The 2 Best Ways To Overcome Your Struggles in Life

Have you tried embracing your struggles? If we’re going to talk about it every day, we’ll end up complaining and comparing.

Life has a lot of issues either personal, social or financial. We feel uncomfortable with our surroundings every time we struggle. And this tortures us to live a life in pain and regret.

Often we seek aid from someone in a bid to get over our mishaps. But, if I were to ask, you can face all of these single-handedly and use it as a source of strength. Let me show you my process.

Acceptance

There was a man who lost his entire family in a forest fire. Ever since that fateful day, empty bottles surrounded his entire life. He was miserable. Before it happened he had everything from money and power but when it happened he was never been the same again.

One day his cousin went to his house and asked him if he would like to accompany him. He said “No” but his cousin insisted. The man accompanied his cousin and went to a secluded place. As soon as they arrived he saw a fellowship of people and being entertained by someone.

When he saw it, it seems like he wanted to leave. His cousin stopped him and said, “just listen to what he’s about to say”.

He froze when he heard for the first time since the incident happened the word “acceptance”. Then he quoted the words of Anderson Silva, “Life is about how much you can take and keep fighting, how much you can suffer and keep moving forward.”He listened to the whole talk, tears fell, and he realized the truth behind acceptance, moving on, and rising above the struggles.

In life, sometimes we want to give up because of adversities such as losses and failures. God will never leave in times of despair. He will always make a way or use someone to lift you up from melancholy.

Struggles and losses are part of our life. Learning the virtue of acceptance will help us become stronger and let us evolve. We know it's painful and hard but we need to accept it mentally, emotionally, and physically so we could move forward.

Overcoming

There’s no escaping the truth behind our struggles and adversities. We need to look for ways to overcome the struggles that cross our lives. This will help us to revive ourselves and we need to take action if we wanted to face our struggles.

Finding inspiration in your life brings hope and positivity which causes you to persevere. It can be your special someone, family or friends. Remember, you are not alone in your battles.

You are the captain of your own ship. With every wave that hits your ship, you must learn to go across it. Never let yourself drown with those heavy waves that hit you.
