Life's journey is not always smooth sailing. Sometimes, when things go wrong abroad, it seems like one misfortune after another, leaving no time for a breather.
Fragile individuals may begin to question life itself, wondering why they seem to be destined for such hardships. However, except for those exceptionally fortunate individuals, most ordinary people will encounter some unlucky days in their lives.
If you find yourself going through a rough patch abroad, here are three things you must remember to do.
The first thing is, no matter how tough things get, always stay on the right path. Never resort to shortcuts or dubious means to make money. I know some people abroad feel tempted to make quick money when they see others doing so, especially when they're barely making ends meet and can't see any hope for the future. They start questioning why they should continue working hard for so little when they could easily earn more through other means. However, if you believe in the power of time and persistently earn money through honest means, you will eventually achieve the life you desire. But if you fail to recognize this and impulsively resort to illicit activities to make quick money during tough times, you will only ruin your own future.
The second thing is, the more unlucky and difficult things seem abroad, the more you must muster the courage to face life with a positive attitude. Some people give up at the slightest setback abroad, thinking that after all their efforts, they have nothing to show for it. Once the seeds of negativity and apathy are sown in their hearts, it becomes difficult to return to a normal life. When faced with unlucky or challenging situations, you should treat them as tests rather than hardships. Believe that when life throws challenges your way, it's because it believes you are capable of overcoming them. Once you conquer these difficulties, a better life awaits you in the future.
The third thing is, when facing adversity abroad, do not let your emotions affect your interactions with family and unrelated individuals. I understand that when you're feeling down, the pressure can be overwhelming, and it's hard to control your emotions. However, in such moments, think twice before speaking, and never let your bad mood affect others. Venting your frustrations accomplishes nothing and only strains your relationships with family members. During tough times, it's essential to seek encouragement and companionship from loved ones. Therefore, be mindful of your words and actions when communicating with others.
While abroad, you may encounter situations you never thought possible and face challenges you thought you could overcome. However, life is not as simple as we'd like it to be. Only by gathering ourselves and starting anew with a positive mindset can we overcome these challenges.
Rather than shying away from reality, let's embrace life with a smile. No matter how far the road ahead, we can reach the end. Keep a calm mind, hold onto your dreams, brave the storms, and fear no failures. Dare to act and pursue the fading self.
Perhaps we'll be ordinary individuals all our lives, but that won't stop us from choosing how to live. The world is far more fascinating than we imagine. Don't let life or what others say defeat us. Striving just gets us through, but striving relentlessly makes us excel.
