Every day in life you are going to be faced with challenges. We all have times when things don't go as well as we would like, and we also have sudden things occur. The more we are doing in life, the more opportunity for challenges. I call this "life happening."
When "Life happens" to you it's important that you spend most of your time trying to solve the issue as opposed to figure out who or what caused it. It is important to know what happened so that you can learn from it and avoid the same issue in the future...but at the moment you realize you have an issue, the MOST important thing you can do is focus on resolving the issue.
Sometimes, this can be difficult because it is quite natural to be upset when something happens or doesn't work out the way we want...and our mind goes to thinking about "how could this happen?" "Who's fault is this?"...of course we don't typically think about ourselves in this...we think about how others caused this....but this is debilitating thinking. It keeps us from doing the most important thing, which is solving the problem!
So first things first...acknowledge the issue, brainstorm the solution possibilities, solve the problem, and then figure out what happened so you can avoid it in the future, or are at least better prepared.
