Tough Times Never Last Tough People Do

Never Lose Hope: Hope is something we all have within us when times get tough and rough. Another word for Hope is love and with hope and love, even the most impossible can be made possible. Hope is the pillar that holds up the world for everything that is done is done with a hope. We may not always have a comfortable living and may not always be able to solve all the problems spontaneously but never ever underestimate your own ability in doing so because if courage can be contagious, then hope can take on a life on its own. We should always make positive pledges within the family each day by reading and listening to positive and powerful events and also by associating ourselves with encouraging, positive thinkers.

We should always try our best to never lose hope in any situation:

1.    Believe in yourself. Identify your strengths and enhance them so that you can overcome your weaknesses. There is nothing impossible on earth if you believe you can accomplish it. Always remember the quote “TRY And TRY AGAIN, TILL YOU SUCCEED”. Believing in yourself is the key to success in life.  


2.    Always be brave to accept the Reality. Ups and downs are the diversities in everyone’s life and we all should be bold enough to face it as it comes. This is easier said than done because the one who is enduring such a situation feels totally lost and lonely.  Many questions seem to haunt the brain –“how will stable myself?”, “will I ever find happiness again?” and the most common “what do I do now?”“What will people think of me?” etc. It is understandable that a sudden change can be difficult to handle and accept, but one day it will definitely get better. The toughest part in such a situation is that one must accept the truth and be prepared for what it is but still must not lose hope for a bright new day.Remember a situation where we find ourselves weak may seem impossible but it is better to be prepared and fight through it for there is definitely an end to every battle.
 
 3.    Balance your reality with faith. Don’t lose faith, prayers stabilizes hope when we feel it dwindling. Accepting the reality with a hope to succeed through shall help to maintain the equilibrium of the turmoil created by different other negative aspirations. Time heals all wounds and hope is a balm. Hope is a medicine that not only cures us but also others around us.

4.    Stay calm and never let your feelings reflect on your face.  Always show a cheerful face and avoid sad and gloomy expressions, it will not only cheer us up but will be a great help in passing the phase smoothly with the help of our friends as well as an old saying, “smile and the world smiles with you, cry – you cry alone.”

5.    Identify reasons for failure. Everyone fails to achieve some goal, but if we learn from the failure, we will be more likely to succeed in the future. “SUCCESS” And “FAILURE” are the most important part of life and every individual has to face it at least once in a life span.So we should be brave and hopeful to face it with courage and dignity for “NO ONE IS PERFECT”. Face it boldly and don’t take the easy way out by giving up. Always remember that no one recovers from a large failure overnight. It takes time for the situations to be conducive and then to heal.

    6. Be positive and think Positive. We should try to remain in the company of those people you admire for it will be very easy to start believing in our own self when we are in the company of those who have set their goals and achieved it. This is a nice way to bring out ideas about how to accomplish our own goal. Walk around with a smile, and be friendly, pleasant and nice. Talk with kindness, encouragement, civility, and respect so that you are fun to work with. Instead of complaining, sulking or gossiping, we should listen to them with interest.

   7. Never give up. We should give our best at every opportunity that come across our way. Any effort to improve our own self by accomplishing tasks will not be a mere waste of time but will be a learning process. We all are stronger than we think and any one little setback is not enough to stop us from moving ahead towards our cherished desired goals. We definitely deserve the best and to get that we have to succeed. We should never give up until we reach our destination!

8.    Be patient and persistent.Goals are set by each and every single individual but only those could accomplish them who remains persistent and have patience. This is certainly frustrating at times, but it’s a career path that shall bring more joy than any other because facing in the right direction and moving slowly will definitely give fruits to admire. Nothing great is ever accomplished without persistence and patience because, in order to be successful, our dreams must translate into work. 

9.    Introspection. Every single individual is aware of the word “Introspection”, but do we really practice it. Introspection is the examination of our soul that helps in clearing our thoughts, builds self-confidence and identifies our weaknesses. If we are sincere in practicing this art, then there is nothing that will stop us from accomplishing our goals or targets. This particular exercise is very simple as it needs no laboratory or test materials instead can be used at any time and at any place.

10. Time. A famous quote “Time heals all wounds, and hope is a balm”. If we do feel that something bad has happened than we must not panic or blame our self for it. As the time will pass we will understand that it was a part of life and we were capable enough to handle such situations in the future. So always believe something better is waiting for you ahead. To expect a long-term view without difficulties is not possible at all, so it’s better to come, persevere knowing that we are going to get over it one day.
 
11. Focus on your strengths. We should focus on our strengths, rather than sulk on our weaknesses for concentrating on such areas will boost up our spirits to fight more toughly. We should also keep a check on our weaknesses and work on them. Focusing on what we don’t do well only weakens our confidence, enthusiasm, creativity and overall performance; instead, our attention should be focused on expanding upon strengths and working around our weaknesses.

12.Acknowledge your success. We should never forget to congratulate ourselves for all our successes, whether small or big. This will, in turn, increases our motivation and helps to work on our strengths. Once a while we can even look back into our past achievements and acknowledge ourselves for the same. “But that’s the past,”and it doesn’t make much of a difference. 

It is hope that makes the present moment less difficult to bear because if we believe that tomorrow shall be better, the hardships we face today will seem less difficult. A situation where we tend to lose hope in everything may seem rare at that particular moment, but tragedy occurs when we also stop trying for positive results.

“Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.”

          SOMEONE SPECIAL

When I think of you with my eyes closed ,
  The more of you I see…….enclosed,
Your contour image….dim and blurring
          Honest fully… the mind is turning
    Your melodious voice I recall
       Springs immeasurable peace overall.
A feeling of ecstasy overtakes
Drives the determination with lucky breaks.
Lost to eternity, my body and soul,
Over my senses, I have no control.
Suddenly, I realise with open eyes…
Aimless life of mine, beckoning me,
To its whirl…….. Shall remain the same
Till the scarlet splendour of your name
I’ll write upon the shrinking skies
Shall quench my heart with your flame.
FOR
Your presence in my mundane life,
Is a radiant jewel, my mystical wife?

 This is an Excellent piece of advice for any one who are feeling low and down or depressed today.   


" In order to Divorce yourself from unhappiness, Always keep the treasurers of happiness with you " 
  
Way To Happiness. 
  
This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no meaning. 
  
So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness.  The counselor called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors.  The counselor then said to the rich lady "I'm going to ask  Mary here to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is listen to her." 
  
So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story: "Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later  my only son was killed by a car.  I had nobody... I had nothing left.  I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life. Then one evening a little kitten followed me home from work.  Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk, and the kitten licked the plate clean.  Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and, for the first time in months, I smiled. Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe doing something for people could make me happy. So the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbour who was sick in bed. Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy. Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I've found happiness, by giving it to others." When she heard that the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things  which money cannot buy. 
"The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are; But on how happy others can be because of you..." 

  
Happiness is not a destination, 
It's a journey. 
Happiness is not tomorrow, 

It is now. 
Happiness is not a dependency, 

It is a decision. 
Happiness is what you are, 

Not what you have. 
  


May your troubles be less, May your blessings be more, May nothing but happiness come through your door! 
  
Wishing Your Days Be Filled With Happiness, Peace And Good Health.
