Difficulty Doing Anything In Life Needs Focus, Attention, Awareness And Then Effort

What difficulty can I have with honesty and change?

Is it not a part of the framework of life, so what can I do to change that or influence that?

Maybe not a lot, but participate we must. Otherwise life can just pass us by. We wonder why other people are getting on. Why they seem happy and contentment - most of the time. Why their lives seem an adventure and a time of enjoyment and fun. Uncovering new things, discovering new opportunities.

Ours in contrast seems grey and sparse. We clock watch most of the day. We sit alone in the canteen. We travel alone, we sleep alone. Even when we are with others they seem on a different planet to us. They are chirpy and light, we are silent and feel heavy. And so it can go on.

Why is it this way? A choice on our part at some point? How it has always been and we have not managed or tried to change it. No one wants to be with us. We have tried that but it did not work.

Difficulty. But why? Perhaps it comes down to the basics, most things do. Our feeling of self worth is shot, to not put too finer a point on it. We do not feel worthy and hence we are not worthy.

Our self esteem is low. We see nothing much in ourselves that we like. We try to imitate others but the gap between us seems too big to jump.

Our self image is poor. We do not see ourselves in a positive light and our body language and emotions support this view of ourselves.

Our self talk is negative. The positive is rare and not believed, the negative seems to fit the bill.

Our self awareness and self acceptance is off the chart. We do not like the way we are and wish we could do something about it, but cannot seem to.

Hence why difficulties seem to appear before our eyes. And on a regular basis. Everything is a chore. Everything demands. Love and support seem far away - even if close at hand. We feel on our own.

But one of the hard parts is recognizing there may be a problem. Don't recognize it how can you seek help or support. Know if not believe that others have 'suffered' like you but have come out the other side. And so can you.

Difficulty. This has described a fairly extreme case. But they occur. And if we are on a slippery slope of poor luck, poor fortune and the like, we need be wary.

If we know what can happen perhaps we can see it coming and do something about it. Put some effort in, seek trusted help and support, weather any emotional storm, and come out the other side a battered, but more confident, more rounded, more knowing individual.

If you relate to any of this start to believe things can change. Start to put some of the support foundations in place and you will be on the path, though it may be winding and long, to recovery - to your former self and more.
