Life's Struggles

Some of you read an article in a newspaper, book, blog, here on Facebook and the articles pushes you to re-evaluate your life’s conditions. You wonder how you can turn things around. Sometimes, life hands out circumstances that seem to plague us again and again. At times, situations feel out of our control and it does not matter how frequently we turn our attention away from the coarseness of life, nothing appears to sway events to a more positive outcome. Even intentional mind focus does not make any difference. We cannot help but wonder what else we should be doing as nothing is altering the current conditions.

This is when our inner fortitude can be called upon and provides us with the strength to overcome the onslaught of circumstances that just keep happening. There are periodic times in our life’s course when we are confronted with what seems to be an endless array of adverse conditions and these times test our endurance to the maximum.

Stand tall and rest assured that this period will pass, as one thing that is for certain in life and that is change.

These intermittent struggles are filters that suggest we need to look a little closer at current conditions in our lives and make some alterations. Look at all of the circumstances, as often there are indicators as to what area of life needs adjusting. For example if you are experiencing shortage, these are gauges that suggest that you may be putting too much mental energy into your financial situation. Because of this, we draw more attention on shortage as our focus only serves to amplify any situation in our life. You have to change focus and view your financial situation on a more positive note. Appreciate the fact that you have a place to live, you have food to eat and a place that you can call home.

If even these essentials are threatened, you will need to appreciate that alternate living conditions that are available such as hostiles, a family member’s home or a friend’s home as these can provide you with warm, dry surroundings, even if only temporarily.

If you feel lost and desperate and nothing seems to be moving in the right direction, understand that all life’s circumstances are temporary and your life will shift. When you experience these major challenges in life and eventually move beyond the stress and hurt, you will find that you gained a lot of knowledge and inner strength through the process. Once life runs smooth again and you learn to shift focus, appreciate the conditions in your life. Always remember where you have come from and hold onto the lesson but let go of the experience. The past has prepared you for where you are now, but it is over and done with. To hold on to hurts of the past often produce more pain. Be done with it and let it go!

Move forward with your life with the knowledge that all things will pass and a new beginning waits for you just around the next bend. Keep strong with this understanding and know that often the greater the difficultly, the greater the rewards. Prepare for the next wave of opportunity to come your way and pass on what you have learned, so that when others come under similar conditions, you can aid them through the tough ride.

This is always part of our mission, as all of life is meant to be a shared. We are here to help others and teach by example.
