When All Else Fails

Get up and try again.

By Lifestyle DivaPublished 7 years ago 3 min read

When you hit a dead end in life and you have lost everything or you about to lose everything, you ask yourself what worse can happen. Many people are faced with situations that make them want to throw in the towel, because they see no hope. But there is hope, challenges are there to make you stronger and sometimes we cannot see ahead of us of what is possible or achievable.

On this Earth, we will face challenges and life is never smooth sailing, obstacles are there to be removed by you and you alone. No one can remove an obstacle for you, you can sit down or lie down and remain there and feel sorry for yourself and have a pity party or you can get up, get up from the couch that is keeping you hostage, get up from you laying down position and have faith enough to take one step forward to get up and try all over again. Go knock on some doors, go speak to some friends, ask for help from people that you know will pick you up when you are down. Challenges are there to make you strong and no one said it is going to be easy.

Losing your income and job is not easy and people worldwide are feeling the tough economic situations. You can and will make it, sometimes you have to be innovative and think out of the box of how you going to survive this crisis, some will call it a crisis, others call it a stumbling block. When everything has failed, trying to get back into the job space, try your level best to become an entrepreneur, sell items, find your talent, your passion and build on that.

Many people look for a job, but are meant to be in business. Many are stuck in jobs they hate, because their passion is dying inside them and are frustrated. Many are hoping things will change for them and others will make it happen because they took a chance. Many are looking for permission or affirmation from others, no one will give you that, there are too many waiting for you to fail in life. Very few will have your back and encourage you in life to take a leap of faith. Surround yourself only with those that have positive encouragement to give you, drop those toxic friends and family that has never had a positive word to say to you. Tell yourself every day that you deserve more in life and the best that life has to offer.

Life doesn't just happen, you have to have enough drive and faith and take action. You have to find your passion and make the right choices in life to live a fulfilled life. Real action takes a lot of hard work and sometimes you will experience failure. Failure is not permanent it only means you have not gained enough experience in a certain field or are not qualified enough. Sometimes we have to go back to school to learn about the subject that we want to pursue and gain some experience to prepare us for success. Success does not happen overnight, it happens gradually as you mature and gain knowledge and understanding.

You can become whatever you want to be in life if you do not lose hope. Maybe there are many mountains to climb to get to your destiny, but you will eventually get there. The reality is happiness and contentment will bring you into the position that you are meant to be in. Sometimes we have to lose a job and lose some stuff because we are on the wrong course/direction in life and our maker wants to steer you in the direction you should go.

Never give up on your dreams, keep focusing on them and pursue it. Only you can pave your own future and live a happy fulfilled life. You are in control of your own life and destiny and only you can make things happen.
