Overcoming Life's Challenges and Difficult Times
Overcoming Life's Challenges and Difficult Times Author:Tim Connor Sooner or later everyone regardless of age, gender, position, nationality, economic status, race or religion experiences some form of adversity or trouble. It is as much a part of life as every other circumstance you will ever experience. Life is a neutral concept. It doesn t pick on certain people and shower others with only blessings. Some peo... more »ple could look at others and say, Those people are wealthy; I ll bet they have never failed or felt despair or discouragement. I have news for you. No one is exempt from life s trials and tribulations! Life is nothing more than the ebb and flow of circumstances and conditions. Yes, some people may seem to get more than their share of bad times while others seem to get more good times or circumstances than they deserve. But be careful not to judge. There is one underlying theme in this book; You can t always control what comes into your life but you can, if you choose, to always control how you respond to it or act because of it. Adversity, problems and failure, no one wants them but everyone gets them. How you choose to see them or define them will have a great deal to do with how they impact your life. If you fear failure and choose not to stretch, try, experiment or reach because of its consequences, then the fear of failure now rules your life. If you fail and learn, then you are in charge of your life and its outcomes. If you are discouraged, troubled or afraid I hope you find some answers or solace in the words that follow. For the record, I wrote this book when I was in one of the most challenging times of my life. Another of my mentors and heroes, Eric Butterworth always told me, No matter what is going on or how difficult times may seem, use your pain, discouragement, loneliness and despair to get in touch with who you are, what you believe and your creative potential.
