Facing reality

I will start by saying, facing reality is not an easy task.

 

 

At some stage in our lives we have to  deal with things and situations that are not ideal.

 

When being completely honest with oneself about certain things, it can be really scary  and become quite messy and we hardly know to handle it or are not fully equipped to deal with realities when confronted with it.

 

Sometimes we preamp and anticipate how we may go about to handle things. For example, if you know a storm is coming, you will equip yourself with the necessary gear and equipment to protect yourself but what if the storm is bigger than expected or it arrives unexpectedly? You have no choice but to use the resources you have and hope to get out safely on the other side.

 

'Facing reality isn't the easiest thing to do, but accepting your current situation can make you happier in the present and also lead to a better future'.

 

Facing reality of your situation is hard and takes time to process, deal with and accept. By keeping a journal and writing down your feelings and emotions helps you to acknowledge that the situation is real.

 

Once you have assessed and accepted your situation and what you don’t like about it as well as how your actions contributed to creating it, you can now decide how you want your life to be different going forward.

 

Life gets tough at times. There are many things that take a toll on us and some challenges and failures seem unbearable but through it all don't lose hope, don't give up on your life and your destiny - Rise from the ashes, cheer up and move forward!

 

 

Hopes in Life

Everyone have their goals, dreams and hopes, no matter what their age.

 

Normally, our desires change as we grow, because at different stages in our lives, we have different thoughts, needs and expectations. What is amazing is that as we mature, we start to think about things that we don’t normally would have thought about. No matter how challenging it may be, but most people will try their utmost best to achieve their goals, dreams and hopes.

 

 

What is it that you hope for today or in life?

 

Is it for a dream house, car, better job, no debt, forgiveness of your sins, to have a greater level of spiritual joy, a better relationship with your family and friends, good health, financial stableness...?

 

Or are your hopes perhaps focussed on self-acceptance and confidence, inner peace, independence, to make a positive difference or simply just to be happy?

 

We all hope for something and if you don't, the very least you can do in your life is to figure out what to hope for.

Once you have figured it out, "the most you can do is live inside that hope. Do not just admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof!" ~ Barbara Kingsolver

 

Most importantly NEVER let go of hope. One day you will see that it has all come together - what you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back & laugh at what has passed.

 

"When everything else fails, there is only a single rope you can hold on to, that is HOPE"

 

"Never lose hope. You never know what tomorrow may bring."

“Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”
