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...
