Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 89: Life Goes On.

Hello friends, trust you all are great. What a beautiful day! Every day, we face or encounter several challenges in life but we push it aside most at times with the statement life goes on.

This seemingly little statement carries a lot of weight as our next actions are mostly determined by it.

So what does that sentence means to you? This will be the subject i will be examining in my post today.

When people say "Life goes on", what does that mean to you?

This phrase can be used in various contexts but all pointing to almost the same meaning. It carries the idea of resilience and hope.

This is especially true when someone is passing through difficult times, however he needs to know that such tough times will not last forever. That there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

It also embodies the characteristics of being adaptable. The need to embrace changes in life, looking for possible solutions to problems we face.

It also can mean continuing and looking forward in the things we do. Being focused at tasks that we engage in.

So these are the several explanations or understanding that can be given to this phrase.

Does "Life goes on" make you feel better when something bad happens, or does it not help? Why?

Well does it make me feel better? Not absolutely. Why do I say so? Saying or hearing that does not solve that particular problem since there is nothing you can do about the situation. Rather, it is just an encouragement to move on with your life and seek for other opportunities.

So a kind of relief comes with hearing that phrase when something bad happens. Helping you to let go.

Knowing that we only have a certain amount of time, how does that change how you live?

Each day is a 24 hour day. That has been the case ever since the earth was created. I have known that for a long time now. Every second gone cannot be replaced.

Having that in mind, there is need for me to utilize every second that passes by, making it count.

I try to make wise use of my time and try to accomplish something. Whenever, I decide to embark on any project, I ensure that I allocate time to it and complete within the allotted time.

It has been part of me for quite a long time now.

What does it mean to be strong and bounce back from tough times? How do you do that?

Being strong implies being resilient, having this I never quit mentality. Being able to wade through the waters of turbulence while remaining strong. It is said that when when the going gets tough, the tough gets tougher. A strong person does not ahy away from responsibility. He is able to discern when there is a need for adjustment and is ready to do so. We can say that the person is mentally strong to manage situations.

Bouncing back from tough situations can come in various ways. One way is by leaving the disappointment behind and moving forward. Another way could be by changing an approach to a situation, making adjustment and using a different method to handle the situation.

So I try to remember past tough situations and how I was able to deal with it. This gives me the needed strength to move on, knowing that it is only death that cannot be overcome right now.

Everyone needs to understand that there are times when your best efforts cannot redeem a situation. At that point, take a pause, reflect on it and move on with your life.
