Have you ever looked at the direction your life is in, and see what a big pile of stinking feces it is going? If not, I must applaud your life. Mine seems to be in a bit of a rut.
However, if yours seem to be in a terrible place at the moment, as well… Remember that what you are experiencing now, is just that – it is for now.
The mess that you are in will only be up to a certain point. The troubles and hardships will pass.
How can you live life if everything seems to be so difficult? By doing the same thing that athletes, musicians, artists, or anyone with a high enough skill level manage to do anything that seems to difficult – by doing it everyday. Sooner or later, it will become easier, but only if you do it everyday.
Living is hard, yes? Then do it everyday. It will get easier.
My dreams are dead or dying,
But this I must remember,
I am here on this earth living,
And the world owes me nothing.
In light of everything going on, I have to remind myself that the world owes me nothing. I am not entitled to anything despite everything I believe I am owed due to what I have achieved or done.
Handling problems is hard, most specially when there are people around you dragging their feet. It can be very frustrating, and, frankly, there are times when I am very tempted to give up and keel over with the punches thrown at me.
We are in a financial crisis, yes, but at least my wife seems to be more aware on how to handle our finances better. She insisted on holding the traditional role of budgeting our family’s finances, and well, I hope she has learned her lesson. If you can’t learn your lessons from books and teachers, experience will teach you a harsh lesson you would have difficulty forgetting.
I became more focused on my writing. It would seem that being in a tough situation helps me being more creative. I have managed to turn writing into an outlet, and have somehow polished and honed my skills. There is still a lot of room to improve, I just have to keep moving forward.
If there is something I have learned, is that being bitter about the situation helps with absolutely nothing. I must keep looking at the bright side, and focus on getting to the next day, and the next day for now. I can only chip at the problems that lay before me one at a time. It may seem like it is a large chunk that is unbeatable… but if I take it one slice at a time, it will fall, and I shall be victorious.
I know, yet I keep forgetting, and thus, I must remind myself constantly.
I hope you are doing well, and I hope you have a nice day. Thanks for reading.
I’ve noticed for a few times that I have posted here that despite my Publicize settings to Facebook was properly set, and that previously, all of my posts are immediately posted to Facebook once I hit that Publish button, my recent posts are not appearing to my Facebook page.
It is frustrating.
I do not know what went wrong, or if I had missed a new set-up that is needed. My mind is a blank.
I often find myself asking whether a post will be updated to Facebook.
What about you? Do you link your Facebook account to WordPress? And if so, does it publish immediately, or have you experienced troubles as well?
Any comment on this matter would be appreciated.
Edit: Yeah… It did not link with Facebook. Seriously, what in the world is going on here?!
