This Life

May 18, 2012 8:23am CST
I know we live entirely different lives and my life ain't that perfect, but I'm okay with. Though sometimes I still look for answers to my questions why I had to live a life like this. I'm not saying I'm not contented with it but there just comes a time when a encounter struggles that seem to come out of nowhere and just ruins my perception of how to live life. Maybe all I need is a little push, a little inspiration. If you were in my shoe, what would you do if you have so many struggles in your life?

Hi Mike,,,,,don't we all? I mean life can be so beautiful and merry now, only to be all messy and muddy the next minute. But to be honest I also sometimes feel like its only me who's going through that. And when that happens,often times I find myself asking the same question......why me? And,what did I do to deserve this? And, what lesson is there in this one. And many more questions without answers at that particular time, but later I look back and say oh yes Lord, You knew better. So just hang in there and know that He is Lord.

In fact, not only you have struggles, all of us have struggles in our life. We should need to face to it and find out the solution....We can avoid it this moment but we have to go back to it tomorrow or some days later to solve it. Just think simply and be calm down...everything will have its solution, right? Wish you a nice day!

well, talking with people whom you trust helps clarify your struggles and provide you with a little push and encouragement. these can be families and close friends. they will never put you down. they will always help you to boost your energy and confidence so that you can pursue your best and potentials in life. i usually visit my family and talk to my mother. she knows best, of course.

I know that I am very lucky for the life that I lead, and I know that it could be a lot worse, however sometimes I just cannot stop looking at certain people and thinking how much I wish that I was able to live their life instead of mine. There are some people and everything just seems to go right for them without having to put any effort in, and they seem to have an amazing social life in comparison to mine. However I have a wonderful family, and I know that if I had the chance to live as somebody else, I would not actually change my life for the world.

Life is indeed full of struggles my friend. We have to be strong and have faith in God, that we will be able to hurdle those struggles. Without our faith in God, we will be in despair. SO, call on HIM when times gets rough, but even in your happy times.

Don't over think it. Everyone deals with different kinds of struggles in their lives, some people can cope with it, others may not. But at the end of the day we are all human and we were all put on this earth for a reason and we're meant to be here. Don't go looking for answers to all of your questions because that will just end up confusing you more. Struggles tend to come into your life at the worst times, but that shouldn't change your views or who you are as a person. My advice is to hang in there, my friend. Stay aware of your life, but don't over think it. And keep your eyes open for brighter and better days.

I do have many struggles in my life. I am taking depression medication, and also pain medication. In two months i gained close to 40lbs, I have a wife that puts almost everything down(negative atitude). We live with my parents, so there is a struggle to be boss. i live in a tug of war it seems like in which both parent and spouce wants to control my life. I will be going top graduate school, so i need to have full concentration on my studies along with dominering people in my life. How do i cope, i am a walking meditating peson, which means i drown life out around me. I block out what is around me. i take things for granted and at face value. i am use to it. i have a poker mentallity, which means i stay straight faced and no one can see what is going on inside and outside. I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder which helps me very much in this situation, because i am child like, and children don't care about the outside world they just let naturwe take its course. I hope this helps your situation. Take care.
