It is argued by some that it is better to accept a problem or a situation as it is, without trying to make things better. Whereas others believe that the best way to deal with problems is by solving them, improving one’s condition. It is believed, especially in some cultures that our lives have already been written and that we should not fight our destiny. Following

problems are there for a reason, maybe our karma is punishing us and to be able to suffer less, we should simply accept our

for what it is by learning to feel gratitude for what we have and for what is going well, for the simple reason that we are alive. Other people see problems differently than that, they see it as a chance to improve and to become better people. A well as the

think that proems are there for a reason, but they see

For example

, in the

view, an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money could be seen as an unlucky situation that cannot be changed,

because these kinds of people do not believe in themselves and tend to see their

passively, as something out of their control. Following the same example, but seen under the point of view of the
second

group, they would most probably acknowledge the problem and they would look for another job if their current one does not bring happiness nor money. These kinds of people believe more strongly about themselves and they will eventually improve their lives. In my opinion, the

perspective is much more dynamic and it should be preferred over the other one.
Nevertheless
