Hindrance and Downtime

254 Views 20 Votes 31 Comments

Just wondered how you deal with hindrances and downtimes in your life. Many have life issues out of their control, and frustration starts to build up. If you say anything you are a complainer. If you don’t say anything nothing gets done. Either way nothing seems to get done. 

I had a conversation with a friend and she was going through many trials in her life. She had done everything she knew to do about an issue, with no results. She said she has done nothing wrong, but the other party refuses to acknowledge her presence. I listened and just told her to keep her head up and things will eventually work out. She loves the man and is broken hearted. I told her love will find a way somehow.

This is how it is in life many times. No matter what we do or say, things can often be turned around and taken the wrong way. In life the things we cannot control are always the ones that bother us the most. We have to learn how to keep our heads held high and take the high road, no matter what. Many things cannot be explained. 

I will end with saying that it is sad to see how some are mistreated and others are put up on a pedestal. It is very unfair. But nothing I can do about it except listen to my friends when they need to vent.

  1. You have a very lucky friend to have someone like you to share problems with. You gave great advice to him or her. I don’t like to complain about my problems, I try to fix them, if that isnt an option, I let Karma run its course, sit back in silence and grin. I love it when you can see Karma in action.

  4. Good points here. Often trials make us strong but trials are hard to go through as there seems no end in sight.
    Yes, it make take a while, but put your head up and just take one thing at a time.

    I have had issues with my life, one hard to deal with is grief and loss. Another is when I see abuse to myself or someone else and I cant do anything about it.

    All sorts of things come up.

    Some people never seem to get a problem but it isn’t always what it seems.
    You never know, they may have a member in their family that took their own life, they have everything and then they have to life with the suicide of a person that they were close to.

    Life can be very tough. It does help to have someone to talk to.

    Yes, I have some problems which are hard to cope with but just have do my best I can at the time.

  5. I am at the present time in a difficult situation which I will not burden you or Virily with. So on my own I shut up and let things move by themselves. But it is a very slow process and is taking its toll on me and no matter if I ever talk about it and say my opinion, I am put down constantly. So I just continue to live the life that I want whenever I am away from that particular situation. For now it is OK but I do not know how long I will be able to withstand it anymore. Thank you for letting me vent a little bit via your post although I am sure it does not apply to deep set problems.

    • I am so sorry my friend. You can message me anytime if you need to. It sounds like deep set problems to me, nobody should have to endure being mistreated. I am here for you my friend. Hugs to you.

      • Thank you so much Carol but I certainly did not mean to bother you with my problem. I do not want to burden you with it, at least not right now. Maybe if it gets worse or just plain dragging along… But again thank you very much again.

  7. I also had many trials in my life. I was quiet for a while and then I decided to give my opinion. Although my opinion did not change much, I was able to handle everything more easily

  8. While I may not be the friend you mentioned but I definitely benefited from your listening ears! 🙂

    You’re right its never good to dwell on certain things…
    it’s better to let go and move froward …
    but that still doesn’t change my opinion of it.

    • No but we did have a conversation and this does also apply to you. There are things happening that are unfair and I have no control over them. It bothers me to just have to sit back and do nothing while others have these issues.

      • Hmm… I don’t think you’re sitting back doing nothing because it seems like your post have open an outlet for the people affected to come and then just speak out their mind. I know it really helps to get things off your system.

        Perhaps your post even ring a bell to the admin. Who knows. I know you wish to do something about the situation… but as we all know, it’s beyond all of us.

        Your effort to help and kindness is greatly appreciated! I’m sure I’m not to only one feeling this way!

        Perhaps, you should take the high road with us 😀

        • You may be on to something. I hope so, because I know there are many who need a place to talk. I am also working on every day taking the high road, trust me! Others try to knock me down but I get right back up. 🙂
