7 Steps To Accept Tough Situations In Life
7 Steps To Accept Tough Situations In Life
There’s a mysterious place called Octopus Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Octopus Springs is one of the unique places on Earth that’s labeled an “extreme environment.”
For life to exist here it’s poised with ‘against all odds’ defying challenges. The fact that life can even exist at all is nothing short of a miracle.
But life does exist. Against all odds, it finds a way.
Humans have more in common with these extreme environments than we might initially think. Although we have water, sunlight, electricity, heat, and shelter, there are still periods of our lives – sometimes long unbearable periods – that we wonder how life can be so cruel, hard and impossible.
So uninhabitable.
Take a look at the 4 dreaded D’s of life, any one of them alone is enough to collapse us to our knees.
The 4 dreaded D’s:
- Death (Have you recently lost a loved one?)
- Disease (Are you sick? Or is a loved one sick?)
- Divorce (This one is tough too, it’s like an entire piece of you is cut away.)
- Downsizing (Losing your livelihood is extremely stressful!)
And if any one of these things isn’t considered extreme – well, quite frankly, I hope I never have to experience a truly “extreme environment.”
You are alive. Many causes and conditions came together and you were born. All sentient beings suffer.
To exist is to suffer.
Life is meant to be a spattering of good and bad.
The problem is that the bad is utterly debilitating. It knocks the life right out of you; it often leaves you gasping for air amidst a pool of cold loneliness.
Know this my friend – you are not alone.
I’m serious.
Whatever you are going through, no matter how difficult, sad, unfair or turbulent, countless others have felt this depth of despair.
Countless others RIGHT NOW, this very second are feeling this level of depth and despair.
This is not to take away from or minimize the gravity of your pain, but it is comforting to know that you are never alone
