Grinning and bearing it is what we do but is it the best thing to do? Can we use the need to stop grinning and bearing it as a boost to change our situation?
There are two perspectives of grinning and bearing it:
- Because there is an end in sight you are “happy to let things play out” until it stops.
- There is no hope of change, so the only option is to grin and bear it.
Grinning and bearing it version one
The first one we have all had experience of. Be it being stuck at an airport or having to attend a function you really don’t want to. Nicci and I had one which went on for a couple of days, when we flew into Nassau in 2007. Little did we know that Hurricane Noel was approaching. It turned out that we had arrived on the last flight into Nassau. The Airport was going to be closed until further notice.
Our overnight stay in Nassau turned into three. Luckily as no one else could get to the island we could stay on at our hotel. The hotel owner was panicking slightly: none of the staff could get to work. So, all the guests mucked in with the food preparation. We grinned and beared it with good humour.
