Life Is Tough: Deal With It!

We all know life isn't fair, and we also have all experienced how tough it can get sometimes; no matter how strong we believe there will come a time when it's going to stop being tough, it won't.

The Delayed Living Syndrome describes a mindset where we are waiting for the perfect moment or condition before we can start living fully. It's when a student constructs all their plans on what they'll do "after" graduation, or a graduate "after" he lands a job. A single person saying I'll only be happy when I get married or a million other examples of this mindset where we mentally put our lives on hold till an external event happens.

Long story short, we all dream of the day everything works for us so that we can live happily ever after, the only problem is; this day never comes.

Life will never stop throwing obstacles in your way, it's not getting any easier, you have to learn to overcome and sometimes dodge these obstacles, in other way life will continue to be tough, so your best option is to toughen up.

Every period of your life has its own challenges, it's like sometimes you have the time but not the money, and other times you have the money but have no time! You fix your social life and your professional life is ruined. You get a good position but never get to laugh like the good old days. That's how life is, and that's not really a problem.

Life is a game; learn its rules. One of the rules is: it's never going to be whole or complete. So, you might accept it as it is. Sometimes you lose and learn, other times you win and celebrate.

You probably know this story of the king who wanted a phrase that would remind him his power won't last forever when he's at his highest but also console in times of sorrow. The wise man presented him a ring with inscription that read, "this too shall pass"

Good and bad times pass, neither happiness nor sorrow lasts forever. Do your best to feel not necessarily happy but content throughout your lifetime, and incase you forget; the perfect moment will never come, so you might as well never wait for it, and start now!

It's not life throwing obstacles but people do. Once you delete people out of your life you live a nearly stressless life. Issues, troubles they always show on the doorstep if you interact with others. It's our experience and my children already noticed it at a very young age.

People are a great part of the obstacles I meant absolutely, but sometimes it’s maybe sudden changes at work, financial challenges, maybe also challenges of balancing your different life aspects; social, professional, physical, and financial aspects. But, I definitely agree that people often cause a lot of trouble and are by far the greatest source for chaos in our lives. Or maybe they’re only so when we allow them to be? I don’t know

People always cause trouble. If not to others it's to themselves. The question is what is acceptable, bearable, how much are you willing to take since the scales will never be even. There's always one taking while the other gives. How many sacrifices should one make to realize one is drained (burnout, depression, going nuts, addicted, you name it).
For sure those who are "easy" and kind towards others will attract the abusive and energy-draining types and if you change and stick to your word the people around you will change but that doesn't mean the trouble makers will not reach out to you and you most likely pay the prize.
