The ability to overlook life’s many challenges is what determines our growth. Everyone has their cross to bear, some more burdensome than others, and the key is to find ways to manage our stress or simply take our minds off our issues when a solution is not always readily available.
People cope using a myriad of outlets, some good and others…dubious in nature. Ideally, we should attempt to work out solutions that allow us the best case outcome or the closest thing to it.
