Struggling is a Part of Life

Everyone struggles in life. It’s a fact of life. But how we deal with those struggles can make all the difference.

Some people choose to give up when they struggle. They feel like it’s too hard and they’ll never be able to overcome it. But others choose to keep fighting. They know that struggling is a part of life, but they also know that they can overcome anything they set their minds to.

If you’re struggling right now, don’t give up. Keep fighting. Remember that you are not alone. Everyone struggles in life. But the ones who keep fighting are the ones who eventually succeed.

Here are some tips for dealing with struggles:

  1. Talk to someone you trust. Talking to someone about your struggles can help you feel better and get some perspective.
  2. Take care of yourself. Make sure you’re eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. These things will help you feel better physically and emotionally.
  3. Set realistic goals. Don’t try to do too much too soon. Set small, achievable goals and gradually work your way up to bigger ones.
  4. Be patient with yourself. It takes time to overcome struggles. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results right away. Just keep working hard and eventually you will reach your goals.

Remember, you are not alone. Everyone struggles in life. But the ones who keep fighting are the ones who eventually succeed.

Rocky Ridge/Breeden Ridge Trail

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography Today I met my buddy Mark at O’ Bannon Woods State Park for a hike.  In this Coronavirus terrifying world, I needed to get out. My week had not been going so well.  I got some surprises at work that changed how future projects will go for me and I was bombarded by daily messages of doom about the Corona Virus.  I was looking forward to the weekend because I had two hikes planned.  This is the only one that happened. After a two day headache (Friday and Saturday) I was able to get out and hike.  I met Mark at the campground in O’ Bannon Woods and we set off on the Rocky Ridge Trail.  This is the trail we had planned on hiking a few weekends ago but it ended quickly when the forecasted 30% of rain became 100% sleet. The trail this time was still muddy but as I could tell by the campground area we would be alone.  As my boots slushed through the mud I watched from behind as Mark often caught a tree root or rock with the toe of his boot, sending...

True Friends - Part 2

My luck might be turning for the better.  At least in the short term. Out of the blue Wednesday, I got a text from a dear friend asking if we could have lunch Thursday.  As I had to work, I had to decline but he followed up with “what time you get off?”  So we scheduled an early dinner to meet.  I was excited and a bit nervous, as I was not sure why he wanted to meet. Shawn is a lifelong friend who I wrote about in a previous blog .  We have known each other since we were kids.  He is like a brother to me.  Throughout our lives, we have taken different paths and have gone years without speaking due to kids, wives, and careers, but when we do get together it is like nothing has changed. We met at Cracker Barrel, and as is always the case I arrived early.  I sat down and starting thinking about how we met, the many times we spent together and some of the crazy adventures we had been upon.  Shawn has been in my life for 36 years. Soon he arrived, sat down and we began talking. ...

Nova Scotia - Day 7

Photo by: Tim Bindner October 1 & 2, 2022–Day 6 & 7 Not too many sites were seen on our last two days in Nova Scotia. Reality was setting in. We would be back home soon. On Saturday we woke up, had breakfast, said goodbye to Kermit (6-week-old golden retriever), loaded up the car, turned in the keys and began the drive east on Highway 1. Our destination was The Fourth Lock . This was a small bed-and-breakfast with a restaurant attached. Our drive took us through small towns like Bear River, Annapolis Royal, and Bridgetown. We then merged onto Highway 101, heading toward Fall River. Our B&B was not opened when we arrived, but the restaurant staff called the owner, then got us the code to get in and he showed us our room. Small room with a bed only 12 inches off the floor, no a/c, small refrigerator with glass bottles of water inside, and a very nice washroom and shower. We waited around until 4pm, then headed downstairs for dinner. After eating, we walked back up to the room...
