An ungranted desire, a failed plan, a delayed request or an unproductive endeavour could cause a lot of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual drainage to people.
Although, I would say that it depends on the kind of person experiencing such because handling these difficulties depend on the tolerance and strength of the person and thus differs among people.
How do I deal with it?
That's a very simple question with a much simpler answer which is, "I live above it"
I know your question would be "How do I do that?"
First, I stop worrying. Worrying about deadlines (or lifelines like I call it π) that I couldn't meet, things I couldn't achieve the time I was supposed to or wanted to achieve them, my family, my business... I have learnt to stop worrying and cast all of my cares on Jesus. That's not my job. He already told me what to do when things get challenging and that is to take it to Him in prayers with thanksgiving, knowing that I have the victory already.
Then I declare what I want to see and keep on moving. This way, I have changed the outcome though it may not look like anything has changed at first but that have.
If I was supposed to be worried, He would have tole me, "Be worried, be very worried" but He didn't. So why carry a burden that's not mine?
Also, I remove my hope and trust from People. Depending on people is one sure way of getting overly disappointed because man will always be man and you can't blame them for not keeping their words.
So instead of giving myself unnecessary heart breaks, I rely on God and His strategies. With these, I'm able to know what to do, how to do what to do, in what manner to do it and with whom to do it..
Then, if I'm going to need someone's assistance, I get it. Why? Because I put my trust in the One who never fails and He orchestrates things in my favour.
Finally, I have self talks. I tell myself to stay strong, knowing that there's light at the end of the tunnel. It can only get better and better.
Oh! the peace that fills my heart after this, is second to none.
Don't cower in the face of challenges, stand strong and watch as they crumble before you πͺπͺ
So, that'd be all for now... Till next timeπͺβ£
