Handling Life's Setbacks

Handling Life's Setbacks

We've all had it happen to us before. Coming across an obstacle in our lives. They may all be different than each others road blocks, but they delay us all the same. We can attempt to put off our problems, or ignore them all together. Either way, we must overcome life’s obstacles and trivialities, or face the delaying consequences.

The purpose of this article is to outline some tactics for dealing with life’s obstacles, and maximize our efficiency all the same. To understand the nature of life's setbacks, we must determine what the problem is.

First: Classify what the obstacle is.

Second: Analyze the obstacle.

Third: Determine possible solutions for breaking through the obstacle.

Fourth: Execute your plan to get past the obstacle.

The obstacles in life can be defeated with adherance to this four step plan above. Do not attempt to hastily push through an obstacle. There is no great way to just “barge” on through life's difficulties. They must be dealt with in a well thought out manner. You will always succeed if you take your time in life. Life is too long to want to rush on through it. You must treat your obstacles in the same manner.

Never become discouraged over life’s setbacks. Here is a few steps you can take to help overcome your barriers in life,

A. Seek guidence, be it from a friend or a book.

B. Look up resources online to help you through your problems. There’s a good chance others have dealt with problems similar to yours and have wrote about it too!

C. Meditate and surround yourself with good karma and positive energy. The enlightened one can go through all of life's hurdles!

D. When all else fails, try writing about the problem, as writing about our problems can be a gateway to solving them. We are not restricted by anything except our unwillingness to go forward in life.



Life’s obstacles can be overcame. Fear not what happens, but what happens if we do not act. We, in a theoretical sense, are complex beings equipped with tools for solving our woes. To believe we are merely hopeless is wrong. None of us are truly incapable. The instructions given to us through our bloodlines gives us a natural edge in life's battles.

When we have our backs against the wall in life, we must escape our advesary. Everyday life is the enemy, as the simplest things bring forth life’s challenges. We must have a fighting spirit. As for my own personal problems, I face them head-on. I do not act hastily, and analyze the ways I can solve the problem first. In all honestly, I confront my problems and turn them into an inner struggle in which I can battle inside myself on my own terms. Our problems always come from ourselves, as does all suffering. We must remain calm and strong when faced with life’s pitfalls. Never give into our mental and emotional enemies.

Conclusion

We do not have to face life’s setbacks alone, as other people are the greatest ally in the battle we call life. Stand tall, for you’re already a warrior in life if you have made it this far. Please, be responsible in life and do not seek a way that has many rocks and other obstacles in the way. For our obstacles in life should be minimal for the desired path. One who is enlightened should be able to tackle all of life’s problems with ease. Be strong, my brothers and sisters, and fight the good fight, for I believe in you.
