What Does It Mean to Go Through Hardships?

Whenever a person goes through any form of hardships, it consists of an event or events that tends to lead to a negative outcome.  For Me Personally, My AA Sponsor told me that he cannot sponsor me anymore.  I will admit that I was crushed because he has been my mentor for 12 years now.  Right now, I have to start all over again when it comes to looking for an AA Sponsor.

Next, I want to inform everyone that I do not accept failure very well.  The reason why is because I have never been taught on how to accept any form of criticism unless it is coming from my elders that are in my family.  I have been accepting constructive criticism from my nieces and nephews themselves.  Most people tend to either fight me physically or mentally.  I end up still feeling scarred.

Hardships is like pushing or pulling something that is much heavier than yourself.  I know that I have been pushing other people’s weight around all of my entire life.  I am not saying that I am a gullible person.  I am straightforward when it comes to my opinions.  I know that my life has been filled with ups and downs as of late.

My definition of the word hardships are physical and mental or emotional demands that a person applies to themselves.  I know that life is really what you make of it!  I know that my life has not been very easy to deal with.  I want to inform all of you that when my Elders died in my family, I felt very sad and depressed.

Further, I want to inform all of you that when my great grandmother passed away, I knew that she was not coming back.  I cried for over an entire week.  I even cried at her funeral.  The circumstances regarding her death could have been avoided.

 My great grandmother did not have any business being committed to a Nursing Home in the first place.  I could have taken care of my grandmother.  I had a house in the Toledo, Ohio Area during that time.  I know that my family members and I really do not speak to each other.  It is not my fault!  I love my family members, but they really do not love themselves.

Moreover, I want to say that if we are placing too much physical, mental, emotional, psychological, or financial demands on ourselves then we are going to fail at everything at life.  This is the reason why we all have to remain optimistic about our present and future.

In Addition, the wear and tear that we put on our bodies, it will cause all of us to suffer a lot.  This is like a form of pressure that we are applying to ourselves prematurely.  I want all of you to know that God does want all of us to live and serve Him.  God wants all of us to be Christlike and save other people.

Finally, I want to inform all of you that we have to be positive in our lives sometimes.  No matter what we are going through, we are supposed to make a difference in another person’s life.  I know that my life has been filled with some of the dramas that have been in my life.  At this time, please keep me in your prayers.  Thank You Very Much!!
