Stay Positive When Bad Things Happen

Bad Things In Life

No one ever said life is going to be easy. We all have experienced rough times in our lives, some others more than most. We all look for our answers when bad things happen and especially when it happens to good people. It can also be very easy to start the blame game or the “what if” game after bad things happen.

Let’s face it though, we can’t prevent or predict when bad things happen in our lives. Honestly, bad things are more likely going to happen to us in the future.

Life can be pretty complicated with mayhem and at times you may feel like you been knocked down so hard that you may never recover. There is hope though and although it may not seem like there, just remember it can’t rain all the time and there will be light eventually.

How We Cope To Bad Things In Life

The way we overcome bad things in order to keep pushing forward in life and not letting it get us in “Quicksand” is all dependent on the way we handle and react to these outcomes in life.

Don’t Worry About The Things You Can’t Control – There is no point stressing yourself out in worrying about the things you can’t control. Focus on what you can control and that is the present, not the past or impossible things for the future.

Learning Experience – The most effective thing we can do from rough events in our life is to learn from them. Whether you are spiritual or not, there is a driving force in this world that tells us that things happen for a reason. Seek out that reason and embrace it. If a difficult event happened in your family that has brought everyone together then maybe that reason is getting the opportunity to spend time with your family that you may never have done before. This is not to say to forget or ignore the problem but try to learn from this experience, it is the only way to get better in life.

Keep It Positive – You must stay head strong and always look for the positive in life even when it looks bleak in life. Keeping a positive outlook will help you push through this temporary setback in life. You are what you think. Watch funny movies and T.V, go out and do something fun or spend quality time with friends. Do whatever you got to do to stay positive.

Keep Pushing Forward – Never go backwards, you must always keep pushing forward and overcoming obstacles in life.

Have Faith / Hope – Finally, the thing you must keep is faith and hope alive. This will pass, tomorrow the sun will rise again and the future will become better. You have to maintain a sense of hope or otherwise you will be holding on to something that will keep you complacent. 

Having hope will give you purpose to move forward.

For Self-Motivation

Motivation is always necessary for an individual to progress. But it is rare that this motivation is available from external sources, so self motivation becomes important for the growth of an individual. 

Self motivation is like a lens that helps you to develop some skills internally and can achieve a lot in life. Generally people are capable of really great things but find it tough to achieve it. They just need a push that can help them achieve their dreams. This push can come only internally. There are some techniques that can be applied in your life. Initially it will take some time before this can be implemented and is successful. Here are some tips for implementing self-motivation in your life.

1) Positive thinking helps

Positive motivation requires you to get rid of all your negative inhibitions. This will help you to venture to do things that you have never done before. Negative thoughts will only lead you to failure. Develop the attitude of can-do and focus on the brighter side of things. Mistakes can happen, but do not be scared of it. Making mistakes helps you to gain wisdom and learn things.

2) Know exactly what you want

Understand what you actually want in life. Visualize for yourself what you want to achieve. In fact pen it down; it will definitely help you to get a clear picture of what you want from life. Be reasonable and pen down those which you know you can achieve. In order to motivate yourself, visualize achieving these goals and feel the joy that you get from it. This will in fact help you to overcome your hardships.

3) Only hard work pays

Once you have your goals visualized, you have got to work hard and do your best to achieve it. Keep your eyes fixed on the goal and work on. Sometimes just the joy of achieving the goal is so great that even the monetary benefits seem less.

4) Do not get discouraged

Life is never smooth and there are always ups and downs. But as you move on in life, success always comes to you. When you face a hurdle, motivate yourself to get over it and remember that there is always a way out. Never dwell on the failures instead focus on the opportunity that is about to come up. Experience teaches you a lot, and learning from your mistakes makes you a better person.

5) Be satisfied and contended

Do not compare yourself with others. You are great as you are. Stick to your standards and try to improve yourself with respect to your standards. Satisfaction is the key to happiness and helps you to be self motivated.

Happiness is a lot dependent on how often you motivate yourself. It helps you largely in achieving your goals in life. Hence it becomes necessary to motivate yourself always .

5.  Be a Leader – Don’t just sit on the sidelines waiting for the world to change and expecting others to change for your benefit.  Grab success by its horns and take charge.  Go out and be the leader where you can inspire others to become positive and productive too.  Having people becoming inspired and being a role model for excellence will also help you establish in surrounding yourself with successful people.  Don’t wait for things to happen, go out and make things happen.

6.  Goal Setting – Have a plan for success.  Set your goals on a daily piece of paper and plan out your priorities from the top to bottom.  Finish each task before starting another.  With long term goals plan out a vision board and business plan for the rest of the year.  Having goals outlined in your life will give the drive and motivation you need to become happy and successful in life.

7.  Work Out & Eat Right – In order to take care of yourself on the inside you must also reflect wise decisions on the outside.  Eating healthy and working out will keep in you a great state of being more productive and help maintain an active mind.
