What do you do when you don’t
know what to do? When it seems like you are doing all you can but things aren’t
going as planned. When lives throws dung at you. When you feel judgment in the
tone of your so-called loved ones?
I’ve realized that life itself
isn’t fair…you don’t get what you deserve, you claim what you deserve. You
might think you’ve done all you could possibly do to change the situation but
trust me, there’s still something out there that you can explore to effect a
change.
What if it’s an emotional
situation- you lost someone dear, your fiancée broke off your engagement, your
son doesn’t want to see you or you are just depressed - nothing that was really
your fault? Like I said, life doesn’t hand you what you deserve.
I would think the first thing I
need to do is to accept the fact I need help. And as a Christian, my principal
source of help is the Holy Spirit. No one makes it in this life by sheer
muscle. The Holy Spirit is called The Helper. He will give me ideas as to what
else to do to change my situation and feel better. He also comforts us – for those
who lost someone or something dear.
I could also seek counsel from trusted friends who have overcome such situations. I could associate myself with people that can help me. Ask for tips, read books. Some of us are too proud to do this. The earlier we seek help, the better. No man is an island.
Another is changing one’s
mindset. Some of us are of the opinion that nothing good happens to them. I
remember one of my classmates who is of the mind that if something good was happening
to others, before his turn, it’ll turn bad. If gifts are being shared, before
his turn, it’ll finish. Change your mindset, change your thoughts and you’ll
change your life! Have a can-do attitude. Have a success-prone mindset. Don’t
accept that you can’t change something. If you don’t like a situation, change
it. If you don’t like your weight, do something about it. If you are depressed, cheer up. If your business is
failing, try another. Ensure you get the necessary training though.
It’s never too late to change a
situation. As it is said “the only constant thing about life is Change”
I am changing…I hope you do too.
