Creativity and resourcefulness

People who deal best with problems are those who creatively look at all their options instead of getting frustrated. Resourceful people look at the problem, what they can and can't do about it, and who can help them before they try to find the best solution. Ignoring a problem, spending all your time blaming somebody else, or getting frustrated that things aren't right won't make anything better and may actually make problems worse.

People who concentrate on what they can change tend to be better survivors rather than becoming victims; they can turn bad situations to their advantage, and as a result they can live happier and more productive lives.
