We all run into hard times, or challenges, as we head down our paths through life. However, some of us seem to get stuck in what appears to be a continuous cycle of 'bad luck.' This cycle slams us down and forces us to battle ghosts, or old problems, in an attempt to free ourselves to move forward in life again. Good luck, bad luck, no luck.
Moving forward in life after winning against a challenge is not always a simple task. It's not so much the fact that you got out of the situation. It's the possibility of sinking back into, or creating, a similar situation because of the 'comfort zone' you developed in this situation. Many times, once you're at the end of a challenge, you can find yourself folding back into a similar situation because it is comfortable, similar, and provides that feeling of success.
When life began issuing challenges to me, I had no idea how to deal with them. I would fight, scratch, kick, and scream to straighten it all back out so that life would return to its previous state. I eventually became so used to fighting to 'survive' that I began slamming every nail with the same sledgehammer.Instead of moving forward in life toward my goals, I continually found problems that I could beat to achieve immediate satisfaction.
The one thing I realized after a while was that, life could never be what it was. It cannot be as it was one minute or one decade ago, because it is constantly changing and we are constantly growing. When you experience a change or a trauma, life changes. It will never be as it was ... life changes! Life changes through knowledge, through experience, through maturity, and through life itself. I found that fighting to maintain life as it was merely wasted time fighting for the past when in fact I should have been fighting for the future.
In this change I can easily make out one thing tht i m losing my sensitivity n becoming tough day by day :o
Remembering that, hard times don't last forever, unless you allow them. When you encounter rough times, this is when you make plans to adjust for better times. Get on another path that can get you back on a track for a better life... :)
