How To Handle A Challenging Situation

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

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?

When They Are Done, They Are Done

Free yourself from what you have. Relax yourself. You deserve to rest yourself. You are responsible for resting yourself. If you don’t need it, but your body needs it. If you don’t want to rest yourself, your soul will rest you. Why? Because you are active when your soul is in good shape. And to put your soul in good shape, you must learn to take a break. You must learn to detach yourself from negative thoughts.

Take care of yourself. You need it. Your body needs it. Your soul needs it. Some people will criticize you for taking care of yourself. Other people will support you for doing it. No matter what they say, they are not in charge of your life. You are your own boss. So use your power to take charge of your life. Stop attaching yourself to what you have. Stop protecting your material things. When they are done, they are done. When they are old, they are old. When it is time to let them go, let them go. It is their time to go. Do not fight to keep what you don’t need. Instead, fight yourself to detach yourself from your old negative thoughts. Life is not about attachment, but about detachment.

Detachment is life. Attachment is death. Detachment is healthy, is success, is freedom. Attachment is stress, is fear, is failure to let go. Detachment brings peace. Attachment brings panic, anxiety. That is why we suffer.

We suffer because we don’t know how to let go. Remember, you can buy anything you want, but you can’t keep everything you have. From now on, give away what you do not need. Detach yourself from old things. Detach yourself from old bad habits. Detach yourself from toxic friends. Detach yourself from your old negative thoughts. Detach yourself from fear, from hate. When you detach yourself from old things, new things will come to you. They will come to you. But to receive them, you must detach yourself from the old things.
