I have heard the saying that time is money, and it rings true in my case. Whether you are a person of faith or not, the world has its good days, bad days, or just plain boring days. To some extent, this could be because life really isn’t that interesting unless it is going well for someone. Either way, sometimes we need to look at the outside life, especially when things aren’t going well in our lives. Sometimes as I mentioned before, though, we all struggle with times of hardship. As hard as it can be, we would all want to try to understand what causes people to go through such situations. It could be anything from poverty to financial problems to family issues. Whatever the reason for their current situation, we should always work on how to do better in our own lives. Just like there are two sides to every story, so should there be for our lives. Maybe it’s just an easy and quick fix to everything, but a little more of hope and understanding won’t hurt either, right?
Looking Through Your Windows
It seems like everyone wants to live for the times they’ve been through, and sometimes that means having the best intentions in life. Not having any faith that things will continue to go well for you, no matter how much they seem to be going well for others. You have to look at the person in front of you and see if he’s happy or sad. Do they love you very much? Are they kind of weird? How does this relationship work out after the break up? Who are their friends and family? Has your self-esteem fallen as low as possible? When you’re struggling, all it does is make you feel like crap. In the end, you’d rather stay in a cave than have people around who don’t share your same beliefs. When you’re looking back at yourself, maybe things did not go the way you expected and your thoughts aren’t happy. Instead of thinking about it, maybe it’s worth thinking about what happens next. What’s going to happen to the world and to yourself if you stop doing the things you love? Is your job okay? Where are you heading to go that you think you’re going to go? If you’re struggling, don’t worry about everything going wrong in your future because eventually everything will get better. Just take it day by day and make sure you’re enjoying it while it lasts. Keep your spirits high.
You may not like living in the perfect conditions, but you wouldn’t be happier without them, right? The world might be a beautiful place and the people in it might be nice, but you have to keep the spirits high for what you have to offer the world. People should care enough that they want to see what you have to give in order for it to be worth living. When you’re unhappy, you’re unhappy. Why not focus on the positive side rather than dwelling on the negative. Be thankful that you have the option to have a job or not have one at all! There’s an endless supply of opportunities, even now that unemployment is at an all time low. No one knows what the future holds for us, if only because we never took advantage of it. That’s how we have to live our lives today. Don’t let anything or anyone make you feel like less than something you actually are. Be happy and enjoy being alive. All of it is a journey that you’ll experience along. Take it as a lesson learned and make use of what you have to offer. Let any other opportunity pass you by thinking that you deserve to have one more chance.
When you start to feel down on yourself all of sudden you’re probably wondering why. How come nobody seems to care about you? After all of this sadness does it ever get any better? Can you turn to God? Have faith in him and believe that maybe you just need a boost. Believe that it’s not too late to change your life. We know it takes some time and effort before all things go according to plan. Change doesn’t just happen overnight. So how do you find happiness in moments like these? Well, firstly, take some time to reflect on your inner state. Does you feel hopeless? Is there no hope left in this world? Perhaps you could always become a professional athlete or singer or act a part of some TV show in order to gain some money? You’re probably asking yourself, “Why bother?” But really think about it and make some choices. Would you rather spend $500 just buying something else that could go wrong, or do you have to put in the work towards making a life for yourself? The choice is yours. Now, look at how many of those possibilities do you see. Will you choose the latter? Or work extra hours as a waitress or waitress to pay for your bills instead of working for someone else and paying your rent? Think about the different things that you could do instead of having your dreams come true. The bottom line is that you always have to remember and appreciate your gifts. Even when they’re small, you still love the fact that you made someone’s day to just be happy for having it. For example, a girl named Tia was telling me she wanted to have her own apartment and I told her that I wasn’t sure if she could afford it. She told me that she had already done everything, including building it to a point where she knew it would be affordable. This is a great story about the value of giving back to the community and building that “little house” or “little business” for yourself. There are so many ways and places you could give back to your community especially during difficult times. Make good use of the resources that you have available and help the poor. Make sure you’re careful what you ask for in return, otherwise you might regret it later. They say nothing gets better if you give without expecting anything in return. When you ask for help, sometimes that comes in the form of helping a neighbor out. And sometimes just volunteering your time to somebody somewhere that needs it. Remember that you are loved and appreciated. Being happy and being loved is the ultimate gift, so give those things to whoever really needs you. It might seem silly or selfish, but that is how to find happiness!
