How to Deal with a Difficult Situation - Strategy One - Attitude

Attitude is everything.

No, this is not the typical Pollyanna solution where you think happy thoughts and your problems will dissolve into pink cotton candy air. Nor is it the standard realist mantra that you cannot control what is happening, that you can only control your reaction to what is happening.

Whatever. What if you are faced with barbarian invasion chaos? Pink thoughts will not stave off a barbarian horde. Nor will reacting calmly or logically. Yes, there are instances when both of these strategies will suffice, but in the majority of difficult situations, you really must paint yourself blue and go berserk.

Yes, attitude can be everything. But not today.

My solution for dealing with the current difficult situation is to go into full denial and just not worry about it, today. My mantra for the day is: Why Worry!

Exclamation. Not a question mark.

I'll think happy thoughts and focus on what is in my power to control...tomorrow.

Why Worry!
