LIFE, in itself, is uncertain and unpredictable, however life is created for us to enjoy. Surprises and excitements are put in place to spice up our lives. As such, it is never perfect in the way we want. It is just like a pendulum- swings from one direction to the other. At times, it may even swing to the direction that is not our desire or in the opposite direction that we wanted. This is the law of nature.
Both ways are equally good if you look at it from the right perspective. Some of you may still wonder why I say so. This is because if it swings to the direction you want, then you need to congratulate yourself because it indicates that you are taking the right path. However, when it swings against the way you want, then be not too sad about it. This is because it indicates to you that this is not the right path and you need to alter your paths if you still want to pursue the success you want.
By now, you can see clearly why I say you should enjoy both ways and not let issues such as problems, stress, failures, fear and worries to define and control you. Be mindful that it will make you captive and you cannot escape from it, if you are not careful.
Through the years, I have learned life is precious and determined to appreciate every moment of it. As such, make our lives with more spices. This is the way our intended purpose of passing these benefits to our blog readers, in a way to lift you up and let you shine your life like us. We can try all possible means, but to be effective, you have to act on your part. Otherwise, sad to say that no one can help you. We are not rude to you here, but to let you know the truth. Hope you understand our intention.
I must admit that the following sound very familiar to me. I do not know about you. I recalled when I was a child, I cannot wait to be a man. Now, I am a man but sigh for the lost happiness of childhood days at one time. When I was unmarried, I was worried about how to get married. Fortunately, all these are my past and never want to repeat this mistake anymore.
Today, I view life as a journey with challenges along the way. I will live my life with viable solutions to overcome them, just like any sailor who sail their ships in ocean and chose not to anchor it at the harbour because it is never created for that intention in the first place.
However, for those who comprehend that there is a way to deal with those problems, fears, worries and other things that upset them. Then, I congratulate them.
However, I like to share some of tips where you can employ to overcome your problems.
1. Confront Your Problems
What is the best way of solving our problem? Avoiding or escaping problems by using drugs and drinking alcoholic drinks definitely will not help solve problems permanently. The problem will not disappear by itself, until unless you find a way to confront and conquer it, once and for all. Let face it, we won’t be given a problem far beyond our capability. Sometimes delays in facing it may bring greater adverse outcomes.
2. Confide it with a trusted person
Telling it to someone, you are comfortable with and trusted, will ease your problem. You may do so with family, relatives, or friends. Talk it out to someone whom you believe can help you to lighten your burden.
3. Smile and laugh it out
Smiling generally gives positive impact to any person. It cannot solve the problem by itself, but make it much easier to solve problems than for the one who does not smile. Optimism will widen the window of your eyes. Believe that there are no insurmountable problems at all. Trust I, problems that come your way will always have its accompanying solutions. Be more positive and vigilant.
Similarly laughing it out will be another useful way to ease problems. It will also relieve yourself from unnecessary tension/pressure. Otherwise you will be drained out and unnecessarily creating more harm to you. Be mindful that stress is number one silent killer nowadays.
4. Count your blessings
Always count your blessings and not your woes. We need to stay positive no matter what situation we are in. You may think that it is easier said than done. We cannot expect sunny day daily, but we can still enjoy rainy and cloudy days. Be mindful of the saying, “I complained that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” It well illustrates the point that there are people who may be experiencing worse problems compared to what we are experiencing now. So, make good use of the saved complaining time to do something better for yourself. That is our point.
5. Generous in helping of those in need
Making good use of your time in helping other people will bring you happiness. This is an old Chinese saying. This will also make you feel good and be useful to the society which you have been benefiting from. Giving is always better than receiving.
6. Do a review/ reflection when necessary
Obviously, problems come and go. What had caused you to burst into tears towards anger will soon be forgotten tomorrow. When you reflect on your past problems, you will be surprised to find how foolish you are if you continue to be unhappy. You should realize, by now that you can put unhappiness to an end by doing or thinking something else. You can choose to stay happy or be unhappy.
Trust today's discussion is of great assistance to you.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to share with us some of your experience which we may not be aware of.
