Moments of Struggle

MOMENTS OF STRUGGLE

The world’s easiest thing, one can possibly do is to think negative and lose focus especially in the struggling period. People tend to think faster and negative when they are going through a rough patch of their life. To them, it seems everything is coming to an end. Each and every effort they are putting, it is all going in vain. All the doors of opportunity, seems to be either locked, blocked, jammed or won’t accept the key they are using to open it.
All things mentioned above are very close and very familiar to us. It happens to almost everybody has to go through a rough patch no matter, if it is about personal relationships, professional or even health issues. It is very likely to lose focus and get distracted with all these small hindrances of life. After losing focus the next picture that emerges on their minds, are the people around them who are doing exceptionally phenomenal. This picture triggers two elements of human brains, depending upon the nature of that individual. Either they combine all their remaining energy and starts working towards their targets (the winner’s approach) or the second kind, gets fully equipped with their negative energy and starts getting frustrated and depresses ( loser’s approach). The question here is, as to how to not lose the enthusiasm, the passion towards that certain goal of yours and how to keep moving towards your certain target.
People normally, when advised to stay focus and positive always in a cliché manner. It goes something like, ‘you don’t know what is it like to be in my shoes or circumstances, or you are living life at full you don’t know how it feels to be stuck with so many issues at a time?’ People tend to get very judgmental and sensitive in the time of crisis. Tiny little things and actions leave a very negative impact on their psyche. Results, they lose hope and eventually the entire path of their goal.
There is a lot that we need to learn from Mother Nature. When it is the peak time of a burning summer day and it seems that at one point, everything around us will catch fire. Still we can observe that all the living creatures are out there, busy in search of their bread and butter. We see a lot of humans working in that high temperature. Yet there are some individuals, who cannot take all that pain of the sun. So they look for shelter, so that they don’t have to work or they either have an excuse of getting away from it. Then gradually the day starts to fall. The scorching beams of sunlight start to get weak. And a beautiful breezy evening appears to overcome the heat of the day. To let the living creatures enjoy their efforts which they have done during the day. So the people, who did not lose hope and kept working under that burning reservoir, will enjoy the peace of the calm evening more. Comparing to those individuals who left their work early just because they couldn’t resist against the hardships that is the sun and stopped putting efforts that would let them to a beautiful evening. The evening will be worth more to those who have been burning their skins during the day. But those who left for shelter and stays there till the dusk, they probably will enjoy the peace but not to the same extent.
Tthis is the usual and similar practice of our lives. Working consistently towards a certain goal, with positive attitude and sincere efforts, still probably will not take you immediately to your destination. You have to go through a lot of rough times, a lot of hot sunny days, and plenty of hardships on the way to your goal. Then surely there will be a time, when you will be among those who are enjoying the beautiful evenings among all the other successful individuals.
