When We End Up In A Mud-fest, LET'S ROCK!

When We End Up In A Mud-fest, LET'S ROCK!

Mud-fests are enjoyable to talk about BUT for clarity, in our thread today, we'd like to see how do we handle things WHEN we're IN THE MUD but NOT from choice and NOT for playful acts.  YES, in the past, I've been IN THE MUD quite numerous times and I realized that I always had two options , namely to opt-out OR to opt-in.  When We End Up In A Mud-fest, LET'S ROCK!  While opting-out was an option, I realized that that is a loser's mindset, someone WHO loses the game by default with nary an effort exerted at all📗📙📘

You might ask, HOW often should we brace ourselves for getting embroiled in those MUD-fests in life?  I'd counsel that you hope and pray that it DOESN'T hit you BUT the harsh truth is, this will hit us all at some point[s] in our life.  I got hit, once, twice, thrice.  And you might ask, HOW WAS IT?  I'd say that definitely it was NO FUN but looking back, if it hits me hard again, I'm much more hardened and prepared to be much more resilient than I was😊😊😊

Sharing how I handled WHEN I was in the MUD:

• I had to face things up front, pull the bull by its horn
• I had to rope-in my support structure [I needed that]
• I had to listen to advice [as much as I had my own]
• i had to remain optimistic [based on my strengths]
• I had to be more resilient [than I was used to be]
• Regardless WHETHER you believe in God OR not, you got to have that rock-solid faith that you will weather that gathering storm at all cost

SO HOW, when we're IN THE MUD in life?

• First things first, your mindset is to eventually extricate yourself out of the MUD
• Secondly, summon all your strengths, including your capabilities yet untapped
• Thirdly, your end-result is to move forward.  NOT even the status quo is acceptable.
• If you're struggling with mental health like depression, even anti-depressants may help but only superficially, NOT until you could redirect your attention on something like getting engaged with a new hobby, skill or playing your favorite.  Otherwise, find out the relevant podcast you could get glued
• Remember unprecedented situations need unprecedented efforts from your end

Our takeaway:  Life is NEVER all rainbows and melodies.  Truth is, WHEN you're in that MUD IN LIFE, there is little time left for you to be wired on the internet or binged something on Netflix.  That recent Covid-19 pandemic is the most recent MUD IN LIFE where we all found ourselves all in the same boat.  Sadly, the weaker ones fell off by the wayside.  Bottomline here is that once we're IN THE MUD IN LIFE, your end-result is no less than to eke out yourself OUT OF THE MUD.  No mean feat BUT as they say, WHEN WE END UP IN A MUD-FEST, LET'S ROCK!!!
