do they soar when others sink?
The answer is very simple. It's all in how they perceive their problems. Yes,
every living person has problems. A problem-free life is an illusion-a mirage in
the desert. Accept that fact.
Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups
and downs, its peaks and its valleys. No one is up all the time, nor are they
down all the time. Problems do end. They are all resolved in time.
You may not be able to control the times, but you can compose your response.
You can turn your pain into profanity -or into poetry. The choice is up to you.
You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will react
to it.
For instance, what is the positive reaction to a terrible financial setback?
In this situation would it be the positive reaction to copout and runaway?
Escape through alcohol, drug, or suicide? No! Such negative reactions only
produce greater problems by promising a temporary solution to the pressing
problem.
The positive solution to a problem may require courage to initiate it. When
you control your reaction to the seemingly uncontrollable problem of life, then
in fact you do control the problem's effect on you. Your reaction to the problem
is the last word! That's the bottom line. What will you let this problem do to
you? It can make you tender or tough. It can make you better or bitter. It all
depends on you.
In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so
because they've chosen to react positively to their predicament. Tough times
never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick it out. History teaches us
that every problem has a lifespan.
No problem is permanent. Storms always give way to the sun. Winter always
thaws into springtime. Your storm will pass. Your winter will thaw. Your problem
will be solved.
