Overcoming Challenges as a Young Man.

in Project HOPE2 years ago

I decided to put out this publication because I am very much aware of a lot of young men who are going through a very tough moment in their lives and sometimes they just wish the pain they feel can disappear. Society believes that the male gender is supposed to be strong enough to hide their pain and have the courage to go through whatever life throws at them without complaining.

Realize you are not alone.

Life challenges are normal to happen to everyone, regardless of what life throws at you, there are other people who are going through either a similar situation or even worse. When you have the realization that you are not going through the worst challenges in life, it gives you some type of hope and makes you feel better.

Hang out with close friends.

Amongst one of the very huge benefits of having good friends is for moments like this, having good friends is a great way to get our burden lifted and our soul happy again. Sharing our burden with friends is the first step to getting our problem solved.

Learn how to ask for help.

As a result of society regularly expecting the male gender to be on top of their game at all times, we often find it really difficult to ask anyone to help us. Stop fighting the need to seek help, talk to someone or a mentor, ask for help may be in form of monetary value or in form of advice, feel free to ask for help whenever you need it and accept support from others because no man is completely an island.

Become a source of hope for another person.

One of the ways to feel better is through giving hope to another person regardless of how little it may appear. By becoming a source of hope to someone else, you feel really better and happier. Helping others does not only do well to the person you are helping but to yourself as well.

You may need a change of environment.

The environment you find yourself in might be a limiting one holding you back, after proper thinking you may realize how limiting your environment is and the need to change it. Not everyone needs this when they are going through a difficult period but you just need some deep thought to help you realize if you will need a change in environment to help makes things better.

Focus on a bigger picture.

Regardless of how difficult the situation is, hold on to the big dreams and goals you have in mind all the time even if the process appears slow and difficult. Holding on to the big dreams you have will make the journey even easier.

Conclusion.

I understand that life may be unfair and difficult, these things happen even to those who have attained huge life success, the goal is to keep moving, strive for more, know that things will get better, and not give up on ourselves. Thanks for your time and have a great weekend.

I really love all the point, such a nice post. One thing that you mentioned that I certified is that you mentioned leaving ones comfort zone. The is very to do but of a truth if you can make that move, probability of you making it is big.

You are right brother, one of the most difficult thing to do is to leave a comfort zone but once that area is checked, every other thing plays out nicely.

Hello @gbenga!
Life is full of ups and downs, of joys and sorrows, of good and not so good moments, it is a journey that we must enjoy in the best way and learning from each experience to continue stronger and certainly in those not so good moments we can resort to these tips that you present us especially keeping the faith and hope that nothing is forever and that those moments will pass. Thank you for sharing!

Hello friend @gbenga.

I agree with you life is often unfair and difficult but we always have to have high self-esteem and know how to deal with things, not everything in life is difficult or suffering there are also moments of joy that fill you all those bad moments, and as you say the goal is to get ahead never stop fighting for our dreams.

Greetings and thank you success
