what do you need to stay tough

One of the things that you need to stay tough is to live for someone. This is the principle i see among single moms. They have to work extra hard because they dont have anyone else that they could rely on to give their kid a better future.

There are few simple tips from my side: [b] Understand one's character:[/b] When you see people with harsh words, rude behavior or who hurt you from deep inside, try to understand their character. Try to analyze their nature. Feel the pleasure in studying others' character. This may sound weird. How can I patiently study one's character while he's hurting me by his words?! You can... with practice. Once you get used to it, you'll have the maturity to handle any type of person. Whenever someone acts rude, mean or whatever, you can simply ignore it by saying to yourself 'After all, it's his character' Whatever happens... it is for your own good To feel this, you must have a habit of analyzing your past. Once you start doing this, you'll see that all the problems or difficulties you have been confronted with in your past have caused some good to you. This is 100% true and I have felt this many a times. Now I have got that maturity that I don't get affected so easily by unfavourable situations. I can handle any kind of negative situation as I'm damn sure that it is going to give me some boon in future!

That's right. We need to stay strong physically, mentally, and spiritually as well. When the going gets tough, ride along and try to survive the times as much as you can. I hope everything is temporary and one day we will all wake up to a new day that is free from stress.

Life is rewarding so we are happy . On other hand , life is hard. If one isn't tough he maybe beaten by life.One shouldn't lose heart at any time. And be positive ,Loving and being loved are good. although life is tough we should make ourselves tough to meet with any kind of challenges. And we should pray to God to help us . God will help HIS children.

I think to journey through the challenges life requires, that we have determination, perseverance,tolerance, and patience. Also we need to work very hard and also be prayerful on the spiritual aspect of our life.

I certainly agree with you my friend it is really good to be tough in such situation being strong at most I would say being defensive in one way or another right but perhaps things happen at its own course but what is important is we are always ready in times of adversities and abrupt in responding to it though.Being pretentious sometimes play a great role in masking oneself from an annoying situation guarding you from the real situation even at the out most one an obvious way of defying oneself from it but what can we do but certainly to go with it and to ride with the situation right no matter what it can bring us whether it can do good or bad for us.We should not feel bad also if people surrounding you doesn't really care it's their own prerogative to be acting that way maybe they are born to be insensitive,what is important is for you to exercise your rights,execute your freedom,have more faith in God and asked for his will and guidance and live a happy life who cares you will be someday amazed by it somehow.

tough and hard times call for tough disposition in life. you said it right, there is no need, on one hand, to be cruel and harsh, and on the other hand, no need to be emotionally weak and naive. to be tough does not mean to be insensitive to others. to be tough means that all the challenges will be confronted with determination. it is also about doing things right.

I completely agree with you. As time goes on and as I get older I have found this to be necessary. I have for the most part been a person who is sensitive to things.I'm now working on being the opposite.I just at times feel tired of feeling like how others act really affects me.I think that it is important for me to be able to enjoy my life no matter what others do with theirs. I can't control another person and people will have to answer for their actions whether good or bad. So it's important for me to do what I need to.

You are very right. I want to be like that too. Most of the times, I feel weak but I'm tying so hard to be tougher than I really am. I'm still learning how to do that. And for inspiration to be tough, I just think of the people who loves me and I also have some inspirations.

I wish I knew how to do this. It has always been a problem for me that whatever happened and whatever I had to face affected me emotionally too much. I would like to stay calm, being too sensitive is bad only for me, nobody else. I found that it's much easier when I know I can rely on my loved ones.

that's true..sometimes you don't have to care..other thing that makes you stronger are the people that you treasured all along but they had hurt you so deeply..and those people you cared about had abandoned you and that's what make you to be independent.

I agree with you. Sometimes, we need to be tough inside so that we survive this life. It may be difficult at first but this is all for self-protection. Good luck and have a nice day.

I think I am tough on the inside. I find I don't need someone to tell me that I am doing good, I don't need people to waste their words on me. I much rather congratulate my self than have someone tell me I did a good job.
