We often have difficulty choosing a positive attitude when there is a crisis,a tragedy, or a challenging circumstances. Precisely what we need is a positive attitude and adaptability in the mind-set.
Maintaining a positive attitude in difficult times, demands us to have broad perception and to hang up our erroneous judgments. Our attitude is directly related to our perception and interpretation of events (always in favour of ourselves).
Recognize that all our experiences particularly the most difficult ones – gives us a starting points to learn and to grow in life. It is good to have this understanding during time of crisis. The best way to practice is to use applied faith.

- “Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”Isaiah30:20-21
- “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
- "Consider it pure joy, …… whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
