Learning or fuming

Whenever we go through a tough time, we tend to fume, to curse and we really do not like it. I do not like tough times. Let us avoid tough times if we can. But somehow they do come.

If a tough time comes you way or you are right now in the middle of one, please read on.

The founder of IKEA had dyslexia and had a terribly tough time in school. When interviewed he thought his business success was thanks to the tough times he had, where he picked up resilience and grit and wisdom. 

Most of the time, when we are more at ease, we can see the lesson we have learned in the toughest of times. I have experiences like that too. I think all of us have. Just if we are in the middle of it, we can choose to fume and curse or try to learn a valuable lesson from it. It is all how we perceive it.
If we curse and fume we may inadvertently prolong the trouble, if we can take a step back and look at it from a bit of a distance, and be aware that no dark lasts forever, we can make the ordeal lighter and perhaps enhance a quick dawn with fine lights of an amazing sunrise.
