“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails constantly to reach my destination. “
Jimmy Dean
I like this quote and I feel the same that you cannot control life but you can control how you deal with it. I feel the best way to deal with adversity is to see all the different angles of the situation and then try to make an altruistic joke.
My favourite art exhibition title joke of mine is: Competing to be the World’s Greatest Grandmother. The only sage advice better than a grandmother’s is that of a great grandmother.
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. Don’t turn around and give up if you run into a wall. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
Michael Jordan
I love this quote about how to overcome adversity. Perseverance is an incredibly important attribute in my books.
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.”
Maya Angelou
I love this quote about thriving and the two most important qualities: are humour and compassion I feel.
I feel when things are getting to serious and stressful in my life I try to think of a joke to lighten the situation and to surrender my anxiety.
In conclusion I feel there is a great connection between overcoming adversity and having an altruistic sense of humour in my life.
