Some things in life come at individuals unexpectedly; how
those situations are handled can make a significant difference. Events and
circumstances in life cannot always be controlled. Despite this, people have
the ability control their attitude about the situation they are dealing with.
Being positive and not jumping to conclusions is the best one can do when
dealing with challenging situations. It is not always easy, yet it allows for
the best outcome.
This can be applied to any situation one may be facing:
family trouble, relationships, academics, medical, work or co-worker(s), and
any other situation one can think of. Another great piece of advice I have
learned over the years is to not assume or jump to a conclusion until all the
facts are presented. The worst thing to do is jump to a conclusion, mention it
to someone and have false information roaming around. Sometimes it’s best to
keep things to ourselves until everything, or at least a majority of the facts
are known.
I say all of this from experience. There have been times
where I would receive bad news and would not be the most positive about it and
the only person it would hurt was me. I have also been in situations where all
the facts were not presented before I made a decision or told information to
others that was inaccurate. Even now I am facing several situations that have occurred
unexpectedly, one just this morning that took me by surprise. Despite this my
goal is to remain as positive as I can and not jump to the worst case scenario,
only thinking and planning for the best outcome.
Until next time!
