It’s not hard to get discouraged from time to time.
Sometimes you feel like you can't seem to get a break and everything is going
south in your life. While this isn’t actually the case, we being human, can’t
always help feeling this way. I found the best way to counter these kind of
feelings is to become aware of them.
I spoke about a bizarre meltdown period I seemed to be
in just before Christmas. I say bizarre because this is one of the times of
year that I really enjoy.
The city is dressed up and everyone seems to be ready
to have a good time. Most of us are looking forward to celebrating the
holidays, first Christmas and then, only a week later, New Years.
I can’t give you an excuse, but maybe because the
weather kept changing and it was raining a lot, I was not my usual self. Good
thing though that I noticed it and still had time to snap out of it.
Of course, everything costs more and unexpected extra
expenses get you down. Of course, it is cold in North America, so you dress for
it and, if you are like me, ignore it as much as possible. Mainly you can do
this because you realize that later in the year you will be very hot and
walking around in sandals and light clothes most of the time.
No matter what comes at you, you rise up to the
challenge and eventually realize you have tackled worse and come through it.
When you think about this, it is likely that whatever aggravations and troubles
you have now, will sooner or later (preferably sooner) be behind you.
What I am thinking is that you and I are still
standing. We are still enjoying life and breath and friends and family and all
of the things that make up our lives. A good thing to remember the next time
you feel weighed down and frustrated by whatever passing detour life is putting
in your path.
Using your own past and the life you have lived so far,
you can muster the will and strength to pull yourself up and head forward
again.
