Sometimes, when I'm down or passing through issues, what I say depends on the situation am in . If it's about my career, I tell myself it's a matter of time I'll get there. I could remember myself trying to further my education career, but one issue or the other keeps coming up. So I always tell myself it's a matter of time , God's time is the best, cos I hate being weighed down by any issues.
When the issues based on finances,things seem stuck, I tell myself: "It's not yet time. If it's time, God will surely pave the way, That thought calms my worry.
Whenever am in tough spot! When something's unsolvable I flip the script to ,What if I'm no more? What'd I do? There's hope when there's life.
I always look at the situation I'm in to give myself advice, cos I believe no words of consolation people might tell you that can console you like your own words. I have as many as possible words within me. I remember when we lost our mother, I told my little brother and sister that if our efforts could bring her back, she would be back to us or even if crying could, she wouldn't leave us. So we all took courage and we were the ones consoling others, although it's a lie, cos at night everybody knows where and how to cry under their duvet,but it works during those moment.
In terms of work searching, I don't tell people I give up or am tired. I always tell them 'Just let me know once you hear anything.' It's not that I'm not tired, but I'm keeping encouraging myself that I'll be favoured like others once I didn't relent one day.
To me I don't see it as lying to myself I see it as my passionate motivation speech to comfort myself🤗.
