When nothing seems to matter, you've got to look to see what others have done. I guarantee you that someone before you has weathered a very similar storm to the one that has you "trapped" now. I know you think you are along. I thought I was alone. That no one had ever had the problems I had. But I was utterly wrong on that score. I am glad I was. You will be too.
I thought no one could have had it so bad as I. Now, this is not to diminish your problems in any way. I am sure that for you, they seem insurmountable at times. But I thought the same. I found ways out. Or ways up. However you wish to phrase it.
I started by reading Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking. Way back when, this book started the self-help revolution. It was not so much that Dr. Peale had gone through hardships himself. It was the true stories he told of people who had. Using a positive attitude, these folks worked their way out. Folks who came from far worse economic circumstances, far worse physically fortunes, far worse mental trials, than I had ever even imagined. They triumphed.
The main reason they did was because they adopted a affirmative posture. But that is not the main point of this article. The point I wish to make here is that when I felt I couldn't go on, I found people who had gone on in far worse situations.
You have got to do the same for yourself. It seems too simple, I know. But when you go looking for yourself, you accomplish two things.
First, you find people who have had it worse than you and have persevered and triumphed. These will inspire you. They will make you say, "If they can do it, so can I."
Second, and actually more important, you will have done something for yourself. You will have taken an initiative that will help you understand yourself. You will have said, "I will not tolerate this in my life any more." When you say that and mean it, you have taken a very, very important step in getting out of whatever it is you feel yourself "trapped" in. And getting out right now.
Seems too simple? Try it beginning in this minute. Search the Internet, for example, for stories of people who have succeeded. Napoleon Hill comes immediately to mind. Read his book, Think and Grow Rich. His book is in the public domain now. Meaning you can read it for free on the Internet.
Start today. When nothing seems to matter, you need to set forth immediately discovering that you are not alone and that you can triumph as have others before you.
