Greeting everyone,
I believe everyone has been through challenging circumstances or unfavorable events in life. The difficulties, obstacles, or hardships might be different from one person to another. Some might face physical or mental health problems like personal trauma, while others might face financial or social struggles.
I believe that adversity is part of life. We might say that the rich might not be facing it, but we didn't know that some of them have struggled for life just to overcome adversity in life. It is our duty to learn how to face it, even finding ways to cope with and learn from the difficulties that we face, and to become much stronger than ever.
In today's post, I would love to share some of my personal opinions on how to overcome the challenges of life.
HISTORICAL FIGURE THAT OVERCOMES THE ADVERSITY OF LIFE
History has made records about many people who faced the adversity of life and used it as a stepping stone to success in life. One of my favorite figures was Nelson Mandela. His journey from prisoner to president shows that adversity can be tamed as long as you want to work hard and find the way to solve it. His life became a legacy and inspired many people on earth to strive for positive change and face adversity.
Helen Keller is another name that is being used as a historical figure to overcome adversity. At the age of 19 months, she fell ill, which left her deaf and blind. Despite having disabilities, she has used her ability to live to learn to read braille and write. She became the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
We is much better if we are not deaf and blind , or we not being isolated in prison . It was just the willingness of our mind to overcome adversity in our life .
THE MINDSET
Our mind was a powerfull weapon that we have in life . According to Mr. Google , most of us just use not more 10% of what our mind capible to do , and even it only 10% human being has discover and accomplish a lot of thing on earth.
The first mindset that we have was to acknowledge the adversity in our life . When we acknowledge it in our life was only way we can find solution to overcome it . Some people was scare and try to hide or run from the reality by not acknowledge it in life.
After knowing what kind of difficulties we are facing, we can do or make research on how to solve them. We can find it on the Internet or even find an expert to help us get through it.
SUPPORT SYSTEM
Its come to the next step to overcome it by finding the expert or mentor that has gone through the obstacles or did their study to fight it. I can 100% tell you that we can't fix it overnight. It takes time, and sometimes it will take a lifetime to solve it, but I'm sure that you can overcome it as long as there is at least 1% hope to overcome it.
The next step is to find the right community. We don't have to go through it by ourselves. It was lonely if you just did it alone. There were a lot more people who might have the same challenge as you. Today, the internet has made our lives much easier to socialize and find communities to support each other along the way. Sometimes, you might know things that we didn't know about the problem that we faced, and it was the information that we needed to solve it.
GOAL SETTING AND MOTIVATION
It was very important to set goals and monitor them. In my previous post, I talked about why it was very important to keep a journal. It was very important to track our journey and be flexible enough to adjust our journey to get the right recipe to overcome it.
Small successes will motivate us along the long journey. That's why setting small goals and reaching them quickly will become our fuel to overcome them.
BE STRONG AND CONTINUE FIGHTING
The last point was to become stronger than before. It's ok to fail and feel bad about a temporary loss. It's good, as he was a great teacher all the time. But, dont stay there too long . Get up and find your way back with another way to success. That's why we need the community to support us. Walking alone was so lonely, but they will always be your hand and shoulder when you need them.
Its not easy as I know it from my personal experience. I have my own adversity, and so do you (maybe). We have different obstacles in life, but we have the same fight. I wish you an awesome journey, and luck may be with you.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will feel better every day. See you on another journey.
