Four Things To Do When You Are Facing Challenges In Life.
Life challenges can be a threat to one’s growth, development, and sometimes cause a detriment to one’s mental health. The main reason why some people choose to take the wrong route of suicide option. Challenges are indifferent faces and life blows thrown at each individual are significantly different. In the same way, healing and solution will come differently.
Meanwhile, here are the four things I want to share with you which can shield a sparkling light as a way-out from that difficult corner.
1. ACCEPT THAT YOU HAVE A CHALLENGE.
I intentionally refused to call it a problem rather named it a challenge that will soon find its way out of your life. It is a danger to believe that one is okay when knowing full well that certain things need help in one's life. The same way people who got corrected on certain behavior about their life do not appreciate it until it cost them an important aspect of their lives.
Accepting the fact that one needs help is an open door for possible solutions. Without accepting the lopsided holes in you, everyone will always be wrong and the solution may be far from you.
2. HAVE IT IN MIND THAT THE CHALLENGE IS FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME.
Let me remind you of a scenario if you also experienced such in the past. When I was much younger. Perhaps, during my teen’s age, once I found myself at fault for an offense at home, my heart will continue to beat like a pumping machine for hours. Knowing fully well the kind of punishment that is coming for me. After some days, it is either I had forgotten that such an incident occurred or served my punishment. Whichever, I would have moved on. The fact is that I won’t know when the challenge will famish. My take to you is that every life jumble has an exit date. Yours is not permanent, it will soon find its way.
3. SPEAK OUT AND SEEK HELP.
One can remain on a spot for years as a result of simple information not known. Last year, I almost cried because of research as I could not navigate some analytical aspect. With the help of people and guidance, I was able to scale through the process successfully. It was even of one those selected for a reward.
A lot can happen to a man whose mouth is too big to seek help. If you ask enough, you will get answers from people who are willing to help you. Share your challenges with people who will give listening ears to you. The funniest part is that everybody has one or two things battling with.
4. ACT ON THE SOLUTION AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
Unfortunately, one can carry a solution to his or her challenge around for years without knowing. No wonder many are not the product of the books in their library. Many are not the functions of the knowledge they have. Till one judiciously maximizes the leverage of resources, opportunities, and advantage at one disposal, it will be difficult to judiciously use the ones one is craving for.
My dear reader, life encounters are real. Nevertheless, they must not take the joy and great realities that await us.
