[00:00.69]Storms Always Give Way to the Sun

[00:07.87]What is the secret ingredient of tough people

[00:11.66]that enables them to succeed?

[00:13.51]Why do they survive the tough times

[00:16.03]when others are overcome by them?

[00:17.84]Why do they win when other sink?

[00:20.71]The answer is very simple.

[00:23.21]It's all in how they perceive their problems.

[00:25.43]Yes, every living person has problems.

[00:28.42]A problem-free life is an illusion—a mirage 1 in the desert.

[00:32.68]Accept that fact. Every mountain has a peak.

[00:36.02]Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs,

[00:40.17]its peaks and its valleys.

[00:41.97]You may not be able to control the times,

[00:44.72]but you can compose your response.

[00:47.10]You can turn your pain into profanity or into poetry.

[00:51.00]The choice is up to you.

[00:52.85]You may not have chosen your tough time,

[00:55.52]but you can choose how you will react to it.

[00:58.26]For instance, what is the positive reaction to

[01:01.77]a terrible financial setback 2?

[01:03.54]In this situation would it be the positive reaction

[01:06.97]to cop out and run away? Escape through alcohol? No!

[01:10.94]Such negative reactions only produce greater problems

[01:14.00]by promising 3 a temporary “solution” to the pressing problem.

[01:17.48]Your reaction to the problem is the last word!

[01:20.66]What will you let this problem do to you?

[01:23.44]It can make you tender or tough.

[01:25.45]It can make you better or bitter. It all depends on you.

[01:28.73]In the final analysis, the tough people

[01:31.47]who survive the tough times do so

[01:33.44]because they've chosen to react positively 4 to their predicament.

[01:36.83]Tough times never last, but tough people do.

[01:40.13]Tough people stick it out.

[01:42.31]History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan.

[01:46.37]No problem is permanent. Storms always give way to the sun.

[01:51.14]Winter always thaws 6 into springtime.

[01:53.91]Your storm will pass. Your winter will thaw 5.

[01:57.58]Your problem will be solved.
