Tragedies happen all
the time, failures, problems and even accidents are inevitable. It’s so easy
for these situations to kick people down but staying down is a decision you
alone have the power to make. Wallowing is your pains will never set you free,
be it a collapsed business, a lost job or a form of negative experience. It
could even be as bad as losing a loved one. Any of these could make it
difficult for you to pull your life together and move past the experience. The
inability to overcome setbacks has pulled some people down till they can no
longer bring something meaningful out of their lives. It takes quite some
effort to get over depression and turn one’s life around after a bad experience
but the truth is it is possible overcome setbacks, it is possible to find peace
and progress and it is possible to become better than you even were. Here are
some tips useful for overcoming set backs
DONT WALLOW IN SELF
PITY: success and weakness never go together. Wallowing in self pity will never
right the wrong, crying over spilt milk never changes the situation. Its
alright to cry, its okay to feel sad but you cannot allow your pain to take
over. Feel sad for a bit, evaluate your situation and move on. Depression
doesn’t solve problems, it doesn’t change situations, it only keeps you down.
LOOK FOR A WAY: don’t
wait for anyone to help you, sympathies would never make you a way. Create your
own opportunities, don’t wait for help, it might never come. If you want to
reattempt the business or line of work you failed at, be sure to learn from
your past. Don’t make same mistakes. Give it your best shot this time and you
would be surprised how well you can do just because you never gave up.
BE POSITIVE: the way
you reason and how you see yourself is crucial to overcoming problems. It’s
best to understand that challenges are meant to make you stronger. It is always
difficult to grow when everything comes easy. Your challenges are preparing you
for something bigger. This is the attitude and reasoning of overcomers. Nothing
good comes in the comfort zone. You need the push, you need the strives, you
need the struggles to gear you to your success.
Every experience either
positive or negative is valuable. Setbacks push people, the wealthiest people
in the world are those that have experienced the most setbacks failures and
problems. They are the people that didn’t give up no matter what life throws at
them.
