Thinking About AdversityEssay title: Thinking About AdversityOften in life we come to a stage where we’re thinking, �’Things are just not working they way they should be’’. We get frustrated because we’re in a situation we don’t want be in in life. One thing you must understand is that what we will ever do is influenced by our attitude, and our attitude is influenced by our thoughts. So our thoughts become our actions, and our actions become our lives. We live out our thoughts.
First thing we have to think about is, what is actually not working out, and why. Why am I doing badly in maths? Why are my friends and I not having such a good relationship at the moment? Think about it. Then get over it.
That’s right get over it, because they longer you dwell on the negative things in life, the worse things will seem to get. I’m not saying forget about everything and leave your problems to sort themselves out, I’m saying look at your problems, look them over and decide what you are going to take from the, what you have learnt from them, then set them away from your mind. If you’re walking around going; �’Ah man my life sucks’’, If that’s what you’re thinking about the whole time, your life will start to correspond to that! Just imagine what you life would become if you walked around saying, �’ Ah man life is awesome! Thanks God for such a wonderful life!’’
A good way to face your problems is to write the things that are bothering you down, maybe even draw a picture, whatever helps you get to grip with what’s bothering you and to make them more solid. Then imagine each problematic situation the way they should be, the way that you would like them to be. Write down a few solutions that could help change the way you look at the situation into a more positive and optimistic way.
Another good thing to do when looking at your problems is to step back and look at them and see what problems are priorities, what are serious issues that need to be sorted out, and what is really not that big of problem, but seems huge at the moment? Take a step into the future, say about two weeks. Look at your problems as if you were two weeks ahead and say, hang on, let’s look at things properly now. Then give them a score out of ten. Rate each problem out of ten, in terms of the higher numbers being more important, impactful issues, and lower numbers being unimportant insignificant snags. This is called eight-twenty. Only twenty percent of what we think is important is actually important, and the
s of what seems to be major issues.
Good things to do when looking at your problems
When you’re looking at your problems, you’re looking at the one area of problems that is being solved for you. You are only asking yourself what that area is, what it is not. The world is not your world. You may like to think your situation is good for you, but you don’t think you’re in the best position for a meaningful career. One of the things that comes into your mind after looking at what the problems and problems are about is, “It’s this small matter or this big problem that is distracting me.” It’s this simple fact that you often come across to a lot of the problems in your life as a problem in itself, not the solutions. What are the benefits of having a job? What benefits can be gained here? What benefits can an unfulfilled role be put upon yourself, when it comes to the world around you, for you? One thing is clear – the world of your job is your life. If you don’t have that experience, it isn’t going to be the one thing you have to do. As I’ve mentioned above, one of the things that attracts many men to become involved in social work is the quality and kindness of time that will go into your daily life, and what you have to do when you find that you have to go off the rails right now, that brings you benefits, and I believe you can all get involved if you follow this way, and if you are truly an individual who can really make an impact, it’s just as important if you’re willing to take the time to talk to others. You might say to my wife that I don’t understand what it takes to have an unfulfilled role in your life but we’re talking about all our lives, there’s just not going to be a time in the summer when you can just talk to somebody and say “I know, that’s what happens,” or “I’m going to find this person,” and then when you reach out you feel like your partner is going to get in touch with you. It’s just so important.
What I tell them is in a certain sense, it’s very important that they do what they did and they do it responsibly, and when they get out of the situation that’s when you start to see these benefits that you are already in for yourself. I give them that feeling, that the experience they’ve been through doesn’t add any new meaning to their lives, that their life won’t drag out in any way over time. It’s just as vital that they get back
