In any confrontation, use the emotionally intelligent six-word phrase: Attack the problem. Not the person.

How lucky I am that my occasional painful emotion of gloom is different from others on this forum who feel depression. The difference is that the depression of those others is one that is innate, that their type is a mental illness which is 24/7. Whereas in my case my gloom or dismay is caused by specific circumstances which can be resolved if I take action and use the resources at my disposal. And sometimes it's because several problems hit me at the same time so I get overwhelmed and feel at my wit's end. At those times when I want to give up, what always enables me to get a grip on myself again is by realizing that some blessings are too precious to be wasted. Actually just one blessing in particular, a blessing which is so great that it's as great as many blessings combined together. At whatever the cost, I have to stay alive because I have to preserve that blessing.

Although I already wrote this in a separate thread but it calls for repeating here too. Look around you and you'll see that the universe is made up of Opposites. Just as we have day and night, we have heaven and hell. But heaven and hell are not separate places. Instead they co-exist at the same time. They are intertwined. It's a fact because we see it all around us. Once we accept and tolerate the pain, then we can appreciate the joy.

Despite unexpected stresses, I try to maintain a decent level of tolerance. Since pain is an Unavoidable part of life, I have to learn to accept it. Because just as the title of my thread declares, I really like Reality. Sometimes, when I feel exceptionally upbeat, I can even say that my reality is even better than fantasy. Because I finally know what causes me the greatest joy that's also do-able in reality. I know it's doable because I've done it several times successfully already. In between those times it's just a matter of practicing patience and perseverance.

EQ meaning emotion quotient. Much more important than IQ.
Those with good Eq understand their emotions and how these emotions affect their thoughts and actions. They’re often reflective, analyzing why they think or behave a certain way.
High Eq allows you to understand other people, how they perceive you, your response to them in the moment, and the relevant ways to interact.
They are mindful of their actions and how these actions affect others.
If you often find yourself introspecting and analyzing your thoughts and actions, it’s a sign that you have high Eq. So high EQ is much more important than IQ.
