The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how problems can help shape their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefits they might bring. Problems shouldn’t be the reason why you admit defeat, they should be the driving force that keeps you going- even when you don’t understand it.

Great quote, Orlando. I read a great book by the Dalai Lama a few months back and Buddist teaching encourages people to give thanks for adversity for the life lessons it teaches. It can hurt like hell and believe me I understand the temptation to run to the hills but it’s very true.
Sorry for the late response Rowena, I was out of the country! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Orlando
You’re welcome, Orlando. Take care xx Rowena
