hello mylotter's another new topic about life.
I love to start new topic about life coz we usually experienced and most/all of us has a different side stories but it depends on how we cope. Either self-worth that should prevail, meditation, friends,peers,love ones or draw strength from GOD.
Everyday billions of people around the world feel something inside of them and we even don't know until such time those feeling get burst and we cannot say a thing, we just seat down, listen and be there when they needed the most. Sometimes they make wrong decision along its way on how to solve those unexplainable feeling. There are some events in our life that we feel emptiness.Times that feeling lonely, spending entire days without talking anyone sometimes. Suffering from work and make less money and so many others
There are times that i want to give up on life for many reasons but i can't give up coz life is worth living and this is my only chance to make it better. I couldn't take it for granted. I have only one life there are still a lot of challenges everyday that i must endure so that i could feel how to be Human and how to be strong.
If its true that life is cruel, that you get more of what you already have, its also true that it's up to you to attract what you want into your life. It is in those moments when you feel most vulnerable that opening up and facing your fears and insecurities will break
the spell that was upon you.
We need to do is to embrace who we are, what we feel and where we go. Coz if it weren't you. We wouldn't have creative energy, your smile,beauty manifested and especially the world wouldn't be the same without you.

I had that experience about 15 minutes ago actually. It wasn't depression or totally wanting to give up but I've been looking for work for 7 months now and I had an interview last week. I just got an email saying I was unsuccessful. It's deflating because I was 100% qualified and there were 4 positions so I should have had a good chance I thought with my previous 5 years of experience. I just either keep not getting interviews or keep getting rejected. I feel like a failure, these days no one wants to give you the chance and you have to go through so much BS in order to get a job 
But his post was nice to read so thank you

hi BabyCheetah!.
Thank you so much for sharing your little moments when you encountered this situation. Now a days, we find first our necessities and that is to haunt for a job. I've been through all of that until it given me hopeless thoughts.
Every rejection we felt low esteem.And we can't do anything to make a move from it because it struck us deeply. But Human has a lot of positive energy, we can stand up immediately or through the help of our spiritual aspect. Please don't give up!

Goodness who hasn't felt dispair? A very few lucky people, I'm sure, but I don't know any! Every point you made on what should prevail are true. Personally, I find a combination of all your suggestions/points are what pull me throught tough times. Writing in my journal helps me sometimes. Looking outside and watching my dogs rolling around in the grass, grunting and totally enjoying themselves, brings me such a joy! I thank God every day, even on the bad days, that I am alive, here to learn and grow and become the soul He wants me to be before He calls me Home. Oh sure, there are days I have a true "pity party" of one, and wallow in self pity before I pull myself out of bed and get on with the business of living. I exercise, clean a room, play with the dogs, and begin to see the beauty and wonder of life. I count my blessings, and start to realize that yes, I am a valuable human being, a decent sort, and no one can make me happy but me. Yes, I am happy to be me! With God's grace, He's given me the opportunity to learn from my bad days and become stronger. Life's a you-know-what sometimes, but that's ok. So am I sometimes!

Yes, many times. Especially when it comes to health. A feeling of no one understands me and feel what i do feel. I get irritated when they say " I understand how you feel" well in fact they really don't know what I'm going through. It took me months to accept the changes and fully understand the situation. Friends, partner, my family contributed so much in my recovery and God who helped me all the way.

I've experienced phase where I just wanted to give up but it's been a while since I felt that way.
I agree that, if a person believes that life is cruel, they will attract negativity to confirm their belief.
That's why I prefer to creative positive affirmations and focus on all the things I'm grateful for.
I am truly blessed and I honestly love my life, now.
Thanks for a very inspiring discussion.

I do. Several times already. I'm not an expressive person so it was a little harder for me to carry things on. But what I did was, I just talked to God everything about what I felt inside and after shedding so many tears I felt kind of relieved. I felt light and from that moment on I started to feel the courage inside me to carry on, move on, and think of the brighter side of the world. So every time I felt the need to cry because I felt really down and heavy inside, I did cry. It helped me a lot.

hi so521.
Crying is one of the easiest way when you cannot hold on to life or everything is miserable. I usually do that, i cried in times of sadness,sorrows and also happiness coz i experienced those emotional feeling of being a Human Being. When there are several time when life is not on my side i just think GOD.
I think his miracles,words of wisdom and his kingdom. I seek, ask and knock GOD coz he knows us very well. The fact that everything we experienced here is just too small than his. That's good to hear,I gained insights

Hello! Good Day. Like you said their are times we feel empty and we couldn't just know how to react at that moment. I feel you. It's like you froze in time not knowing what happened, maybe it is just a feeling we all encountered in one moment in our lives. But what makes it more interesting is that we humans have a way to cope up those feelings. May it be the people we love, may it be spiritual and also we could include the life itself. Have a great day ahead.

There are times that I feel hopeless and would just give up on life, but not to the point of taking my own life to escape it all, no. Just get tired of the crap that gets thrown my way. Times like these, I just take a short break to have some me time and seek counsel with God. I did some little soul searching on my own so I cna find some reasons why, despite my crappy circumstance, I am still lucky. I do allow myself to be depressed and to pity myself but just for a while. After that I get up and try harder again.
Life is never easy. It's never fair either. But that doesn't mean we cannot face it and win it. It takes time, hard work and unwavering faith.
