Challenge yourself

Keep it interesting

So, my dear friends and readers. It feels like time for another post,

continuing where we left off - but going into a little different topic this time. How to make or keep our everyday-life interesting enough for us to have or get enough inspiration to keep going on. One way, is saying yes and being positive and open to challenges life throws your way every now and then. Perhaps small ones every morning, day or night - and sometimes we all get the bigger ones that we feel might "finally take us down". This is what I know something about.

Challenges make a persons perception to life and everything around him larger and wider, and helps our own personal mental growth. This is one of the most important aspects of helping ourselves -- yes, making it all worthwhile.

All of this, is also visible to the outside world. When people see you get over your obstacles in life, see you take care of large phonebills or such, and feel better for it, they see the so-called glow that sticks to you from that thing we call success. It's a feeling, which can be seen with eyes. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Some people disapprove to people being open with their success. Maybe they say something like  "hey, that dude gets so and so much money because he got a great job cheating his way in somehow". They are jealous, or just angry because they haven't felt success in a long time, which has made their attitude to the world around them neutral at best, but often only negative and "kranky".

  In my opinion, we should commend those who create their own success, or luck - as some people say it. It's punching those challenges right in the face when they appear as they most certainly will to each and every one of us. Let's be happy for those who are happy. This might even be a small challenge for some of us. Once upon a time, it was for me. I didn't like things I couldn't do or get myself. These days, my attitude, that "everything that isn't bad, is more than just neutral or good", helps me beat those challenges I get quite often.

What are we to do when we try and try, but cannot overcome the obstacles we face? The challenge is too hard, or we just don't have the tools to beat it. This is probably the thing most people get anxious and depressed about. Or just simply because of this "phenomenon".

Thumbs up!

  Ask for help. Even if you don't have anybody - ask your mother if nothing else is available. Swallow that silly pride and ask for help - you will get it. From where? - That I cannot tell you, nor can I tell myself the answer to that question either. Sadly, this is how it is. But when we aren't alone, we have more tools, and thus more opportunities to find what we need to get over the problems that bring us down. For there is always at least one, who loves us for who we are.

Seek, and thy shall find.

Yours sincerely,

Tomas
