What to do when nothing seems to work out?
Life sometimes doesn't want to cooperate with us. What are we supposed to do in this case, you may ask. Do what you are expected to do. Survive!
As I see it, you have 7 options:
- Nothing. Simple as that.
- Meditate. This one is my favourite, however I find it dangerous for the weak. If you are not mentally stable to endure the reality, to analyze your issues, and come up with a strategy, you may want to try something else. And it's not just about being strong, it's also about refraining from turning to lying to yourself. Most people simply can't handle the reality, and this is absolutely normal for humans. Lucky us!!!
- Find a distraction. Concentrate on something entirely different, an activity that will need all your attention. I'm talking about something that has nothing to do with your current issues. Of course, this may not be the best option, as it requires you to forget for a while about your responsibilities, that can't wait for an eternity, but at the same time it will give you the chance to realize just how much you need to complete your previous "assignment".
- A Surprise attack. Now, this one is for the fearless. Nothing compares to a surprise attack! How about approaching life with a surprise attack? I mean, if life enjoys torturing us, why not fight back? Instead of the usual frowning-sulking period, try something you've never done before, so that life will get way to scared to play any other "games" on you. Think of life as a kid with a smartphone, and you are the main character of a video game. I hope that cleared things up. :)
- Leave and forget. We've always been told that only cowards give up. However, I think that everyone should know that some things/goals/dreams aren't meant to be accomplished. With time, circumstances might change, opportunities might pass by you and your purpose might take a huge turn. Learn to leave and forget when time is right.
