How do you get through struggle?

KlashingColors on Depression, Inspiring, Struggle, God

So, Something happens in your life.. Something bad.. And you think, Whats the Point anymore? So here's my view. If someone says to you, "You can't do it" "you won't be able to," do you believe them, or do you challenge them? In Life, It's almost the same. When Life throws a difficult situation at you, you don't give up. You don't let struggle get the best of you.. you overpower it and turn it into something beautiful. When someone starts trying harder, their heart grows more pure, but when someone gives up, their heart sinks. In Some Situations, you may fall into depression. When depression creeps on you, it's often hard to get rid of, like a street drug. Maybe it will go away on its own, or maybe you have to carry that weight of a dead heart over your shoulders.. But when you find the strength, you leave that weight behind. you leave that hurt in the past. No situation is impossible to overpower... You just have to find the right way to take ahold of it. For me, it was God. My life was turned upside down and twisted around at a young age. For a couple years, i was caught in a deep deression that i could no longer bear, but out of nowhere came an angel in my dreams and told me not to worry because God loves me.. From that night on, I swore i would never let a bad situation take over my soul again. God has always made everyting better for me. God never gives us more than we can handle. & for that, we shouldn't throw away the precious days God has given us by doing foul things. Take your life and shape it into something beautiful because you never know what God has planned for those who deserve it. xoxo -Jeanette Esquivel

Struggles can be hard but they are there to mature us to grow us from one level to the next. What we struggle with in life is to help others in what we just struggle with. If we don't struggle then how can we help someone else?

KlashingColors ∙ 7 Nov, 10

Yeah,Completely.
Struggles make us stronger and when we grow through something, someone else may be going through almost the exact same thing and we can give them a comforting helping hand and honestly say "i know how you feel or what you may feel" Because honestly, i dont think everybody feels the exact same way for a situation.dont exactly know how to say what it is that im trying to say, but good comment. lol. i appreciate it.

WE HAVE TO WAKE UP AND LIVE. Life is challenges. Call it struggles or ill luck or in whatever term. All are actually opportunities to be overcome, one at a time. Watch a baby attempt to roll over. Does the baby give up. How many times in his/ her intital attempts, she rolled over her own arm. Practice made perfect and then came the "swim strokes" on the floor, then the crawl and then attempts to stand and finally the walk and the run. Simultaneously, speech picked up as well. At any time, did that child think that he/she is not going to walk, run or talk. NEVER. That child did not know the word IMPOSSIBLE. The child did not know struggle or difficulties, but knew repeated effort gets results. Repeated efforts gets me what I want. Similarly in adulthood, we simply have to perspire and aspire for results. It may take a little longer with additional effort. It is all there for the taking. Go for it.
We are drowned first by our own mind set limitations and then we allow others to influence and seal that decision. It is our own doing that keeps us where we are.

I completely agree. Thank you for that. You're very great with your words.

ShowMeMama ∙ 11 Nov, 10

I am not going to tell you that I haven't been through some uncomfortable situation, because I have. And believe me it is not easy. But I always tell myself get up, move on and learn from it. I know that their can be moments that you will feel hurt but what will hurt more is thinking about it and that can cause stress. So, I usually pick up the pieces and move forward and just take it one day at a time. It will not be easy but is one good step in the right direction. Most of all make sure you have positive friends around you. That usually helps quite a bit.

Hope that helps a little
Thanks for sharing

KlashingColors ∙ 6 Dec, 10

Keeping Calm is one of the main things im still working on. I've got anxiety so keeping Calm is a big thing for me.

That's wonderful. I think we all need a little bit more struggle. God never gives us more than we can handle so.. yeah

Sometimes theres more to it than just that

Vishal Dharamdas ∙ 1 Jun, 11

You gotta put your head in the game, get focused and kick it!
It's not as easy as it sounds! But the point is to understand your problem and find a solution instead of focusing on the problem.

Cheers!

Everyone has own ways of dealing with life problems. Sometimes those ways seem like slow or without effect, but that's the way each individual has to pass. And overcome.
