Get the Most Out of a Difficult Situation
Everyone has a friend or two that is difficult. When it's a close relation or someone you see every day - it's worth changing it. Once you're in a difficult situation it's hard not to believe you are stuck. When you think, "But it's true - I have to deal with the fact that it's happening to me" -- then you are making it tough on yourself. Your problem is ONLY stuck BECAUSE you believe it is and that it has to be this way. Once you change how you see it - it will change. Anything you want can be true. How? The "truth" changes as your attitude changes. Prove it to yourself. Learn the simple trick of changing your mind - and you can change anything in your life for the better. Train your mind by FOCUSING on only the outcome you want -- and ignoring what you don't want. Your solution will soon become "true." Might as well get the most out of this situation. Experience this a few times, and you'll have the skill. A Quick Good Fortune Insight: Problems are always about relating to others. The bigger the problem the more profitable the solution. The stress involved is costing everyone - more than the loss of time and money. Good relations are the foundation of success -- you can't be happy -- or successful -- without them.
