Ambivalent. Doubtful. Dilemma. Quandary. Confused. Troubled. Abashed. ...

 

These words are all referring to one thing: Confusion.

 

Have you experienced being ambivalent of something? Doubtful that you may not do something you have to? Have you been thrown into a state of dilemma wherein you have to choose between right and easy things? Have you been in a sate of quandary thinking of what to choose between the things you like and the things you should have done? Are confused of what you feel right now? IS there something that troubles your mind so much? Are you abashed by some means wherein you can't sleep well?

 

Those are just few questions we've been asking to ourselves. We often find ourselves being in a state of confusion and we can't fight it over. Hence, there are some who just committed suicide just to get rid of the problems. There are some who just take illegal drugs just to erase the bad memories on their minds. Nonetheless, there are still praying and doing good things just to solve the enigma of life.

 

Well, I am one of those who constantly pray for the answers and keep on moving just to be happy and contented. I was once a confused individual who always ask myself regarding the things I perceive that I felt to be odd. I tend to focus my attention on my problems instead of any other things. I experienced being loathed, I experienced being fooled and I experienced being pushed away. Nevertheless, I keep on moving. From that point then I learned to stand. I learned to push through even though there are some who keep on pulling me down. I thank GOD so much that he never leaves me. I also thank my parents and my friends who are always there to strengthen me. Now I can say that I can erase "Ambivalent. Doubtful. Dilemma. Quandary. Confused. Troubled. Abashed." on my vocabulary because I believe that those things won't exist on me anymore. Whatever it is that would confuse me, I promise myself to answer it and to solve it as soon as possible. I don't want to live in a way wherein problems, confusion, enigma and chaos surround me. Life is too short, we can't measure our stay here in earth so before my time runs out I am going to live everyday to its fullest just enjoy life. I can move on with a smile telling the world that I am invincible! Problems may block my way, still, I can move because I prepare myself to every difficulties that may come. GOD, family, friends, my dignity and integrity are my best weapons against all odds…

Now, I am happy with my life compare before. I can tell now that my life is full of color. Although problems keep on coming, I still am happy because it only means that I have the capacity to solve it!

Being confident and ready to face upcoming problems is very important in life. I'm very happy for you, because you managed to develop these qualities. That's really great :)
It's a shame, but I can't say the same thing about myself: when it comes to something serious, I always hesitate to make a decision, I always doubt. "Ambivalent. Doubtful. Dilemma. Quandary. Confused. Troubled. Abashed.", you say? Unfortunately, that’s the world I live in. I’m not saying that my life is dysfunctional because of that, but getting rid of such things is not easy. It takes time and efforts.
And what would you do, if there’s a problem you’re not able to solve for some objective reasons?

Well, I think that things become easier when you learn who YOU really are. Then you start to see things differently. I was so unhappy before, and I cared too much about what others had to say about me. I was afraid to say what I  thought about some issues. I'm working on my self-esteem every day. I try to be in peace with myself. Of course there are always problems in life and that's inevitable. There are always dilemmas in your life, but the more you know what you want from your life the easier their solving becomes.

Well, if I found soome problems to be so difficult to solve, I let myslef be in a place where serenity emerged. I let myself think of that in a positive manner that I would solve it sooner or later with or without the help of my loved ones. Positivity is the only key to everything…

Yes, life is not too easy to handle. There are certain things in this world that threaten our lives nonetheless there are people who can help us to emerge from the well of pang. Whatever happens to us is the fruit of what we actually do. We are the ones holding our fate.

If we do good, we harvest good and if we do bad, we harvest bad. That's the only thing we are sure of. And, always remember not to rely on what you just think, be open-minded.

I’m sorry if I have forgotten. Anyway, the thing is that, we need to share the ideas of handling tough situations and solving miseries in our lives.

Yes, simply because they only let themselves be in a small place where they try to solve their problems. Our purpose then is to establish to themselves the huge space of life where they can move freely and at ease. It so selfish to just talk to them and telling them that they can handle it, they can do it, they can surpass it and so on. Why don't we try then to teach them to do what we are telling them to do so. From that point then, they will learn and they will apply what they learn to upcoming problems they might face.
