How To Handle A Challenging Situation

How you react to what is going on in your life is yours. But just know that you can’t control everything. No one can, no matter how smart, successful.

We can’t control everything. We can’t control what is happening around us. But we can control who we are. We can control what we say. We can control what we do. And we can control what we do next.

Is that all? No, it is not all. When you are faced with a challenging situation, the first thing to do is to stay calm. Do not freak out. Because freaking out is not going to help you. It is going to make you even more confused.

The second thing you can do is to know what is going on, why is it happening? Do not ask, ‘Why is it happening to me?’ When you know what is going on, you can deal with it. You can manage it.

You can change what you are saying about what you are doing, or what you are saying about where you are. For example, if your boss is not a good boss, if your manager is a joke, you can say something like, ‘They are just different. I need time to understand who they are.’

When you change what you say about your situation, you will start to create a new life for yourself.

Your life will start to take a whole new shape. Because words are powerful. Words are powerful. They can make you a champion. And they can also create a loser out of you. It is up to you.

If you want to experience a positive life, stop using negative words to describe yourself. If you want to experience a positive life, start using positive words to tell your own story.

When you are faced with challenging things, don’t ask yourself, ‘Why me?’ Instead, ask yourself, ‘Why not me?’

Why not you?

You are stronger and better than whatever you are facing in your life. Be patient with yourself. Just know that it is not going to be with you forever. Just know that you can defeat it, that you are better than what is trying to dim your light.

No one can dim your life. You are here to make a difference, not to waste your time. So, whatever it is that is trying to hold you back, do not give up. Focus on what is working for you.

Do not focus on what is not working for you. Focus on what you have, not on what you do not have. Focus on light, not darkness.

Challenges are not permanent. They are just there to test your love for yourself, to test your love for your dreams. They are not there to break you. They can’t break you. Unless you let them.

No matter what you are going through in your life, do not let it stop you from loving yourself, from caring about other people, from dealing with difficult things, from being true to yourself, from being grateful for what you have, and from honoring your life.

Because what you are going through is a test. And you are going to come out stronger, better, and wiser.

Do not stop. Keep going. Keep on keeping on. And you will get to where you want to be.
