A simple way to overcome that
Do you feel disenchanted with life? Do you wake up every day, teetering on the brink of hopelessness? There might be moments when it looks like the problems in life are too much for anyone to bear. Perhaps your issues range from school difficulties to family conflicts and even friend strains. Maybe somebody you had faith in has betrayed you or a sense of little advancement despite your tireless efforts is making you lose hope. In fact, some days can simply be overwhelming.
A Message of Hope
This is an emotional plea for those who feel like they have reached their lowest point in life. However difficult it may seem, know that these are not your battles alone. No matter how bad things get, there is always a way back to happiness again. It won’t be easy — in fact, it’s likely going to take a considerable amount of hard work on your part. There will be times when you will stumble, question everything, and want to give up completely. But remember that there is an amazing strength within yourself. Even if the going gets tough, keep moving forward. You’ve got this!
Embracing Setbacks and Moving Forward
Struggle to peel yourself out of bed early this morning? No worries. Go easy on yourself and try again tomorrow. Did that entrance exam for the university you’ve always fantasized about not yield the results you had hoped for? What about the job interview you were convinced would catapult your career to new heights? Rejection is painful, but only if you let it be. You have the power to move on and try again. Life isn’t just about the outcomes we achieve. Let’s take, for example, the experience of having a crush. It’s fun to obsess, isn’t it? But it’s not a great feeling when you finally tell them and you’re met with silence or, worse yet, rejection. Some people just shake it off and keep it moving, while others need time to recover. It’s okay to feel like another chance at happiness is slipping away. At these moments, it’s hard not to momentarily question your own worth. Unfortunately, there are infinite scenarios where you will pour your heart, soul, and energy into something, only to come up short. As life has taught us in the past, it doesn’t grant our every wish. There will be detours, roadblocks, and milestones that halt us in our tracks.
Finding Strength Within
Once you realize that you can’t control the external circumstances but you can control your reaction to them, you start to feel this strange sense of relief. Any way you place it, you can see that it is more fulfilling and comforting. The change might not be as vivid at first, but if you keep getting back to it, you will start to notice. Yes, the person you once admired from a distance might seem untouchable now, but that doesn’t mean there is not another wonderful person waiting for you. And so is the case with the dream job or school, if you are not certain that you can make it this time, keep in mind that you will have other opportunities. If it isn’t this one, it may be next time, or the one after. And if it just feels like the weight of the world is too heavy, then I should remind you, sweetheart, that you are not doing this alone. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, even when you can’t see or feel it. One day you won’t have to feel so lost or incomplete anymore. Things will add up. Even the path that looks crooked right now will eventually make sense. It will guide you to where you need to be, maybe not the way you thought it would, but it will.
Rising Above and Moving Forward
And when you start to pick up the pieces of your being, and you will, one day you will look back and appreciate the strength and effort you took every single day to become the person you are now. You will thank yourself for rising above the deceitful whispers of your mind and the whispers of doom that once threatened to shatter your existence. Be happy for your future self. Dedicate that you won’t ever stop until you’ve found and dedicated your time to a purpose that’s much greater than yourself. Know that you aren’t walking on this path alone; seek comfort and support from the people that you call friends. Move towards your aspiration every single day, even when every step seems too heavy to tread. Keep picking up the pieces and never let a setback pull you back so much that you can’t try again. Stand firm on your rights as a human, even if it feels like fighting for yourself is not worth the battle. Do not let the chance to give up win. Fight harder when your spirit feels weak, there is a flicker of the flame within you that cannot be extinguished, so do not let it. Little by little, your light will get brighter. It may only be visible in your eyes at first, but with patience and perseverance, a happy and better you will rise. Take time to rest now and then, but never let go of the fire burning bright within — the fire that wants to keep moving forward.
