How To Cope With Life’s Ups And Downs – Thought Of The Day

As humans we hold on to positive ideals and standards that were passed down to us by our elders. With the passage of time, some of these ideals and standards suffer alterations as a garment that needs to be modified so that it makes us look good and comfortable wearing it. That’s what we call personal progression.

Our journey is always made up of ups and downs. There will also be sharp bends and unexpected turns.

How should we deal with life’s ups and downs?

Take a positive approach to these phases. Learn from adversity and prosperity as the both of them will help to toughen you up. 
As humans we are susceptible to being sensitive and let things consume us, but the secret is to get up every time we fall over.

What should be our approach to sharp bends and unexpected turns?

Just like ups and downs, sudden changes and unprecedented circumstances should be faced with normality and a clear mind, no matter what side of the coin you get. 
If things happen in a given moment in time, it is because you have what it takes to embark on a new journey that will lead to your personal fulfilment.

We cannot have control of everything that happens in our lives. Certain things just happen very quickly and there is no back up plan to overturn them. 
A solution can always arise when you least expect, so face these challenges with your gifts and life experience. Don’t let things of lesser interest and value define you.

With our life experiences comes wisdom and strength of character, so the way forward is to try to always see things with a positive outlook. There lies your answer.
