LIFE CAN ROB YOU OF YOUR REAL SELF & IDENTITY!!!!
The problems, pain and disappointments we face in life can actually rob us of our “real self” or identity, if we are not careful.
When things are going well in our lives, we are happy, confident and fulfilled. However, when the storms come (and they will SURELY come), you may get sad, depressed and if the problems persist, you may even be knocked out!!!! During those times, if you are not careful, you could actually start looking at yourself as a loser!!! You could feel hopeless, helpless and despondent.
The good news is that “M.A.D.” people deal with these types of situations differently. Yes, they may be sad or even depressed but they NEVER give up - NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT LIFE BECOMES!!!!
Here are three things “M.A.D.” people do to maintain their sense of identity while they go through the storms of life:
1. They cultivate a HIGH sense of SELF-AWARENESS. This simply means that they FORCEFULLY remind themselves of who they are in terms of their achievements, successes, strengths and the things that make them unique - after all, prior to the problem, they had done some amazing things in life.
2. They are RESILIENT, BOLD & COURAGEOUS. They look the problem in the face and tell it the go to “hell.” They are so strong because their “WHY” is always bigger than the problem. Their “WHY” has to do with the reason for their existence and those things burning in their bellies that will NEVER make them quit.
3. They relentlessly seek solutions, alternatives or they improvise from “thin air.”
Never let life rob you of your real-self, identity or destiny!!!
M.A.D. means:
M: Motivated Beyond Measure
A: Angry At Mediocrity & Moral Decay
D: Deep Desire To Do Great Things

5yYeah! You are very correct master, I encountered such experience in 2017 but at a time I told myself worrying and thinking over situations does not do me any good but looking at something I can do to get out of the challenges, it was when I removed my mind from those challenges that I get relieved.
