When Things Get BAD

When Things Get BAD

No sirrrrs, we're not manifesting paranoia here but this is just to accept the harsh realities of life wherein sometimes When Things Get BAD, things can get really very UGLY.  Of course, there are outliers wherein a BAD situation sometimes does a turnaround for the better but by and large, many BAD situations really get us buried deep in the mud.  And what's the confirmed recovery rate when things turn BAD?  Oh, studies confirm it's really BAD.

If you ask me to look back those years when my situation was that BAD, I have to [sadly] admit that many things i remained stuck in the mud for quite sometime. And my woes didn't end there.  Why?  Because, things turned from BAD to WORSE [and sometimes to WORST] before I was able to extricate myself out from that treacherous mud.

Not to scare, this poster is NOT meant to scare but this is the harsh reality.  Everything really that is BAD is in effect the WORST problem.  But if it does not look WORST, it's because things have yet to turn from BAD to WORST. What's our most common mistake?  It is when we are just shrugging our shoulders when confronted with a problem.  Why?  Because many of us [wrongly] look at BAD situations as NOT THAT BAD and while positive attitudes like that are laudable, please DON'T fool yourself by just looking at the side of things when you get hit.

Think of the chameleon.  They can surface in different colors.  That's how problems can be like chameleons. Many times our problems DO NOT surface like a problem.  In fact, sometimes, problems will surface as good tidings, as good news when in fact there's nothing GOOD in it except that it appears like a chameleon.  So, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

So, what are our lifehacks for today's piece?  DON'T ignore problems.  DON'T underestimate challenges.  DON'T belittle the bumps and humps.  DON'T hope things will turn from BAD to GOOD without lifting your fingers, no sirrrrs.  DON'T be that positive to expect that BAD situations will maintain it's status quo because problems never go on a standstill.  Either things will go NORTH or SOUTH, never remain levelled.  Not wishful thinking but we hope that everyone of us will be on their toes and even 'nip in the bud' at the slightest hint that things are BAD because we DON'T want things to turn UGLY✅✅✅
