How do YOU manage to STAY afloat?
Ever wondered how some people just shrug off their daily worries and get on with their life?
It doesn't matter how bad the situation. They never fall apart
It all has to do with their experiences and how they grew up
We often hear the saying that when things get rough, we just need to get on with it.
But what does that even mean?
And how does one just continue on that pathway without dealing with the problem?
I grew up that way too
It didn't matter what the problem was; we didn't talk about it.
Ignoring, avoidance, and silly humour were all tactics used to 'help.' the individual.
As the saying stated, you just had to pick yourself up and get on with your life.
I am unable to get through to one of my dearest friends
She is experiencing a double tragedy, and she feels as if life is not worth living
Today we are all fortunate, blessed and grateful to find a community that cares
A community that will stop whatever that they are doing to say words that will uplift your spirits and give you a dose of energy to carry on
Today I am asking you all to:
- Share the things that help you to move on when you are in a very dark place.
- What do you do to help you continue with your whys and the motivation behind your reason at Wealthy Affiliate?
- How do you let it go and motivate yourself to prevent a recurrence?
I treasure all your responses, opinion and experiences.
Until next time,
Simone

I am not certain I have been in a very dark place, other than now, I have always been a positive person and I did not see the point in dwelling on negatives and would always seek a positive. I choose to focus on positive things and work my way through.
The reasons behind coming to Wealthy Affiliate are because I know the system works. The knowledge has been provided to me through countless testimonials. Therefore, if they can do it so can I.
I motivate myself with success stories and the community.

I appreciate connecting with you. Hope your week ahead is super productive
Good morning Simone,
Thank you for another thought-provoking blog post, it's appreciated.
I think we all know that life can be difficult at times, however, I believe it makes a huge difference when we deal with situations in the right way.
Problems will come to every single one of us, but it's how we deal with the situation that makes the difference. There's an old saying; "don't make a mountain out of a molehill"! Sometimes I change that to; "don't make a mountain out of an anthill"!
We need to have the ability to move forward whatever is happening, there are many situations that we cannot change. I really like your idea of using humour to forget about certain situations, they say that laughter is the best medicine!
If we think we are going to go through life without problems then we are seriously misled. However, if we prepare for problems and take action to solve the problems, then the problem becomes much smaller!
When I look at successful people, including successful members at Wealthy Affiliate. I'm sure that many of them had problems but they decide to keep going and pushed through. All the top business people obviously have absolutely massive problems, but they keep going! We need to do the same.
Having a faith helps me, I know I have a bright future and whatever happens, I can try and look at the bright side! Admittedly, this can be easier said than done, but soaking in self-pity will not get us anywhere, so let's look on the bright side. When I look through a problem with my own eyes it can be difficult, but when I look at the problem through the eyes of faith, the problem becomes much smaller!
Another thing that helps me and it also helps you wake up each reading a few positive blog posts from Wealthy Affiliate! It helps to wake me up and prepare me for writing!
One last note, I'm sorry to hear about your friend, maybe you are the only one who can give your friend hope. Try and be patient with her and be there for her, I know you will Simone.
Have a great day Simone.

Faith is the best medicine that one can have especially in the face of adversity
As long as we consistently uphold our faith, it can definitely move mountains.
As you've stated, in the eyes of faith, our problems are so much smaller than us viewing it with our naked eyes.
This is what you've used to keep you intact over and over again. A blessing tool that all of us need to be able to move from one place to the next.
Thank you for stopping by, Roy
Have a great week ahead
Thank you, Simone, it's always a pleasure to comment on your blog posts. I am glad you're in agreement with the above, faith is important!
Have a great day.

I had my part off dark moments more then i wished for but .... there was always a reason to move forward my dad has been very important in that part he was the one who never give up on my and always pulls me thru difficult moments .
It is difficult if you try to reach out to someone and she i is not convinced that life is not worth living . I think that's when she expects more people to walk away from her when right now she needs to feel that you're there for her even if you don't get through to her keep trying that's the best thing you can do for her right now
with some luck her state of mind changes and she comes around
Good luck with her i hope you get true to her some way

Having a positive influence and example such as your father is the biggest thing that will keep us and our emotions in check.
I will continue to support my friend all throughout her struggle.
Thank you for stopping by. It is a pleasure connecting with you.
