Life is not what it is if there was no trials and tribulations. We go though it simply by managing them. Some of us do well, others falter and succumbed to something worse than what they were. Digging deeper into the rut, as it were. Nakamora began his advice to his friend.
Everyone has faced at least a difficult situation. So am I, he continued. But I didn't let it eat myself away. To me there are three steps in handling situations like that. First, get away from the problem so that you can think afresh. Distance yourselves from it so that you can see things in better perspective, including your own fault. Get busy, revisit the hobby and do the things you longed to do but have not the time.
Second, get real. Accept the fact that everyone make mistakes, including yourselves. Accept the fact that things have happened. Everybody has problems, everyone has difficulties. What makes everyone different is how they handle and overcome the problems. You have the choice of brooding over it endlessly or move on.
That brings me to the third step, that is get moving. Make the best out of the situation. The best in the worst situation is better than the worst of a good situation. For in the latter you are moving backward instead of forward, regressing instead of progressing.
So, remember: get away, get real, get moving, Nakamora concluded.
Life is hard and life is tough....
