Difficulties

We all have difficulties. As some of you may be able to tell by my missing out of words in my Opuss', one of my difficulties is dyslexia.

But I'm not writing about my excuse for never learning to punctuate properly. I'm here to ask a question. How do we over come our difficulties?

The term difficulty, is a bit vague so I'll try and specify a bit. A difficulty from my perspective is anything that stops you being, doing, seeing, feeling, watching, desiring and learning what you want. It's fear, paranoia, hatred, laziness, temptation, and stubbornness.

I've met many people who have turned there lives around from drugs, horrible experiences and being generally unpleasant people. And they all tell me to turn your life around, you need to get around what is making turning your life around difficult for you.

My biggest difficulty in my life is paranoia. Paranoia of not being good enough. I don't see a way around that personally. But I'm sure there is. But I'm not paying a shrink one hundred nicker an hour to tell me.

I want you as the reader to help yourself get over your difficulties. First thing you can do to do this is identify the difficulty.

I can bet one of you reading this is going to pipe up with saying "how can you get over having no money and not being able to get a job?" by looking for a job youre already overcoming the difficulty, that just requires patience and self improvement by every rejection. And it can be done. Hell I did it. My teachers in school once told my class, in front of me, I'd be serving fries at McDonald's until food stamps had more range of choice. To which I laughed and said "if that's what I want to do, so be it."

So whatever the problem, you don't need anyone's help but your own. The difficulty is variable to you and only you. Identify the difficulty. And over come it. I just haven't figured out how to do that last bit yet...

Changing For Hope

The brain is the body’s most resilient organ to change. It’s eerily complicated and impossibly intricate. That’s also why hopelessness can scare us more than anything.

I like your definition of difficulty and your suggestion of approaching it. Indeed the process of overcoming a difficult is initiated much before the entire thing is wiped out.

Some people may think that, those qualities in a person are endearing

Easy to overcome a difficulty if you do not term it as difficult! Right?

@salettesiao yes, but, just saying something isn't difficult or dismissing it as easy

@salettesiao doesn't mean it's so, unfortunately.

Agree but it depends on the way u look at it . A positive approach does help sometimes

I've always tried to think of a difficulty as a challenge - I feel like I'm really achieving something, even when it's something small..

@jrrg15 anything you've done is an achievement. It's just how much we value it.

People who have hard things like dyslexia, learn to use alternative ways and get to the same or usually better result. I may be bias as I'm dyslexic too!

I'm fully aware of this! My dyslexia really helps me when I'm learning new music. This Opuss was to talk about difficulties in the broadest sense. Not just dyslexia, I mean paranoia, shyness, no money, no job, a fear of heights. Anything that makes anything else difficult is a difficulty, dyslexia was just an example.
