Dealing with crisis ....

So what is a crisis to you and how do you treat it?  The equation if you will that creates a crisis is  the event+ response or coping + your definition of the event = the crisis.  The Japanese symbols of danger and opportunity are put together to create the crisis symbol, which I thought was interesting. So it can be said that a crisis is not only danger but also an opportunity and possibly maybe some of our best opportunities. Although we feel that everything may be working against us it could very well be a great blessing in disguise.  So when you are going through a crisis step back for a bit and look at the whole situation. Look at it in a positive manner and see what it is you could learn from that crisis. Do not let the crisis defeat you and your family. Embrace it and if it causes you to fall let it take you where it will but then stand back up and continue forward with a better since of purpose and drive.  How we respond as a family creates the outcome.  Here is a motto for you to have when it comes to a crisis “ This isn’t going to defeat us. We’ll deal with it.”  "You can't control all of the things that happen in your life, but you can control the way you respond to them."
