You can also be one of those few workers of yesteryear who don’t know how to get there, because even if the body hurts and the scars weigh, does the mind never take anything for granted?our dreams because, although this resignation is simply a theatrical act, it will take us away from them.
We are certainly talking about perseverance, the opposite of the laziness of the soul, the opposite of that defeatism that society itself sometimes suggests to us with its walls and fences, and Kierkegaard, for his part, has also made it very clear. in his texts: when the environment in which we find ourselves sinks into despair, there is only one antidote, hope, one hope through which the engine of perseverance can work.
- Today.
- And due to the complex economic and social environment in which we live.
- It is common to let yourself be carried away by defeatism.
- Losing a job.
- Failing a project or leaving behind a horizon of expectations with a stable partner and a Life Project means.
- In many cases.
- Living a total and absolute breakdown with our foundations.
- Or even with our identity.
This is understandable. However, as they say, if failure has brought us down, we have to rise for our dreams. Far from succumbing to despair, we must adopt a proactive shield attitude to suffering.
So take a deep breath and keep moving forward. Because it’s forbidden to give up.
Poets, in their exceptional art for shaping emotions, defined depression with terms as striking as “the wolf’s mouth,” “bottomless abyss,” “whale belly, or “the dark night of the soul. “These concepts allude to an idea that neuroscience itself has been studying for years: the time factor in the depressive brain.
There’s a slowdown. It is as if life, sound and the very seconds of the clock have stopped, the chemistry of the brain introduces us to that state of perpetual melancholy where nothing advances, we comment on it for a very objective fact: the uncertainty itself about the future. , when we lose a job or when we break up an affective relationship, “get down on our way?in those emotional corners where you end up being prisoners and nothing moves forward.
Everything stops, and that’s when the illusion atrophys when this unwanted guest appears: depression. If that’s how you feel now, remember something: giving up is an option, but moving is a must.
This is exactly what they explain to us in the “Book of Great Decisions”. This interesting manual details up to 50 decision-making models related to these complex personal mazes.
The key to most of these strategies is usually the same. You have to be prepared. But how can we achieve it in the face of so much emotional suffering?One aspect of our mind must be clear from now on: the will is worked, educated and strengthened with attention and effort.
So far we have seen that to face adversity it is necessary to take steps forward, avoid immobility and the brain numb by the lack of illusions, perspective and hope, but there is another detail to be taken into account.
Sometimes abandonment is necessary, especially when a process has come to an end, when we have no choice but to leave out a part of our lives and, again, move on, even restarting the risk of losing what we don’t keep.
Here the difficulty is twofold and even more delicate, a person can fight every day to evolve in his work, to keep the person he loves by his side, however, if there is no love, the battles are useless, if there is no option to progress in the race, there is no point in continuing to dream of the impossible. Taking on is also a brave attitude, and defeating is for the real winners.
There are battles that are simply lost from the beginning. It’s also worth knowing how to see this and reaching the limit where you just have to take a step back. All these struggles offer us a lesson, even those in which we are far from the initial goal.
However, remember: surrendering to a certain situation or person does not make you lose your life, because sometimes a loss is also the conquest of ourselves, and there is nothing nobler or wiser than that.
