Hardships You Have To Face In Life – Part 12

Life consists of ups and downs. No matter how much you shield yourself, sooner or later, you will have to face hardships.

However, hardships also have something positive about them. You grow as you experience them. They make you a stronger and better person.

Yes, they are often very painful, and it can be hard to see them in any positive light whatsoever when you are experiencing them.

But that is just the reality of life!

So we have taken a look at some of the difficulties which we all have to go through, obviously it affects and impacts us in different ways because we all come from different backgrounds and we all experience different emotions, and everybody handles situations differently.

Emotional Distress

If you are trying to achieve big things, you will have to deal with stress, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, disappointment, doubt, guilt, and many more challenging emotions.

However, just like failure, they are absolutely worth it! If a temporary unease is a price to pay for an extraordinary life, then that is a meagre price.

If you commit to mastering your emotions and dedicating time to self-care, you will come out of your emotional distress as a stronger and more resilient person.

The mountains you are now able to climb are much bigger than before.

Aging

Our modern society has become very bad at handling aging. People view it as the decay of beauty, health, strength, abilities, and intellect.

Nowadays, thousands of people frantically jump to Botox as soon as they notice the first wrinkles appear; others refuse to talk about their age or even lie about it.

As many ancient cultures did, we finally need to see aging as something positive again.

Aging comes with increased patience, spiritual awareness, and wisdom.

And if you take care of yourself mentally and physically, you can be way more athletic and smart than most of the elderly people we see around us daily.

You only need to do some research on it. There are so many old people out there who can still live an incredible life.

Let this remind you that you can influence the kind of life you will live in 40, 50, or 60 years.

Every time you fear aging, let that remind you to live healthily.

You will hurt someone

One day or another, you will hurt someone. For example, you might hurt them with the careless words you spoke, disappoint them with your actions, or actually injure them physically by accident.

It will probably make you feel guilty, and you will scold yourself for it, but you should never ever lose yourself in regret.

Always remember: We make mistakes; that’s what makes us human.

The thing that counts is that you make up for it with the actions you take afterward. Don’t just apologize. Prove that you are genuinely sorry and work on yourself to never make it happen again.

Difficult family members

As much as family is a blessing, most people have one rather difficult family member.

And yes, they can push your buttons like nobody else, but still, they are family. And instead of getting frustrated with their behaviour, we should let it remind us to be grateful.

Feeling lost

You will look around you at one point in your life and simply feel lost. You will ask yourself what you are doing, what you really want in life, and if you are on the right track.

First of all, don’t despair! As quickly as this feeling can come, it can also disappear. However, you should not just wait for it to pass. Instead, take this feeling as a sign to think about your direction in life.

And yes, that might be scary, but it can lead you to so much happiness.

As you face this feeling of being lost, you will have to ask yourself one important question: Am I happy?

And if the answer is No, you have to ask yourself what you would want life to be like to be truly happy.

You should always remember that every moment can be good or bad; it depends on your mind-set.

And if you are a bit more spiritual, it also helps to remember that Allah has reasons for sending you specific experiences. You might not be able to see it yet, but they will lead you towards a better life.
