Difficult People & Difficult Times


Many times in life we are faced with challenges, and sometimes these challenges feel insurmountable.  We want to live out our dreams, but there are these interferences that keep popping up.  We seem to keep hitting that wall, and become frustrated enough to want to give up.


I'm here to tell you that it is more important than ever to not give up.  The difficult situation or difficult people that seem to come between you and your dream life are tests.  The tests are designed for you to develop something, be it a thicker skin, better problem solving skills and even sometimes to change the direction or the way that you're approaching things.  


If things become so difficult you want to give up on your dream life than try these simple techniques:


1) Take one day at a time; or even one hour.  Sometimes a day can make all the difference in the world in a given situation.


2) "This Too Shall Pass"  I love this quote because it is something we all too often forget.  Everything passes.  This day, this hour and this moment.  If you have a difficult appointment, time or phone call to make, remember that but in a blink of an eye in your lifetime, this uncomfortable moment will be nothing but a memory.


3) Keep it Simple:  Try not to resinate or create scenarios over "what ifs".  This is not productive as most of what you are imagining or projecting will never come to pass.  Just wait it out.


4) Do Nothing.  Don't act.  Don't think.  Don't move.  This can be the most powerful advise you get.  Sometimes the best thing to do depending on the situation is to do nothing at least until you have more information.  Let things play out - and most of the time the exact right things will happen on their own.


As we are tested in life, we can choose to either grow into more or shrink into less.  Don't give up on your dream - keep growing into more!
