pushed by life

All this week.... Maybe I'll be realizing that it was a good thing next week some time! :D

If I was to lose everything that I have in my life, I think that it would be very difficult for me to move on. The reason that I say that is because my history is important to me and if I was to lose all of the pictures that I have and that kind of stuff, I don't think I would be able to effectively function. However, if I was able to keep my pictures, I think that it would be something that I would be able to overcome so that I could move on.

i can say that i am quite a fortunate person because i haven't been pushed by life that much in my whole life... i didn't say that i have a luxurious and comfortable life... my life is hard and full of struggles as well... but at least i can see that i am still in a much more better conditions than many other people surrounding me... and i can still feel God's abundant blessings every single second in my life until today... take care and have a nice day...

I have had some really terrible situations...none like you have mentioned though...that I have looked back on and said...ahhhah..maybe everything does have a reason. I think that our experiences makes us who we are and sometimes it is the really bad ones that define us. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to be the victem of such natural disasters but there is really no choice but to pick up and go on.

It is better to move on and face life no matter how hard it is. It will be useless to go back and felt pity or blame yourself for a wrong decision. What is important is now. Face what is reality, think of an immediate solution to the problem and act according to what you plan. Sometimes what stops people from stepping forward is doubt and not believing in one self. Don't act to what other people say to you. Don't even bother how people live their lives now. Do what you want to do in life no matter what it takes. This will make you happy. This is what I can also do for myself and I will stick to it.

You live because everything is fleeting, even life. There are people who suffer from incurable diseases but fight to live.You should never feel sorry for you lost but you can not do. After each beating man becomes stronger. You can get up when all seems lost? As long as we live it is my opinion that nothing is completely lost. The importance of a will. "La vie en rose" exists only in childhood ... after is much more nuanced ...All the best!

Generally, Pat, I am the type to look back and see where evil has turned to good, but I know that not everyone is. I would be surprised if 20% of the people hit by adversity these days would use it as an opportunity. I think it was different in the times when we were a pioneering nation.

Hi savypat, It has happened to me, but I'm sure not to the extent that it is happening to the victims of the floods in Australia,or to the people of Brazil today. For myself I still continue to believe that all things happens for the best, we just don't see the big picture. Would I be able to think that way today, if, like some of these people, I'd lost everything, even family? I doubt if I would be thinking that way at the moment, but later I probable would accept it. There is a reason for all of this, we just don't know what it is yet. Blessings.

I do not know for sure, if I can rise from the fall of my life. So far, I have never experienced difficulties. Because of this, maybe I was not mentally strong, to survive. I just hope, I will never experience setbacks.

I only feel pushed around by life when things are not going my way. getting pushed or shoved by life just comes with the territory.

People are in nature a fighter. They would be able to rise up again after falling, no matter how. Some would rise to a level above their previous ones, some are content to rise just to their previous level. And of course there are some who blamed life and it's unfairness and do not rise at all despite of the help and support from others. What they need are just great friends to motivate them.

Hello Savypat, good and hard question. With some people one disaster can do what they never did with their life - never decided to move on, never decided to look for better work, never appreciated their family and relatives, friends, never appreciated their own life. For that kind of people something big has to happen, something which doesn't depend on them, because if it does, it will never happen. They will always choose to stay where they feel comfortable without making decisions, without moving even a step ahead, just because they like it as it is. For other it's really hard time. Specially if that people worked hard for what they have. Same kind of people would know the price of everything and would appreciate every kind of help, every penny, every move ahead because they will know that reaching their goal, they and their family will live better. For that kind of people i think that destroying their past is something really dangerous. I'm sure, totally sure that those who has worked hard to reach their level before the disaster must be strong people, who will survive for sure, but why they had to loose their past, memories, even the little they had for so absurd reasons. Would i be able to stand up and to move on if something like that happens to me and my loved ones? I don't know, may be i'll try. Life, where i am and i lived in whole my life is just one surviving, nothing more, so i don't believe it can become worst than it is now.

It's hard to say when the situations are caused by natural disasters if I would be able to do that or not as they are on a much grander scale. However, I do know that what you're saying is true in regards to my everyday life. My Mother always told me that whatever happens, happens for a reason. I found that hard to believe as a child, but in the last few years of my life I've found reason to believe this. I'm in a far better place now then I would have been if some of the 'disasters' in my life hadn't happened, shoving me in the direction I went.
