If we were all the same, it would be a boring world to live in. So we have our different personalities, values, and experiences and we make our decisions based upon those differences. To make the assumption that all people should act just like or make the same decisions as you is just ridiculous. A person from South America may react differently than a person from Asia. And, if we were to put them up against the same personal challenges, the outcome would probably be very different
The point is, we all have weaknesses, strengths, and internal resources that emerge by the nature of who we are and how we got to who we currently may be. Look toward the strength of your background to get through difficult times. African-Americans had the inner strength or resources to help get them through slavery. By using your resources when faced with day-to-day obstacles, you will be able to overcome personal challenges.
Sometimes, we give in too quickly, when all we needed to do was hold on just a little bit longer. There is a saying in Texas: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes and it will change.” At times, we can compare life’s challenges to this analogy. If you will just hold on, the problem will probably work itself out. Jumping to conclusions, making assumptions and allowing our fears and anxiety to take charge of our thinking only intensifies our perception of problems. So, hold on, use your inner strength and see if some of your problems diffuse themselves.
