Be strong when the waves of life come crashing down on you.

Every now and then life likes to throw us in the deep end and watch us drown. We tend to find ourselves in overwhelming situations that we don't know how to deal with. It could be a death of someone or it could be something like having fear that you don't live up to your expectations. In this post I want to give you a few ideas to deal with struggles in life. 

First thing I want to state is that pain, struggles, and hardships are inevitable. Nobody escapes these things in life. Some may appear to deal with more than others. Don't let this depress you , but let it inspire you. You might be asking How can that inspire you? Well its easy. Knowing that you will experience suffering is a cause for hope because, you know you have a chance to prepare for it. People who prepared are never as badly affected as those who are not. Like I said struggles are inevitable so make sure your preparation is just as inevitable. 

Realize that your hardships make you a better person. 

If you want to learn how to deal with life then you need to realize the opportunities you have in the struggles to grow as a person. You can prove to yourself that you have the will power and the strength of character. As time goes by people will notice how you are still moving on with life despite what you are going through or have been through. 

Life's crashing waves won't last forever. 

Nothing last forever. That is a Great truth in this universe that can apply to everything. As depressing as it sounds its also a relief. Next time you are struggling you can remind yourself it won't last. No matter how bad things seem now, the crashing waves are impermanent. 

Realize you are not alone.

Though we often deny it, we are not the only one going through a particular hardship. Of course someone else's problems may be a little different from yours or may even be worst. When you open up the fact that you are not alone you get a boost of powerful reality strength. Even if you haven't known anyone to go through what you have been through, just knowing that someone somewhere is out there who is just like you really makes you feel better. Another thing to think about is that thousands of people may have been through what you are currently going through and have made it out the other end. If they can do it who says you can't?
