When I'm having a hard time, I always remind myself that if I give up, it won't get better. Mike Tyson Everyone has their own life and everyone has their own difficult situations in this life. There are no people for whom everything is smooth, without problems, everyone lives their own life and everyone lives with their own pain. This is fine. Your neighbor's grass is greener, his wife is more beautiful, his children are smarter, but this does not mean that he does not have problems, and you are simply unlucky. Each person has his own story, and as a rule, it is not as rosy as it seems at first glance. Everyone has their own war, and not everyone, unfortunately, is a winner in it. Sometimes difficulties and different situations cripple us on the path of life, and the blows of fate can be quite heavy and so strong that sometimes it is difficult to get up after them. But you definitely need to get up, I won’t answer you why or why. Someone chooses to lie defeated, someone turns this to their advantage in order to make their life easier, and someone decides to end it all once and for all. You will experience moments of despair, feel completely useless, you will be depressed and will not see any positive perspective. You will be torn to pieces by your experiences, which you will have no one to tell about, and you will suffer from this. No one will support or understand you. You will be alone. This will all happen, there is no escape from it. This is part of life. But there is one small “but”. You are the master in your life. You decide how everything will end in the end and how it will be, the responsibility lies entirely with you. Don’t let other people, circumstances, teachings, religions confuse you and deny you the true you. Don't let your fears decide for you how to live or act. In your life, only you know what is right, even if everyone is against it, even if the whole world says that this is not so, but something inside you will say something else, do, do as you see fit, don’t listen to anyone. You are the master of your life. Don't let it confuse you. If it doesn't work the first time, do it again and again until it turns out the way you want. Ups and downs are the way. Everything doesn’t happen the first time. Yes, they can laugh at you, look at you like you’re an idiot, judge you, don’t pay attention to it. Do what you think is necessary. Continue to believe in yourself and follow your path. Over time, you will be stabbed like steel, and it will be difficult to break you with such trifles. You will become like an icebreaker, breaking through thick ice to achieve your goal. You will become like a rock that cannot be moved even by strong winds. Everyone has difficulties, learn to take responsibility for them and solve them with determination. Don't be someone, try to be yourself. Freedom is in choice, and only you can make the choice, and at least your life depends on your choice. You can always give up, you can always give in to fear, you can always finish, but you have to try to find the strength in yourself and continue. But it's worth it. Thanks for reading.
