Life can be cruel and unfair sometimes. It happens; that’s just life. People get thrown curveballs when they least expect it and are least prepared. Sometimes these unexpected challenges drastically change a person’s life forever. But what can a person do about it? They can hate it and fight it for the rest of their lives being bitter, angry, and resentful, or, they can accept it and move on and make the most of what they’ve got. This does not mean to move on passively, but actively, getting what they want out of life rather than complaining about what they’ve lost.
How a person deals with the situation is important. They can try to make the best of things, make the best of what they have. It is important to make the most of what you’ve got, especially when you have very little. At least with a positive attitude they have a chance of being happy. People have got to realize that there are just some things that they have no control over and can’t change no matter how hard they try. You’ve just got to accept it and make the best of it instead of trying to fight it and getting nowhere. Life is much easier if you let yourself live rather than trying to fight it.
Challenges in life don’t make life any easier, but they don’t make being happy impossible either. Challenges just make enjoying life a little more difficult. You can still come out of it on top and with a smile. You are only defeated once it has gotten the better of you. Life can be a struggle, but it doesn’t have to be. Your attitude determines how difficult your life is; you can make it much more difficult than it has to be.

Smile 🙂 . When was the last time you smiled? That is too long ago. Smile right now, even if you have to fake it. Think about something you like or something funny. Are you smiling yet?
Smile as much as you can. Smile until your cheeks hurt. You’ll feel better and happier if you smile, even if you don’t know why. You are more pleasant to be around when you are smiling.
Smiling is not difficult. Smiling is good for you; smiling is important. Practice it and soon it will be very easy. It will be difficult not to smile.
Make other people smile. I love to make other people smile. It feels good. The best way to get a smile out of someone is to be friendly and compliment them. Try to make everybody you talk to smile. You are more likable when smiling, and even more likable when you make other people smile. They will enjoy your company and want to be around you.
Always be polite and courteous, especially when somebody upsets you. It make be difficult to smile, but try anyways. The time that is most important to smile is when you don’t feel like smiling; it is more important to try to smile when you’re not happy than when you are happy. Try to smile when you’re having a bad day, it may just brighten your day for you.
Have a good day,
Eric 🙂
