Life gets tough

Life is not easy. It’s actually very hard sometimes and believe me I’ve had many moments where everything seems great and then all of a sudden it’s a quick downward spiral into the dark dark hole of depression, and suffocating anxiety and confusion. You will never get rid of it, it’s always gonna find it’s way back ( they’re super pushy). But I know we are far stronger than it. I don’t think we realise just how brave we are; but when you go about your day even though your heart is heavy, and when you are able to understand others even though you were never understood, and when you go about life even when you don’t really know how to live anymore, that’s brave. Next time you feel this way, I hope you’ll remind yourself how brave you are, and be able to find your way out.

That's so true. We all have something inside us that wants to fight. With the right resources we can get back up and keep going.

Very nice post

Thank you that has given me the impetus to get on with hovering the house from top to bottom

Thank you for your uplifting words. It's difficult to realize how brave I am when I feel so vulnerable. Helpless. Hopeless. Worthless. Clueless. Mindless. Needy.

But you're right. To continue to put one foot in front of the other takes courage and an awful lot of strength and endurance. The ability to continue on some days seems impossible. But the brave can do it.

Hello, as Dr. Scott Peck said, 1st line, 1st page," life is difficult". In his book the Road Less Traveled. A great book, was of much help to me. He also quotes Buddha," Life is Suffering". We can transcend it, I have, it took a whole lot of work, and years, but well worth the effort, I am free, I do not worry about Anything, have learnt to live in the Grey, have not expectations, gave up being judgmental, most things are neither right or wrong, they just are! I live in the moment, gave up the past, except for the good memory's, as far as the future I'll deal with it when it gets here. I am content and happy everyday. I wish I could give the way I feel to everyone. I send you all peace, love, happyness and big hugs......Sprinkle 1.....
