When Life Gets Tough

Dear 4B,

How do you survive when life gets tough?

How do you hang on when you are grieving, lonely or broke?

You can only tackle your problems as you would climb a mountain...

If you go rock climbing - you get stuck on a ledge - you suddenly focus on the present moment!

You forget about the future. All your effort goes into your next step. Then your next step. Inch by inch.

Eventually you claw your way out.

The same strategy works for everyday life.

When things seem desperate, you fix your focus on the present moment.

You tackle one problem at a time. You take a step. You get a little confidence... and take another step, and another.

Eventualy you find that the worst is over.

If you were to worry about
a) everything you need to do in the next month, or
b) everything that could go wrong in the next year,
you could go nuts!

But you can handle one day at a time.

And whenever 24 hours is too tough, bite off five minutes at a time.

In a nutshell

All you can do is give your BEST effort until bedtime.
Let tommorow take care of itself.

Warmest regards
Mr Lu
