I'd like to give you a few scriptures from the Bible, and I'd like to elaborate on them. I understand that you may not be a christian, but I feel that these may help you a bit. 1 Peter 4:12-13: "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." ~Even though you're going through trials and hard times, stay focused on God. Remember what He showed you in the light (bible and visions) - you must hold onto this in the night (trials and hard times). Proverbs 29:18: "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." ~Avoid placing blame on others for the adverse circumstances you are facing. Be humble and open to God's correction in your own life. (Know that your trouble isn't coming from Him, the real enemy is the devil and we have been given victory over him.) James 4:8-10: "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." ~Cry out to the Lord, stay close to Him. Humble yourself before Him, and he will help you through your trial. 1 Samuel 30:6: "And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." ~Discern and resist Satan's lies that are designed to demoralize and destroy you, especially through fear. Remember that it is the devil who will flee, not us, if we stand in faith.

Life really is as difficult as one makes it. If they think hard on not being able to achieve anything, chances are they won't; but if they see a glimpse of hope in a very clouded-over horizon, they can still attempt to walk toward the light. Existence is definitely a challenge but you knew this when you ventured into the contract of being someones daughter or son at the moment of conception when it was just you and the higher power you would give allegiance to the rest of your life, your way. You became the gender girl or boy and decided to take on the responsibility of that role as it was defined centuries before you were even a thought . . . It is thoughts that guide us through our existence, choices in whether we should or should not do or say a certain way; therefore to optimize your living experience, harness as many of the good thoughts and rid yourself of as many of the bad ones. It is not easy but life was never meant to be easy for anyone who joined the 'human race experiment' when it was just in the written stages . . . sharing the light, Erica, the Enlightenment Advisor, M.A. Transpersonal Psych http://www.enlightenment-psych.net

life is hard because, its life! if life's always happy and sweet the world cannot exist. ur hardship is asset for ur fellow-being and he's enjoying it. in the same way, ur enjoying the difficulty of another being without ur knowledge. so, for harmony in universe we have to face hardships throughout our lives and keep fighting to win as many times as possible. if we don't fight and leave our lives to god, there is no use of living.....

If life always would be as easy as pie it would get very boring this heaven on earth. Life is hard so we grow mentally and emotionally. It is ment that way so we get mature. And when we master these hard times we even can be a little bit proud that we did manage.
