Why isn’t life easy? So many of us think this when we’re going through a rough time but I want you to know that if you think others have it better than you, think again. Don’t for one moment believe the tripe that you see on social media. I have spoken to thousands of people from all walks of life, I hear so many problems, family issues, relationship issues, personal issues, people working through grief and that’s what I’m here for I’m not complaining I love what I do! However, it’s taught me that everyone all the time is going through something that they are trying to deal with and often wondering how and more than likely asking themselves why isn’t life easy or at least easier!
When you’re going through a rough patch, cry, talk to someone, do what you need to do to get through the hurt or frustration but don’t hold onto it, that’s self-destructive. Deal with the issue and move on, clinging to the hurt is just giving permission for them to continue to hurt you.
However, I want you to think slightly outside the square here, you see, we all feel as though life should go the way we want, or at least life should be easy, that it’s not fair when troubles hit us, especially when we’ve been doing our best to be the best that we can be!
Hear me out …… what if you changed your perception of life so that you realised that it ISN’T meant to be easy, that you know you are constantly going to meet challenges and that’s part of the process, that when something ‘bad’ happens to you, that’s actually the way it is meant to be and that it’s ok, it’s not a punishment. So, instead of sitting there wondering why isn’t life easy for you, think instead, “oh a new challenge I wonder what I can learn from this?” because it’s not something ‘bad’ it’s something that is meant to be, it’s all just a part of the process.
If you do this, you may just find that you don’t get so worked up about all those ‘bad’ things that happen, that you just go ‘ok some more shit, that’s cool, it’s nothing I can’t handle’ and you just deal with it and then continue to enjoy life, you don’t let those ‘bad’ things overwhelm you and rule your life. So, instead of asking ‘why isn’t life easy’ instead you’ll be saying ‘life isn’t meant to be easy and that’s ok’.
See how you go, it’s not an easy one to try and change the perceptions but it’s worth it.
