Life Complexties: Handling Life's Issues.

Have you ever thought about the assertion, Life isn't a bed of roses on a grander style? Have you ever imagined how unpleasant life's journey can be? Wait, stop imagining, there's an higher possibility that you have been there and you have at a time experienced the complexities and toxicity of life. Isn't that right? 

Today you are on top of your game, tomorrow it seems you don't even have a game playing. You enjoy life's beauty today and poof, it all seems as though everything is a fragment of your imaginations tomorrow. Of course, that's the programming of life and you need to find ways to keep your heads up irrespective of what life has brought to you.

For a truth, most times when we experience the complexities of life, it is always for the good of it as we tend to strengthen our tenacity to overcome the struggles of life. Most people however, give up on themselves and in fact, give up on life just because they thought, nothing works for them. 

If there is anything I have learnt in this life, it is that so far we still have breathe in our lungs, there is still hope for us to accomplish greatness irrespective of what negative things life has brought in our ways.

Dear Readers, to handle life's complexities, I believe these will help...

1. Do not dwell on the negativities of the past.

I engaged a dear friend in a conversation a while ago and he told me how he feels so bad for his erroneous past. The past for him has so much affected the ability to progress on the sphere he made a mistake on. 

The thing is this, the past is gone and on no account should it dictate your future and if it is, it should be used as a fuel to make the future count for you.

When we dwell so much on the past, it kills the vibe and strength to move on with life and I am sure you don't want that to happen. You need to meuveeeee on!

2. Imbibe The Staying Power Culture.

Friends, the tenacity to stay firm, gidigba and kampe is important in life. A person who cannot imbibe the staying power is most likely to give up easily. 

When you possess the staying power, it helps you to be firm whilst you're hopeful that things will work out so right.

Having the staying power is essential to overcoming the complexities of life.

3. Do not die, I repeat, Do not die. 

You are allowed to be sad about what you're going through and everything but please, do not die!

A statistics by WHO, shared by Interntional centre for Investigative Reporting claims that...

about 800,000 people die every year by the act.

For Nigeria, WHO said 17,710 cases of suicide were recorded in 2016 at all ages.

Of these number of cases, 8,410 were females while 9,300 were males. The percentage ratio of men to women was 53:47.

The figure puts Nigeria as the leading country in the African region. It was followed by Ethiopia and South Africa with 7,323 and 6,476 cases respectively.

However, there are other countries that reported very high cases of suicide.

In the world, the top five countries were being led by India with more 215,000 cases in 2016, followed by China that had a total of 136,267 cases.

Dear Reader, no matter what life might be bringing against you, never think of dying as it is most certain that you have breathe in your nostrils, you are still en-route a brighter future. 

Truth is, Suicide is made on past actions as victims believe that their past is nothing to write about hence, nothing worth living for and that is not true. If only you can see what the future holds before you kill yourself! 

Please, do not die!

4. Have Support System.

Support system doesn't mean the complexities of life will evaporate all at once but, it will help you get encouraged enough to keep moving on with life. 

In a most sports, the fans serve as a support system to most players and with their hails, shouts and cheers, they grow in strength to keep fighting on.

Support System here are worthy friends who will keep ministering to you in your down times. They will encourage you to be better and some times, God can place them in your life to help you out of the mess you are in.

However, not everyone can be a support system to you and that's why you need to be mindful of those you flock with.

5. Take it to God in Prayer.

Why should we exclude God out of our situations? He created us and he is the master planner for the whole universe. So, when we experience life's complexities, it is best to ask God for a way out. 

It doesn't matter whether you have never prayed to him before in your life or whether you are not just serious with Him. When he hears you groaning for help, He offers a hand to you to be one of His beloved and sincerely, He is eager to help you out of the issues you are in. 

So, talk to God and you will be fine!
