Sometimes you just have a sucky week. Work sucks, your social life sucks, home is just a pile of suck, and you feel like crap. Time to throw yourself a Pity Party, right? Let’s all just sit around and feel sorry for ourselves!

Or, you could pick yourself up and do something about it because you know life sucks already. How? Why, for starters, you already read my ebook on how to be happy with your life, for one. And, because Think Simple Now has a blockbuster post on how to bounce back from a crappy week:

2. The Ant Philosophy

In some of his speeches, author Jim Rohn often talks about the ant philosophy. Ants are remarkably persistent. If an ant is on its way somewhere, and you place your thumb in its path, the ant instinctively tries to find another way. The ant will try to go over, around, and sometimes through any obstacle. Giving up is never an option.

Have you ever seen an ant come across an obstacle, stop and quit as to say, “Why are things always getting in my way”? Instead, the ant believes that there is a way to continue on the path and it works until it finds it.

When things get tough in our lives, we have to adopt the ant philosophy. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, and letting the obstacle win, we must attempt to find another way to get on the right path. We must be persistent until we reach our destination.

Great stuff. Five solid tips to overcome your problems, and a slightly awkward-looking picture on top of the post, to boot. Check it out!
