Dark Times, How To Not Give Up :)

Oh my God, I was always wanted to go there. It's in Tailand I learned today :) So it's going to be in my to-do list now!

Dark times.. every single person have these times.. because of a friend, boyfriend girlfriend, boss, family.. financial, emotional .. especially when we start something new, a feeling poke us: did I do good to do that? A marriage, maybe leaving your corporate job and starting your own business, or leaving a country.. in that dark times, we lose our hope, belief and energy.. and that's the time we realize actually that's all we got. Only with that we can built armys, or save billions of peoples life..

That's why the people who believe their product and promote, the couple who believe their love and eachother, the man who believe pure God are the WINNER! Not the one who works only for money. Steve Jobs, I think he was a great believer! He believed what he was doing from heart, and I'm sure he had a lot of dark times which made him questioning if he was on the right path. And I'm sure he had his own system to get over that feeling to be more successful.

Still the question is here: what are we going to do when our belief shake? What does a ship do when it lost it's way in the ocean? I don't know the answer, but I can brainstorm:

• We need a compass to show us our direction. That could be a well-prepared business plan, or our goals and dreams.
• In The Quran first rule is READ. Well, that's the greatest rule ever: read. But we don't have a lot of time right? So we need to be picky and read something according to achieve our goals. It will help us to keep going in our direction. Or sometimes, to change our direction, too..
• But also, write. You'll surprise a lot when you read what you wrote 1 years ago. And in these dark times, you can go back and read, and remember why you did that.  For example: you divorced from your partner, and you feel weird because you remember the good times.. you think maybe that was a mistake to divorce, and now you're lonely. You don't have friends who support you, etc.. If you had written what happened before, and how you were unhappy, you'd be glad to be divorced.
• Same example: If you write what happens at work, if you're living some bad days with your colleague or boss or partner, two months later when you decide to talk with someone, or quit your job, you'll remember what you had to live. Because we humans FORGET! We forget things. Good or bad. 
• Read.
• Write.
• Maybe you were really wrong, when you read you'll realize how stupid you were :) haha. hope not. But if that happens that's good to realize and change. 
• Look at the moon. Look at the buildings, sea, ocean, sun..Look at the people. They are all living in their life, everyone think they are the only one in the world. Just for few minutes think and feel you're a little tiny part of the big picture, universe. That will give you a power if you have a direction on your life. Otherwise, you'll feel weak.. and desperate..
• Follow your instincts. (I'm not comfortable to say that. Because some instincts are killing, abusing, etc.. I believe everybody have an angel and devil inside themself. We make a decision in our behaviors to choose the good or bad. But please don't insult devil. Or don't praise angels. It's us. We chose to do that. Consciously. So, when I say follow your instincts I mean the good side. What makes you happy, and satisfied, you know better than others. Follow your instincts.)
• Message your old friends, ask how they are and if you can help them with something. Maybe they are in their dark times, that will make their day.
• Don't be tired to meet new people. You never know who they will become in your life. Just look at the opportunities. Listen, and share.

Wish you luck! And don't forget we create our luck. Just look for it! =)
