Finally, when things do go wrong be careful and take it slowly. Take a few deep breaths, regain your composure, and then act. Unfortunat­ely, we all get the short end of the stick at times. When this happens, know that life doesn’t turn on a dime.

Ups and downs are all part of the puzzle that is life. Taking this approach will make problems run like water off a duck’s back. You’ll need to straighten things out from time to time, but you’ll know it’s not the end of the world. Of course, it’s also a good idea to cross bridges when you come to them rather than worry too much about everything that could go wrong in life!
