“You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.”
Too often, we allow ourselves to sink in misery while we could pull ourselves out of it.
Even though we all face bad days and challenging situations, we can always choose how to deal with these difficulties.
We can accuse others, act like a victim, or even let small situations ruin an entire day. But we can also do the opposite by taking responsibility, accepting that shit happened, and embracing life just the way it is.
How to apply it:
Next time you find yourself in a difficult situation, pause for a moment. Take a few minutes and write down all the different opportunities you have on how to deal with that challenging situation.
Sometimes, structuring different opportunities to solve a problem and approaching it systematically can lead to more relief than anything else.
You can always drown in self-pity and act like a victim. But most of the time, you can also take action and make a change.
Maybe you can call a friend or family member and ask for help? Or ask for professional advice?
And sometimes, a few calm moments, a long walk, or a good cup of coffee with a beloved friend are all we need to find our way back to reality and acknowledge all the beauty of life.

“Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” ― Paulo Coelho
“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.”
“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.”
“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.”
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
“Tears are words that need to be written.”
