Thanks for sharing Wilbur – not sure if working on your knee jerk reaction to anger is something you want to work on, but if so, you might want to check out this article:

Agreed: when things go wrong = opportunities for growth

Hi Angela,

Thank you for your comment. What has really helped me to overcome situations that don’t go my way is to understand that it is not personal. Things happen for many reason but rarely if ever does it happen to spite us. It has worked for me so far. I wish you the best of luck.

These articles(especially this one) are truly amazing,I am actually able to understand these! I’ve got to be honest when i say I was easily able to relate to these topics with the personal experiences and the lessons we tend to meet up with. And for that I thank you kindly for highlighting the positive outlooks on things like these, I can never think of anyone who hasn’t had something go wrong in their lives without picturing the DARK CLOUD as you mentioned and the pain of depression.I’m sure glad i found this because i have recently had something that didn’t go the way i planned.I wanted to go to a convention to meet and try to befriend my favorite actor of all time,even though he retired from acting awhile ago,it didn’t stop me from trying to accomplish what i thought would be a big change in my usual actions. So, when i went on their website to check in on their guest list, he appeared to have cancelled…I was devastated when i found out, i could hardly bare the tears…That is when i started getting angry at myself,the workers at the convention,and god which i terribly regret doing..i just couldn’t help but to think someone was laughing at me which made me angrier and much more sensitive about the way i acted, it still hurts me to think about it.I don’t know what final task i would do if i were to choose to give up.Anyway thank you again.

I’m glad that this article was able to help you R Hariharan. Happy New Year and good luck!
