Uniformity is something that doesn’t go well with the concept of life. Life is full of ups and downs. One day you will feel like you’re at the top of the hill, and the next day you will feel like you are in the deepest, darkest pit. It might not be possible for everyone to escape the setbacks of life, but it is rather a better choice to accept the uncertainties and enjoy life while it lasts. Life is like a magical roller coaster ride that will surprise you at every step of the way. If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy the bumpy rides and uncertainties of life, then, this article is meant for you!
Here Are Some Tips To Enjoy The Roller Coaster Of Your Life!
- Hold On To And Make The Most Of What You Have.
When you sit on a roller coaster and it starts, it’s the moment you lose control of where you are heading. All you are left with are "the rods" to hold on to. It is your choice at that moment to either scream or to close your eyes and just enjoy the ride.
Remember, we can’t control all the factors in our lives. There are only certain factors that we have some control on, and everything else is beyond our control. Embrace life as it is, and enjoy it while it lasts.
- Stay Positive
It’s okay if you get afraid during challenging situations. But it's not okay to become demotivated and lose hope. Remember, every dark night is followed by a sunny morning. Trust the process.
"Legal Eagle: 90 Days in Embracing Jail" written by Pamela A. Newman beautifully conveys the same message on how to remain positive and hopeful despite of what life throws at us. You must give it a read to know how you can make the most out of your life.
- Have Patience
If you are in a difficult situation and it seems like you will not get out of it any time soon, then, be patient, and remind yourself that "nothing lasts forever." Neither the happy times nor the bad ones are there to stay forever. Tell yourself, “This too shall pass.” Patience is key and it will help you get through all your difficult situations.
- Cherish Your Life.
Sometimes, you need to let go of the reins to savour every bit of your ride. When life surprises you, why not enjoy the surprise? Take a deep breath and enjoy the bumpiness of your ride. You will not regret it.
Takeaway
Indeed, you can’t control what life throws at you. The only thing you can control is how you perceive and encounter the challenging situation. Once you change your perception, then no matter how difficult the situation is, you will get through it. We should rather take the setbacks as an opportunity to propel further.
As Pamela A. Newman rightly says in her book, "You can only go upward once you have hit rock bottom."
