Your hopes inspire you to keep trying in a helpless situation. We stop trying as soon as the hope is over.
But a strong-willed person is not affected by helplessness and hopelessness. He/she does not stop trying even when all hope is lost.
Ordinary person try with hope but strong-willed person try with determination, he/she does not depend on any hope.
But at some situations in life, everyone's will power becomes weaker, at that time hope becomes the support.
Sometimes such a situation can also come in life when the will-power also ends, the hope also ends, the person becomes completely helpless, then in such a critical situation his/her faith/belief becomes the support. This belief can be about anything, it doesn't matter what that thing is.

And I don't know what to do when faith/belief is also gone.

By definition, chronic is 'continuing a long time or recurring frequently' and today my client called to say she wasn't coming to town as previously scheduled as she developed a chronic cough a few weeks ago and is waiting for it to go away. No problem, I told her to let me know when she's coming and I'll reschedule to meet with her.

All through the phone conversation she was interrupted by coughing attacks. With my history of asthma, I suggested she should see specialist, like a pulmonologist who has a better understanding of respiratory issues than her family doctor. She's been taking cold medicine with a cough suppressant and that isn't doing the right job. Hopefully she can get over this quickly with an inhaler or other medicine specific for her condition.

There is a different kind of chronic that deals with mental health issues. The chronic complainer, to be exact. People like this find reasons to complain about anything and everything... I heard someone describe it as "The 3 bears syndrome" where one bear says it's too hot, the other bear says it's too cold, and the lease significant bear says it's just right.

What could possibly be wrong in the life of someone who gets up in the morning, comes to CS to read blogs, doesn't find any to their satisfaction, so they post a complaint blog as though there is something wrong with the other blogs. There is no medicine for that type of illness... or maybe there is?

I used to have a boss who described other bosses who 'pushed' their employees to do better. He said that was wrong and they should be in front 'leading' the workers to do better.
Better by example.
If something wasn't being done correctly he would show the worker what to do to accomplish a goal and not belittle the worker in doing so. His employees were motivated by his work ethic. It wasn't a perfect world as one employee was a chronic complainer. The boss took the time to train the guy properly where his performance improved and the coworkers were happier as they no longer had to listen to him complain.

That was a win-win strategy in dealing with a chronic complainer!

In the past that seems so long ago I kind of found my way back to me in this crazy site.
I went through so much emotion and in the end I found without realising it that I needed to learn how to deal with Me, I realised that She had been buried so deeply inside my heart because I was needed as a Mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend etc.

Almost it seems a lifetime ago when CS helped me find Me again I didn't comprehend then how much so many faceless strangers could help me find my soul again.

So when life decided to knock me down a few steps, I came back to the place I felt safe enough to put out into the universe "Me"

From thinking my life was going to be this gentle growing old with someone special who I loved for the Man he is, but I discovered when I was told I am not enough, that I maybe was just there to help him find himself.. surely you would crumble into pieces if that was as real as I wanted it to be?
And yet I find I feel lighter and I can see the Woman who was quietly waiting for the next phase of this crazy ride we call life.

So here I am :
"Hello again"

Human cannot find logic in everything, so they have to take the support of belief. We should not be so logical that we always have to depend on our mind. To give some rest to the mind, the support of belief should also be taken. And don't become so blind in faith that even the common sense of our brain ends. Neither logic should dominate faith nor faith should dominate logic.
Keeping a balance between Belief and Logic, taking both together can bring happiness and peace in life.

hope creates happy-hormones

One day everything will be alright, this hope helps us to be happy in hard times. But sometimes seeing the bad incidents that have happened to others breaks the hope that 'one day everything will be fine'.

When do you lose hope?

Your words are the mirror of your personality. Every word that comes out of your mouth comes out with the feelings and intentions inside you. You cannot hide your intentions for long with fake words.
But wordsmiths can trap you by using fake words.

Happy Birthday to me thank u lord for one more year old thank u for the give of life I really appreciate it n more blessing to come

What seems right today may seem wrong tomorrow.
It is not possible for everything to be right and good in life. Everything that seems to be perfect has defect. sooner or later that defect will definitely come to the fore.

Life does not always give a chance to choose between right and wrong, sometimes there are only wrong and you have to choose one wrong out of many wrongs.

if you think you have nothing in your life to be happy, see those who need crutches or a wheelchair to walk a step, still you have two legs, two hands, two eyes.
You have enough in your life to be happy, you just have to accept what you have and don't expect what you don't have, you just do what you can.
What you got very easily, many do not get even after hard work.

It is very easy to be happy, you just need to change your way of thinking.
