Having great people around us is a gift we should never take for granted. If you take it for granted, life will not be fair with you. Human beings are social animals. We like to be around great people, people who respect us. We need great people in our lives. If you have not found one, it is never to late. We need them. They need us. You need them. They need you. You cannot work alone, live alone, or love alone. You need great people to lift you up when you are down. You need great people to raise your energy up when your energy is down. You need great people to celebrate with you when things are good. You need great people to mourn with you when things are bad.

No matter who we think we are, we need great people around us. According to James C. Collins, “For no matter what we achieve, if we don’t spend the vast majority of our time with people we love and respect, we cannot possibly have a great life. But if we spend the vast majority of our time with people we love and respect, people we really enjoy being on the bus with- and who will never disappoint us- then we will almost certainly have a great life, no matter where the bus goes.” Your success depends on your relationships with other people. Because you cannot do it alone. You need other people’s brains to get things done. So if you want to be successful in your life, you need help from other people.

How To Live Well During Hard Times

Whatever you are going through right now is not who you are. It is what is happening. Don’t try to resist it. Don’t even try to fix it if you cannot. But do not let it take you down. Instead of worrying about it, focus your thoughts and energy on making it better.

When something is already bad, it is your responsibility to make it better, not worse. You can make your situation or your condition better by focusing your thoughts on positive things. Try as much as possible to remove all negative thoughts from your mind. Because the more you focus on negative things, the more negative things you will attract into your life. Don’t do that to yourself. You have the power to change your life. No one can change you but you.

Sometimes we create our own hard times. We focus our thoughts on what is not working for us. When you focus on what is not working for you, you will always find what is not working. You will always focus on problems, not solutions. If you really want to live well during hard times, according to Augustine of Hippo, “Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such as the times.”

“Such as we are, such are the times.”

Augustine of Hippo
