How to handle a difficult life

It's so mind-blowing that something so basic is still so difficult to understand for many people, but brace yourself. I am going to say the most obvious thing you have never thought of.

The best way to make your life easy is by becoming stronger

I know it sounds obvious, but trust me, it isn’t for so many people out there. Think about it for a second, the stronger you get, the easier things are going to be. You might not be able to lift 50 kg of weight right now, but a couple of months in the gym, you will do that with ease, so if you have a difficult life, then the best way to make it easy is by getting stronger.

Ironically, those difficulties are actually there to make you stronger, but somehow you find a way to stay weak and complain instead of getting stronger. It's like a student asking himself, “These exams are way to difficult, how do I pass them?” Duhhhh genius, by studying!! So the answer you are looking for, the solution you are desperately seeking, and the magical spell you are secretly wishing for is simply for you to become stronger

Getting Stronger

Sure, your life is difficult, and I definitely don’t know what you are going through, but one thing I know is that you aren’t going through anything that is new to man. What you are going through, a good number of people have already gone through that before, and they made it through, proving that it is possible. How they made it through is by becoming stronger and that's the way you are going to make it through aswell.

I am not quite sure what you are expecting when you complain about your life being difficult. Maybe you expect a magical solution, or probably wish the person to whom you are complaining would take on some of that difficulty for you. Well, this is the solution you have been looking for, You need to get stronger.

• Stronger Physically
• Stronger Emotionally
• Stronger Mentally
• Stronger Financially
• Stronger psychologically, etc

Getting Smarter

Another way you can make your life easier, which is less common, is actually by becoming smarter and finding smart solutions to your problems. There are creative ways to deal with all the problems that plague your life. Through deep reflection, you can analyze all the causes of the difficulties in your life and figure out an ingenious way to solve them that makes you comfortable. This method isn’t linear, and there isn’t a specific way I can explain this to you, the only thing I can say is that if you feel confident in your intellect, then you can try this out.

Where the limits are

Getting stronger or smarter isn’t something new; it isn’t even something uncommon because millions of people do that every single day. The only question here is: why aren’t you trying to right now? The explanation to that question is the fact that you have placed limits on your mind. You have already made up your mind to not fix those problems but rather enjoy the comfort of complaining all the time to justify your own laziness or incompetence.

Imagine there is a rock blocking your front door and making it difficult for you to get out of your house. Instead of getting help or getting stronger in order to move it from that position, you would rather enjoy the struggle of going out every day and meeting your neighbor to complain about that rock.

Because the problem seems huge, you tell yourself there isn’t much you can do about it but to endure it. The reality is that you are just putting limits on your mind to what you can do. You could pay for a relatively cheap gym membership to get stronger; you could read books instead of watching TV all day; you could ask for help from smarter people on how to deal with those situations, but you don’t do any of that; you intentionally don’t try to get stronger for one reason or another.

Conclusion

There is a lot more I could say on this, but I think the point has been made: to have an easier life, you need to get stronger, and the only obstacle to that is you. Let me know if you would like a follow-up to this article on how to get stronger.
