Deal With It!

Life goes on from the day it starts.  People are born and people die but the race keeps going.  For a period of time, things go smoothly and sometimes we fall and stumble.    There are many successful people in the world.  There are also far more failures walking around.  Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and a head start in life.  Others have to begin from scratch and fall a few times before they make it or not.  To see if you are a success you must make an attempt at whatever it is you like in life.  

Everyday when I walk there are all kinds of people around in the upper middle and lower classes.  Every person has problems and they each deal with them differently.  The key is not to let the down turns of life keep you depressed.  My wife tells me something that makes sense and I like, "the too, too bad and the too, too good do not last too, too long".  

The point is to savor the good moments and do not let the bad moments take up too much of your memory because everything is temporary.  An apple can be eaten with or without the peel.  If you are given too many lemons you should make lemonade.
You are in a restaurant and order a steak medium rare and the waiter brings it to you, well done, the choice is eat it or send it back, definitely eat it.  If you send the steak back to the kitchen chances are it is going to take time out of your schedule and it still will not be the way you want it.  When you go out to dinner with someone, most of the time it is not about the food, it is about the person you with and subject matter of conversation during the meeting (business or pleasure).

I remember being a youth and visiting an aunt in Greece, the country of my ancestry.  Whenever she would invite me over to her house, she would say, "Louis, what can I offer you? I do not have much," and I would reply "That is O.K. I am not here for your offerings, I'm here just to see you."  The people of this world are too preoccupied with the what, where,  when, instead of the who and why.  Who you are with and why are you here are keys to positive outcomes in life.

The what, where, when are not as significant and should not be a nuisance in the quest for success.  Deal with it and move on is what I suggest.   Life is too short to dwell on the bad too long.  Any and all stumbles in life should be learning experiences.
