How to Keep Going Even When Life Is Unfair to You

To persevere and keep going even when life is unfair to you, first you must understand that whatever unpleasant situation you are going through today is not permanent; it is only temporary. Secondly, you must be determined to succeed in life despite all odds. Thirdly, do not have any reason to think less of yourself.

I promise you that by the time you read to the end of this post, you will have a sense that your life is about to take a new and positive shape, because I will go ahead to explain the points I have highlighted in detail above.

So, if you’re ready, then come on, let’s get real right here!

1. Always Have This In Mind

Just to let you know, life has not singled you out to be unfair to you. If you take a look around, you will still find some people whose cases are more severe than yours in this situation you are in right now. What is going to make the difference between you and them is that you are willing to go through the tough times and do whatever it takes to fix your life and become a successful person.

This blog post aims to open your eyes and prepare your mind to understand that you can still keep going until you reach your destination, no matter what life throws at you along the way. I therefore urge you to relax, activate your reading mode and follow me throughout this blog post till the end.

 2. Understand That What You Are Going through Now is Momentary.

I know this might even sound annoying to you right now, because you may have been hearing words like this for a long time. And yet nothing is changing. But let me be honest with you right now: I was once in a situation like the one you’re in now, or even something worse than what you’re facing this time around.

My first line, which I wrote, ‘I know this might even sound annoying to you,’ is enough to make you understand that I understand how you feel right now and what you’re going through. Yes, because I have been there and seen it all. I went through the toughest of it all and am still standing strong and tall, which is not what I want to discuss now. You will learn more about my journey as time passes. All you need to do is bookmark this blog and continue to check in every day to know my update for the day.

As I mentioned to you earlier, I would like you to give yourself this assurance now: this is only a temporary situation, and it will pass in due time. However, I want you to know that your current situation can only improve if you take the necessary steps. What are those steps? Do not get discouraged, do not give up and keep going.

3. Do Not Have Any Reason to Think Less of Yourself.

Now I understand that this can be pretty challenging. It is natural to start thinking less of yourself, mainly when you have already recorded several profound failures in the past or even presently. It will affect your pride as a man or woman and try to break you. It can affect your mind in such a way that you need to work hard on yourself again before you regain your self-esteem.

I understand all these quite well, but here I am to tell you that all these past or present failures can only weaken you if you allow them to. Yes, only if you allow them.

Understand that failure is normal, but do not let it define you. One good advantage of failure is that you can always learn from it. One thing again about the lesson you learn from failure is that it will surely bring out a stronger and better part of you. This is because you will take correction and go back, but this time you will do it better and achieve a better result.

So, do not let whatever you have been through in the past or the one you are facing currently force you to think less of yourself. You have all it takes to keep going, so get up right now, dust yourself off, pick up your pieces and keep going!

4. Have Goals and write down These Goals of yours on paper.

Before I continue, I want to remind you of the importance of picking on these goals of yours one after the other. Yes, I said ‘goals’ because it’s good to work hard and achieve as much as you can, especially now that you are still in your youthful age, and still have all the strength and energy. However, always remember to approach them one at a time. Always take one step at a time so you don’t miss it along the way.

Let me tell you what writing down your goals does for you. Each time you pick up your pen and write something down on a piece of paper, what happens is that what you wrote down automatically goes into your mind and gets registered there with time, if not immediately.

Then you will begin to have this urge and feeling that reminds you from time to time that hey, you have a goal to accomplish. It is also good that you write them down so that you won’t forget them, because the rapidity at which human beings forget is astonishing. You know that sometimes, they come to your head like ideas and once you forget them, it is gone and may not come back again. So, always write them down once they come to your mind.

5. Have a Strong Purpose For Your Goals.

I hope you know there is a difference between purpose and Goal? Okay, I’ll explain it to you better. The goal is what you have made up your mind to achieve. But the purse is the reason and the driving force for which you want to achieve that goal of yours.

This is very important: before you make up your mind to pursue anything you want in life. Sit down, fist, and ask yourself the reason you want that particular thing. Make sure you understand what the consequences will be if you are unable to achieve that goal.

By the time you have convinced yourself of the reason or reasons why you must achieve that goal, it will help put more fuel inside you, increasing your urge and burning desire for that particular thing you want to achieve. This is where having a strong purpose plays a crucial role. This strong purpose will help you persevere until you reach your goal.

6. You Must Become Tough Enough To Keep Going,

I believe you already know the meaning of the word ‘tough.’ There is a saying that when the going gets tough, the tough keep going. Listen to me, you don’t just need to be strong right now, you also need to be tough. I mean, very tough. Because that is what the situation at hand needs now, you have to prove to yourself that this situation of yours cannot break you. And guess what? That will make it run away from you as fast as possible because it has seen that you are strong and tough enough to resist it.

The moment you become too vulnerable to it, you will see that it will have easy access to penetrate you more. But when you let this challenge understand that it has visited the wrong person, trust me, dear, it will run away even before you start feeling it. That which you are scared of today is also scared of you. But you are going to give the upper hand over your life to it if you let your fear outweigh your courage.

My friend, be strong and do not fall for this, because this one too will pass. This is why strong people always imagine themselves in very tough situations. And that is only when they must have succeeded in overcoming and defeating it.

Summary

Most times, all you see in the face of successful people is a smile that makes you think that they achieved their success on a platter of gold. Do not mind that smile on their faces because those smiles can be deceitful. Only if you can see through them and see lots of invisible injuries and scars in their bodies, only then will you understand that a place of wealth and success is as painful as any pain you can think about. Success is not for the weak.

To keep going, just be courageous, be determined and resilient. Remember the purpose for which you started this journey. Also, remember how far you have already gone in pursuit of this goal. So, don’t you think it’s too late already to quit? Quitting is not for the winners because only losers quit.

I firmly believe that you have been blessed today by this blog post. I would appreciate hearing from you. Do feel free to share your thoughts in the comment box.
