When the going gets tough!

When the going gets tough what do you do? 

Cry? Yes, I said it is okay to cry. I felt like crying, oh no I cried! But I didn't stop there. I'm thinking, thinking hard. 

Guess what I'm thinking? I'm thinking of a way to be a stronger me. I'm thinking of a way to come out of this mess! But in all, I'm not regretting anything. 


I miss them so much! If they were around, they'll lighten up my day!

Like I have always said and I have always known, this too shall pass! I always laugh last. I am so certain of this just the way I am so sure today is 27th March. 

I usually don't write more than five posts in a week. My posts today isn't spam! It's a way of cooling off the heat within.

When the going gets tough, tighten your seat belt and fly above the contrary wind! 

To be frank, it isn't easy, but I have been observing my life. All my major breakthroughs come after a hard time. 

What am I even saying? Oh! I remember this time last year. Twinkas, Gethelp and Giversforum all dealt with me. But guess what? They made me get serious with Steemit. I registered on steemit in February but wasn't blogging until they whooped my ass! Lol! That silly ass! 

Now, that's a little comic relief, though my heart is heavy. 

A lot of people carry fame, but their pains are buried from the public. 

My advice for you is this, don't you ever wish you were someone else!

Behind the beauty, behind the fame, behind the laughter, behind the affluence, there could be pains you never imagined were existing.  

And how do you cool off when the pressure gets high?

I sing, I dance, I read and I write! But what I do the most is meditate. And it is from periods like this I get the most powerful ideas! 

You see, hard times ain't generally bad. It depends on how you choose to handle them. 

Oh! scratching my head! I cried writing this post! Oh no, I forced the tears not to drop! Because I AM A SUPERWOMAN! 

Don't get it twisted, even Muhammad Ali cries! 

Do you want to know why I am feeling bad? 

I'll tell you. 

Everything I have been working for, I pay to the doctors!  When my colleagues have cars to show. They have houses to show. I have medical bills to show. 

Do you now understand why I am beginning to doubt my Christian faith? 

Yeah! I have many doubts and fears! But one thing is certain! THIS TOO SHALL PASS! 

Hahahaha! I'm aspiring to be the next Miss Ndi isi oji! Lol!

For most women, crying can make relief when there is a problem. then just think again what to do next

Yeah! Crying gets me relieved most times.

After reading this, it made me remember all the hardship I had been through. At a point in life I almost dropped out of school but then I told myself that I have to survive so that one I will tell my story.

Thanks @ogoowinner for sharing such a touching and inspirational story.

I'm glad you're holding on strong! Thanks for your comment here @eastilan.

The saying that weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning. When we go through difficult times, we come out of it refined and successful. All it takes is to believe in ourselves.

@ogoowinner, I pray you become bigger and better with ever travail you go through

Amen! Thank you for this @korexe.

You are a super woman trying to quote what you said earlier.
Life is like a bed of rose, only those with a large hearth and strong faith can overcome. I don't really know what you are pass through, but i believe you will overcome.

Sure! I will. Thank you @mayowadavid.

Behind the beauty, behind the fame, behind the laughter, behind the affluence, there could be pains you never imagined were existing.

@ogoowinner, i believe the above statement crowns it all. People you want to be like have one or two problem.

Please dear, take heart, go easy on your self, soon you shall smile and it will never end. The bills will pass away, tears same and all affliction.

I was trying to chat you to tell you what am passing but nw i see yours is bigger. Please take care of yourself.

Oh! My God! You have some issues with them? I never knew. I'm so sorry to hear about that. I'll talk with you later.

Yeah big issue, Okay will be expecting your chat @ogoowinner

Despite all my life's troubles I just decide to go on and have a brave heart and treasure really what else life has to offer me. We just have to do what makes us happy because life just gets sadder as years go by.

@cryptopie, your courage strengthens me. I'm glad to have you here. You too shall be fine someday.

Tough time dont last @ogoowinner
Tough people do,
Everything isnt right now, but soon it would be fine, i feel for you sis, and i tried forcing the tears back.
But most times, i wonder why people with a good heart suffers the most.

It is well. Thanks for visiting my Igwe.

Welcome dear

The write is too emotional and the same confusing to me. I guess those who are close to you understands the message. I will implore to still have faith in God, sorrow may cometh in the night but Joy comes in the morning. I wish you well

It is well! Thanks for your comment here @yungchief.

I do a lot of things, most especially I start browsing the internet. Reading news or even go out with friends

I learn a lot from this post..
My beliefs is that 'hard times never last is just for the period of time '
I enter in many funzing,later on I run into loss.. When there is life their is hope.

Ogoo this will definitely pass. Nothing is permanent, we just have to strong enough to enjoy when our victory comes. Big strong, sis.

Dear friend! Next time also use #wafrica and follow @wafrica to get an upvote on your quality posts!

Crying to cool off pressure has been helpful but it always make me look weak in front of people. I don't blame them though, to the extent when I cry, they are never bothered because they are fond of it. I cry when am angry or sad not as a result of my situation but because I know that is much comforting than words. For me. Thanks @ogoowinner for this piece

this is what happening with me right now nothing seems to be going well but need to show the tough character

People see you, they don't see the pains
They see the smiles but not the tears
You are strong
Never doubt it for a moment.. I understand what you are going through.

my self as a n example, people see me online, they just assume everything is fine..
Sometimes I make joke, have a Lil laugh just to ease the pains.. I shed a Lil tears actually alot 😁. Honestly I don't look like what i'm going through.
I know it's not easy, I understand but hold on, it's gonna be fine. Every morning I look at my self in the mirror and I say to my self:
I can make it.

Honestly @ogoowinner
When you can not see a way,
Then the power to create one is in you.
If life hands you an empty wallet it is because you have what it takes to fill it up.
No challenges come to you expect that which the solution is in you
I believe you will come out of this stronger and better.
Don't forget you are loved.

I love you girlie😍

Thanks @ogoowinner for sharing this great post.

Truly, everyone has his or her time they cry... As the saying goes the Rich Also Cry. It only shows we are humans, and have emotions. But our cry should be brief and not a non-stop mourning session.

This your post has some powerful words of wisdom, which worthy for one to carefully reminisce on; some of them are:

When the going gets tough, tighten your seat belt and fly above the contrary wind!

You see, hard times ain't generally bad. It depends on how you choose to handle them.

Don't you ever wish you were someone else!

All my major breakthroughs come after a hard time.

Indeed, you're a superwoman!

Nice pictures.

Kind regards.

This is really moving! I myself is going through some tough time but I always keep in mind that there might be a lot of clouds right now but it will soon drift away and sun will shine. stay strong! followed u hoping to read more post like this :)

I learn a lot from this post..
My beliefs is that 'hard times never last is just for the period of time '

Sometimes it's okay to let the tears flow but don't let grieving get the best part of you. Also my dear, do not let anything make you doubt your faith in Jesus. He sees the tears you're shedding and gues what ...Joy will surely come in the morning

Like you rightly said, all the bad situations and circumstances that may come your way will certainly pass away leaving stronger and better.

Make it a choice to have a great day

Yes hard time may persist. But please you don't have to doubt your Christian faith. God knows all.

You said they are times for inspiration, don't you see you are maximizing the hard time?

Sorry about your health, but I promise you as others come and go so will this health issues.

Keep trusting in God. >by His stripes we are healed

When the going gets tough....

We'd get tough

Thanks for the motivation

inspiring post

You're a superwoman!
You should always cry when you feel like crying. It doesn't make you weak. I cry too. Every other person cry.

I adore the courage you have to always come out and inspire us with your life story.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

Do you now understand why I am beginning to doubt my Christian faith

I don't know how to say this that I'll make you know that I understand that things can make you doubt your faith. I may not know what you're going through but I've been closed to people going through a lot. We can only pray for a miracle. The doctor keep promising us. But it is obvious to us that they don't have a solution. They are only thing their best to make us feel good.

You know, we keep asking where is this God? What of the miracles we've heard? Are they fake?

Keep trusting him. I know that's not new to you. Many must have tried to give you hope. But you are a SUPERWOMAN. Believe me, you have a lot to offer this world. Don't let anything, anyone, or any situation cheat you from being that SUPERWOMAN.
