There are days I wake in so much pain that I want to just lay there. Laying in bed does not get anything done! I use crutches to get around. I make money severeal ways. Everything everyone goes thru happens for a reason. I believe in god. I go to church when I can. I work online everyday. I was homeless because one person could not stand the fact that I stood up for myself and protected my cats from his cruel and violent behavior towards animals! When I got kicked out, this guy kicked my cat and her kittens out as well! You face tough times, what are you going to do? Give up or get back on your feet? For those who are homeless that has a vehicle, use it to make money to help you get back on your feet. For those who have even less and are on the street, do not give up. Life is too precious and short to give up and quit!

One of the most important things in life is to always keep your head up. Don't let yourself be pushed aside by others and always be positive that everything will be alright no matter how bad things may seem.

It's hard to be positive during tough times. But every time I look around me, there are people who are more unfortunate than me so this makes me think positive again and tells me that I should not give up.

i have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and so i know about pain and being tired! a positive attitude is always a good thing to have. i am blessed that i have my faith to keep me going. His grace is sufficient for me. If i didn't have God on my side, i am not sure what i would do!

Yes it's hard, I know it! However, I know I need to don't give in. Take care of my body and soul. Throw myself into a hobby I enjoy like arts. When you think positively, you begin to view the world around a little more gently; you tend to look on the better, clearer side. Being resentful will render positive thinking useless. Thinking positively means hanging on to hope and looking for new possibilities at the time when life's gotten too hard. It means striving against its challenges, however extreme. It means hanging on to what is good in yourself if everything else gets swept away and valuing your compassion, your warmth, your capacity to find beauty.

When times are rough for me I do try to stay positive.. There are some times that I do get knocked down by life.. Like the song by Rascal Flatts..Stand.. I get mad just and then I just stand.. I will not allow life to get me down.. That is not life...

It is hard to please every one. And it is hard to have nothing on your own. It is also hard to start a life without direction. Know your purpose and put no definition of give up, hard times or tough times in your vocabulary. Tough times can be tougher if you think hopeless. If you want to prove something don't just be contented. Good is not good enough when better can be expected. Better can't be good either if you can do best. Be a fighter. But be sure to be a wise fighter. Know your enemy and know the weapon against it. Sometimes we need to be heartless to fit in. Life is a joke. So learn how to play the game.
