Your best response

Sometimes you can get mad at the world and latch onto a bad attitude as a form of punishment. But the main person who gets punished is you.

It’s true that life is regularly unfair and difficult. Yet you won’t help matters by making it more difficult.

Your response to a negative outcome does not have to be negativity. After all, that only makes it worse.

Instead, respond by making yourself a determined and persistent force in a positive direction. Rather than trying in vain to punish the world, seek with renewed energy to lift up yourself and those around you.

You’ve experienced what can go wrong. Use that experience and the motivation it gives you to make something right, valuable, and life affirming.

Instead of allowing adversity to push you down, decide to push firmly in the other direction. Whatever happens, living purposefully and positively is always your best response.
