When we’re making plans for something we need to do or somewhere we need to go, we try to plan effectively so everything will go well. But sometimes complications occur that are out of our control. Sometimes it’s a small manageable glitch, but other times it seems like everything goes wrong. The sky falls, and it’s a complete disaster. It’s like our lives have turned into the Bermuda Triangle – everything has gone crazy, and nothing is working. When we’re in the midst of these situations, it is very trying and difficult. It can seem that the stars have aligned against us, and there are supernatural forces at work. Of course, none of that is true. We’re just going through a difficult situation that, for reasons we can’t explain, just keeps getting worse. In the midst of the mess, it’s hard to keep going, and it’s hard to remain positive. But sometimes we have no choice, and no matter how bad it gets, we have to trudge through it.
It’s important to reach out when we’re tormented, and feel beset. We can ask for help. Those who care about us want us to be safe, and happy. They will assist us if we ask. Sometimes we think we can handle things on our own, or we are embarrassed by the situation, and asking for help is difficult. But if we try to face everything on our own, and it’s overwhelming, it will be much harder to solve than if we get help from others. We’re only human, and everyone has been in situations like this. We can get the help we need, we can get advice, and we can get assistance to navigate whatever we’re going through until we can manage it more effectively. After things settle down we can learn from the experience and move forward. Later when someone else is going through something similar we can return the favor and help them. Our compassion for their situation will be enhanced by the experiences we’ve already faced.
It’s hard to cope when a lot of things go wrong at the same time. We may find ourselves asking, “Why me?” It can feel like we’ve been singled out for trouble. But everyone gets the opportunity to experience these kinds of situations from time to time. It’s never easy. It’s never fun. And it’s rarely expected, but we can navigate it. It takes courage and patience, but we can handle it. There really is nothing we will face in this life that we can’t manage. Nobody wants to go through times like these, but when they come, we can manage them. We are capable of handling whatever comes to us. There is nothing that will defeat us.
Today if you are overcome with a situation that has become intense, and complicated, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Turn to someone you trust. Those who care about you will help and you’ll be able to get through the situation more comfortably. You will conquer this, and you will be successful. When the trial is over, remember how much it meant to have support when you needed it. And then, do the same for those around you. Remember, we’re not going through this life alone. We’re all in this together. Reach out when you need help, and be there when others need you.
