oudYou probably think that I’m mad when I tell you that you should face struggle. Struggle isn’t that bad, it makes or breaks you. It all depends on how you deal with your adversity and if you ever learn anything from it. Do you think that a real man always gets lucky when he dates? The answer is simple: NO. There are some things you just can’t control and dating is the perfect example. People like to nag and complain when life gets a bit tougher. We’re all becoming spineless pussies that accept whatever comes around. We just let the problems keep on coming but we won’t learn anything if we don’t take action. You can’t sit down and watch life go by.
So why should we face struggle?
Because sometimes life can get pretty comfortable and that can be very dangerous. Once you become comfortable you can get overconfident or you’ll break once you get some headwind. You’ll be the one that looks down and doesn’t want to look up anymore. Suddenly you get from the comfort zone to hell, suddenly you don’t enjoy your life anymore. You were always a morning person but suddenly you want to snooze. You want to stay in bed all day long and just sleep.
This can lead to a depression in the worst-case scenario but this sounds pretty depressing to me. Beating depression without pills is possible but it’s better to avoid it. Your life becomes a living hell once you’re imprisoned inside your head. Always keep in mind that your setbacks will turn into success if you don’t give up. The key is that you keep pushing until life gives you back some joy and happiness. If you keep pushing the universe will get out of your way but sometimes it takes a while.
Struggle and positivity
This is the power of positivity, you can keep going no matter what. It’s hard but you focus on the outcome rather than focusing on the road to the outcome. The more struggle you face the more you’ll learn to adapt and keep on moving forward. You have no choice, you can’t avoid struggle unless you want to live inside your house forever. If you face a real heavy struggle you can take a break and then kick it straight to the curb.
Let me put it this way:
We’re all helpless creatures that accept our faith when we face a heavy headwind; luckily some people are smart enough to turn around. Sometimes you’ve got to face the heavy wind so you’re able to grow and become a better version of yourself
Headwind and dead wind are the same it’s all a matter of perception.
I’ll become an internet meme one day if I keep sharing quotes like this.
Some people will never get the quote above. People will think I mean wind or think I’m insane but people with the right mindset will get it. People who are developing this mindset will also get it.
It’s no big deal that you don’t get it right away. Just take the sentence with you and think about it. I provide you some struggle and you’ll face it and conquer it.
People who never face struggle
But what about people who “never” face struggle? Well, they face it but deal with it in the wrong way. They throw away the painful boomerang that’s called loneliness. They just “drink” their troubles away and keep on doing it till they hit rock bottom. Happy people won’t go overboard with alcohol. Unhappy people try to escape with pills, powders or some other shit. I know this because I did it myself and saw other people doing it over and over again.
I was a sheep instead of a wolf. So I was following the herd.
A coward instead of someone who took action.
I didn’t show what I was made off.
It took me more than a year to accept that I had a depression and that I had to fix it. But suddenly I realized that I needed to make a change. Suddenly I needed to make a change. I learned to be more disciplined than I used too.
Now I can face struggle better than ever. I have a bulletproof mentality and I do everything to keep it that way. People think you do everything flawlessly after a while. They assume that you don’t have problems anymore. The problems keep coming and the struggle is real but you just know how to deal with it. So take a look at your past week or month and try to find out what made you uncomfortable. Try to find out what unfixed problems you have and I can guarantee you that you’ll solve them.
But how do you ask? Let’s face some struggle
First, you need to realize what the real problem is and look at the roots of the problem. You need to address the roots of the problem to fix it. Now you know the roots you need to look at who’s involved and what’s your part in it. Sometimes you made a mistake and you’ll need to swallow your pride and admit it. Forget about your ego and just admit it. Sometimes other people made a mistake and it’s up to you to see if you want to keep those people in your life. When people disappoint me twice in a row I’ll won’t do any effort anymore to fix it. Sometimes other people’s mentality can be the problem and you can’t fix that.
A real man takes care of his problem and gets rid of people who keep on making troubles. Some people will think you’re a jerk but in the end, you’ll be the one that ends up happy. That’s right society doesn’t like the real man anymore.
Social media zombies struggle the most
Maybe they even dedicate a Facebook post to you. Maybe they shared a little quote that you need to read to know that you’re the one to blame. Too bad not everyone is a social media zombie. Some people can’t appreciate anything not even when you show them the best version of yourself over and over again. That’s a part of life and the everyday struggle. There will be girls that will never like you even after you treat them well, co-workers will envy you because you work harder…..
The struggle is real.
The struggle is everywhere.
Enjoy it because it’s something you need to face.
Take the hit or stay in deep shit
Face the struggle before you snuggle.
