As a quote goes,life is not easy for all of us.It is full of ups and downs.But we grow up in these setbacks and failures and become more tougher afterwards.It is our attitude towards life that determines how life reacts to us.Would you like to share the hardest thing that you've had to do before and how did you overcome it?
Wish joy and health with all of you always.Happy new year.

I always think that talking is a good thing because in talking you discover that many people have had problems and come through them stronger and more determined to make a happy life.Listening to other people has been a great comfort to me during my life.It has helped me deal with things that at the time seem unsomountable.At the moment we have a mother in law who is 91 who refuses any help from social services care assistants ,she won't let them wash her toilet her.She does live in a mess and not many of us can stand the smell anymore.My Dad since my Mum has passed away is a real nightmare,angry he manages to ruin every family event with his bad temper and strong views on everything from how you live your life to the state of the world.It has been five years and he is really testing the patience of the strongest.Do we walk away or do we stick it out.We would really love to have a christmas ,birthday ect without feeling the need to run home pack our bags and clear off.Love is turning into can we do this without him around.Lets just leave him out so he can come to his senses,the trouble is it has gone to far with some of the younger members of the family.Also I must admit to having enough of him ruining our lives.I am like most people have had setbacks ,upsetting discissions ,so I save my marrage but lose this pain in the neck.My sister ended her relationship because of Dad and his needs.Any suggestions ,Happy New Year.

The hardest thing I had to do in my life.. was make the choice to send my son to the usa to live with his dad. I made the choice because the schools here in mexico are bad. I want my son to have a great education.problem is it meant I had to send him 3600 miles away from me. But I know I made the right choice. Happy new years there..

Oh. There had been so many setbacks in my life but I remember one many years ago when we moved to a house that did not allow dogs. The thought of it pains me until and I promised to myself it is not going to happen again. We had to leave our two dogs in the old house because of that rule. At first, I traveled back there to give them food but later on it became impossible for me to do so because of the distance. One day I went back to bring them food and I could no longer find them there. I hate to think of what happened to them. It's so painful to think of it now.

I have had many hard things that I have been through. One was going through 2 miscarriages, being homeless for months, moving at least 12 times since I have been married, living with other members of the family, etc...A lot of hard things.
I got through all of it by faith and prayer. My husband also was my rock through most of what I have been through. He has this uplifting spirit about him that makes you feel less worried when he is by your side.

My life was full of hard things I had to do, hard decisions I had to make. For example leaving my whole family and stuff behind. I started about 14 times all over again. Still.. now you ask I am not sure this was the hardest thing I had to do. Perhaps it was the fight to be me (which ment many people incl. family abandoned me). But it was worth it like all the (hard) choices I had to make to safe me and my children.

The year 2009 was a really hard year for me.This was the first year I work as a teacher.My section chief asked me to teach the subject which called "metal materials and heat treatment".I've never heard of this before,but I could not refuse.I was really confused at that time,I read the book everyday so carefully,and asked the professional teachers,I even went into classes to have the lesson with the students.I really tried my hardest for fear that I failed in teaching this lesson,I should be responsible for the students.

The hardest thing I had to do was to 'escape' my abusive ex, they were controlling, abusive and life with them became unbearable, I knew full well that they wouldn't let me go and would hound me, so I had to concoct a plan to 'disappear' it took weeks of planning and lying, something that I don't like doing, but I had no choice, it was hard having to keep the pretence, but I managed it, and I got away from my ex and they never knew where I went, that was five years ago now, I don't regret it, I am proud of myself for having the courage to do it, but I wouldn't want to go through that again. That is why I stay single.

Hi!! the hardest thing I have had to do before is following my diet and avoiding junk food.I used have a lot of junk stuffs and never followed it and one day I when I released that its because of these food that I have actually avoided eating the healthy ones.Form that day onwards I have planned not to have much of junk stuffs, in my country pizza,burgers,fries etc are also considered as not too healthy and I have not completely avoided it but have reduced it a lot.

Hardest thing i had to do before in 2012, dispelling fears of apocalypse in my family. My family was crazy about the mayan thing, they totally believe that the planet x or some gigantic solar storm will hit Earth and poof humans die. It is one of the hardest things i had to deal with. I personally do not believe that the world will end and well it did not obviously. When 22nd came, my whole family was so relieve i had no idea what to do with them. THey even threw a party to celebrate it. Till now, i do not think i can overcome rumors of apocalypse. Lets hope there aren't anymore prophecies

It is true that life is full of ups and downs. Further the hardest part of life is dealing with people efficiently. There are times when some people are not happy with what you do or say. I think there should be some way to manage our dealings in the best possible way. If you can get along other people well then life seems much easier.
