The Emotional Roller Coaster!
Why is my life going nowhere? Everything I do isn’ t working, Everything I try isn’ t working, my passion is low and no one can give me the answer I want. I didn’ t sign up for this life. Have you ever had this conversation? So what do us to change this thinking?
We know life can be an emotional rollercoaster but no one told you it could get this bad. The other interesting thing is once you arrive in the deep dark depths of“ my life suxs” it doesn’ t want to leave you. Furthermore, you decide to put it behind and you try a few ideas and then they don’ t work. Then one day out of the blue you really blow your fuse.
The anger and frustration, the blame, the guilt the despair and the empathy flow out into the open and you are left with nothing else to say and no one seems to care. You are putting your hand up for saving( you think), but after months maybe years of trying to achieve something, your friends, wife’ s and partners turn their eyes down or roll them back and the little cartoon message appear above their head.
“ God he has lost it again- he’ ll be right in a few hours”
When what you are looking for is for someone to just tell you how to fix the situation. Guess what people they don’ t know how. If they could find the answer then and there and help you along they would, even if it is just to shut you up. If they knew how they would gladly help.
Self-mastery is not an easy journey. In my experiences it has made me find some new lows. It has challenged everything I have believed, worked at and has humbled me, to find a faith and a belief that I can and must lift my thinking and actions to strive to be the best I can be. The rollercoaster is always there it just depends how much energy you intend to place on it.
