We are living in a challenging world—loss of loved ones, jobs, and the feeling of some unfairness in life. If we take a moment to reflect on our lives, assess, and review all the challenges we have gone through, we will conclude that we prevailed and succeed.
I have had many challenges in life, as all of us have.
- Being bullied in high school was a challenge for me.
- I have lost so many loved ones (mother, father, brothers, aunts, uncles, dogs, almost a husband, etc.
- I am a dedicated and hard worker and, at one company, was paid 10 thousand less than the next employee with the same title as myself, which made me feel less valued.
I have had many sad days but refused to allow sadness to live in my body or take control of my life.
Challenges will always be a part of our lives, and with each problem:
- We could become mentally stronger.
- We have to believe and know whatever we are going through will pass.
- Learning to feel good will always outweigh feeling bad unless we are gaining more from feeling worse than feeling good.
- Focus on what we are grateful for and what we have at this moment.
- We have to think differently and know when to move on.
- Staying in any one spot too long and we become sidetrack.
What I have learned when working together is, we can:
- Use our energy and thoughts on aiming to improve conditions by creating strategies that could move us to a positive outcome.
- Create systems to implement programs.
- Research laws that could make positive change.
- Establish procedures.
- Lead with positive energy and not with anger.
Often, we have to be better and keep our energy in a positive direction to receive all the good the universe has for us. Through difficulty, I always say, “This too Shall Pass,” and it does.
This week, try:
- Reaching out by locating someone who has lost a child through cancer and write a letter or post to Facebook, letting them know someone is thinking of them.
- Visit a sick child or send flowers.
As Always, we are stronger together. How will you rise? I am here and listening.
Times are totally different. I am joyful for waking each morning and yet, so difficult to wrap my head around the new world. Thanks for you positive words. Reading your blog is helpful.
Thank you for your support!
Hey Patricia, this is Sherman and I am dealing with a very challenging time right now. My mom is battling cancer right now and she is on hospice, also I just got a 6 month relationship with my High School crush in which she was treated like a Queen. My mom is my backbone and when I had relationships problem she would give me great advice and now its a great challenge for me.
Hello Sherman, first and foremost, My prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for your question.
Visit your mom daily, wrap your arms around her gently with a smile and let her know you love her yesterday, today and always. Thank her for all the support and hard work with raising you and your siblings. Let her know you are grateful for all the strength she demonstrated over the years, and that you are strong, healthy and will continue her legacy.
Your heart will feel sad. Allow the feeling but not hold on to the unpleasant emotions for too long. Replace the sadness with ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES you shared with your mom. Keep happy times close always to stay in a great mental state and know you both shall meet again.
As far as the relationship,
Breakups are not easy, which can trigger sadness and a sense of loss. The daily routine you had with the person is interrupted, and you may fell all the future dreams you had for the relationship are ruined. Think back to the moment you and your highschool sweetheart rekindled the relationship.
What was missing in your life and hers at that moment?
What feelings were both of you trying to replace?
What do you feel she gave you?
Once you answer those questions, know in your heart, A BETTER RELATIONSHIP IS POSSIBLE building trust and excellent communication. You absolutely have to believe without a shadow of a doubt (read that blog) As I always say, everything starts in mind. To receive anything you want, you have to believe it and keep the right feeling for it, and it will appear.
