There is a saying: "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going." This sounds good to those who are Self-starters, the Optimist, the not too Perplexed or the ones who ignore the problems of the day (hoping that the problems will solve themselves.)
The reality is..... It is not that simple... the key to getting problems solved is that you have to want to tackle them head-on. You have to be willing to fight through the head-winds, the keyword here is 'HEAD.' Let us not sugar sprinkle things with nice slogans, nice phrases, written by people who lived in a different era or are in a different Income bracket. These days problems are tougher, because our lives are tougher and our resources are not enough. Our support groups are all catching Hell themselves so they can't help us. The News is almost always BAD news. So how do you pick yourself up by your bootstraps and keep Trucking?
Start by taking baby steps. Get with people who will encourage you (not depress you with their own Soap-Opera.)
Let’s face it talking about your problems helps.... only if the person listening can bring a positive comment to the mix. For example: I cannot explain it; but when difficulties arise, I am not perplexed or doubtful. I know how to meet them head-on.
Really? How do you do that? The Key is you need to have a 'Quiet mind' which cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at your own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. The storm will pass; the clock will tell you how long it is taking.
Going from -zero to sixty- in problem solving, is not for everyone. Some need to do a tune-up first. Others need to rotate from being in the driver’s seat to becoming a passenger..... (They can't handle the rush at the wheel). So take a few minutes to determine the way you will deal with what is really bothering you, your fear of the problem or how to deal.
Think about the end result that you want to see happen, first, picture in your mind where you will be when the storm lifts, then look at the Clock and the Calendar and create a timeline for yourself.
"It's ironic how we ignore those who want us, want those who ignore us, Love those who hurt us and hurt those who Love us". These words were spoken by a beautiful and sensitive young lady I had a conversation with. Why are these mood altering statements so powerful these days? Answer: they tell a story...these stories are compelling because they create a mindset of 'there is no Happiness anywhere.' Hmm!
Is this pessimistic or what.... NO HAPPINESS ANYWHERE.....So there is no one in your inner-circle who is actually in a happy relationship. Who's life is working well? Well get out of your circle of associates and FIND those who are happy... you need to see what they are doing so you can copy... you sure can't copy people who make statement like that, they will never be happy.
"Man.... I will never get this science Stuff".... Really?
Is that how you deal with something that's tough? Do you think that you will have everything you want in the future simply because everything you tackle today is easy? Learning should be - Tough - if it’s too easy then your reward would be less valuable in the end. Those days when the World came to you on a Silver platter are over. It is time to rise to the occasion. Standing ovations were never granted to anyone who had it easy. It came to those who accomplished what others failed at. So step up to challenge and don't look at it as too hard.... instead look at it as a challenge that you will look back someday and say: ‘I did it.’ If it was easy everyone would breezing through it. Here is where the tough gets tougher, and keeps going.
Ever wonder how others do it?
People that find 'Inner peace and strength" are people who take their problems to the edge of the cliff to remind themselves that the World is round and just beyond the horizon there are answers. They look to the Horizon and find Hope. They Feel the wind and see the storm for what it is... A weather change that will change again. All storms don't last, they all pass in time.... just look at the clock and mark the time it is taking for it to blow over. This will help you deal with the next storm..... Because, however long you stay in the state of mind of the storm is how long the Perplexed state will last.
There is only one thing which can master the perplexed stuff of epic material into unity; and that is, an ability to see in particular human experience some significant symbolism of man's general destiny.
