It can be very difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you are going through a rough time, it’s something I know way too well because I have been in that position multiple times but still here I am! In that moment, you feel absolutely defeated and can’t even imagine your future but trust me – you will be able to move forward.
It’s obviously not an easy journey but you will be able to overcome any obstacles that are along the way. Last year, there was a time I pretty much gave up on life. There wasn’t anything left for me and I thought that everything was finished but as you can see I ended up getting out of that situation.
If there is something I’ve learnt from every hardship I’ve faced is the fact there are some things I am extremely grateful for even during those not-so great times. I know everyone’s situation is completely different to one another and you shouldn’t compare your blessings with another person. But I think we all share a number of common things, no matter what situation you are in which is something we should remind ourselves with when going through a difficult time.
Il peut être très difficile de voir la lumière au bout du tunnel lorsque vous traversez une période difficile, c’est quelque chose que je connais trop bien parce que j’ai été dans cette position plusieurs fois mais je suis toujours là! À ce moment-là, vous vous sentez absolument vaincu et ne pouvez même pas imaginer votre avenir, mais croyez-moi – vous pourrez avancer.
Ce n’est évidemment pas un voyage facile, mais vous pourrez surmonter tous les obstacles qui se trouvent en cours de route. L’année dernière, il y a eu un moment où j’ai pratiquement abandonné la vie. Il ne me restait plus rien et je pensais que tout était fini mais comme vous pouvez le voir j’ai fini par sortir de cette situation.
S’il y a quelque chose que j’ai appris de chaque épreuve que j’ai rencontrée, c’est le fait qu’il y a des choses pour lesquelles je suis extrêmement reconnaissante, même en ces temps pas si géniaux. Je sais que la situation de chacun est complètement différente les unes des autres et vous ne devriez pas comparer vos bénédictions avec une autre personne. Mais je pense que nous partageons tous un certain nombre de choses communes, quelle que soit la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons, c’est quelque chose que nous devons nous rappeler lorsque nous traversons une période difficile.

YOUR HOME
Whether you are staying in a friend, relative or even an acquaintance’s house, you have a roof over your head which is something you should be grateful for. If you have your own place, you should be even more grateful.
You have your own privacy and you can do everything and anything you want! I hate comparisons but there are so many people who don’t even have a proper place to stay which breaks my heart especially during this terrible situation so I’m extremely thankful for my home.
Que vous restiez chez un ami, un parent ou même chez une connaissance, vous avez un toit au-dessus de votre tête, ce dont vous devriez être reconnaissant. Si vous avez votre propre place, vous devriez être encore plus reconnaissant.
Vous avez votre propre intimité et vous pouvez faire tout ce que vous voulez! Je déteste les comparaisons, mais il y a tellement de gens qui n’ont même pas de lieu de séjour approprié, ce qui me brise le cœur surtout pendant cette terrible situation, donc je suis extrêmement reconnaissante pour ma maison.

YOUR FOOD
If you can provide for your family or have food on the table, you are doing very well. Once again, I hate comparing another person’s circumstance with another because I think it’s not fair but can you imagine going to bed hungry or not having anything to eat. I think that’s one of the most saddest situation any human beings can ever go through.
I’m a picky eater and I don’t really have a big appetite so in the past, I would throw away food I couldn’t finish or didn’t like which is probably one of the biggest regrets I have, because I realise how fortunate I am to be in a position where I can bin food that I don’t like. Now I’m so careful with my food.
Si vous pouvez subvenir aux besoins de votre famille ou avoir de la nourriture sur la table, vous vous en sortez très bien. Encore une fois, je déteste comparer les circonstances d’une autre personne avec une autre parce que je pense que ce n’est pas juste, mais pouvez-vous imaginer aller au lit affamé ou n’avoir rien à manger. Je pense que c’est l’une des situations les plus tristes qu’un être humain puisse traverser.
Je suis un mangeur difficile et je n’ai pas vraiment un gros appétit donc dans le passé, je jetais de la nourriture que je ne pouvais pas finir ou n’aimais pas, ce qui est probablement l’un des plus grands regrets que j’ai, car je me rends compte quelle chance j’ai d’être dans une position où je peux jeter de la nourriture que je n’aime pas. Maintenant je fais tellement attention à ma nourriture !

YOUR LOVED ONES
Whether it’s one person or ten people, whether they are blood related or not, if you have people in your life that truly loves you unconditionally – you are the most luckiest person in the entire world. Not everyone is lucky enough to have people who love and care for them and I think it’s extremely hard to come across those types of people anymore so be grateful for them. With them by your side, you can overcome anything that life throws at you.
Que ce soit une personne ou dix personnes, qu’elles soient liées au sang ou non, si vous avez des personnes dans votre vie qui vous aiment vraiment sans condition – vous êtes la personne la plus chanceuse du monde entier. Tout le monde n’a pas la chance d’avoir des gens qui les aiment et qui s’en occupent et je pense qu’il est extrêmement difficile de rencontrer ces typse de personnes, alors soyez reconnaissant pour eux. Avec eux à vos côtés, vous pouvez surmonter tout ce que la vie vous lance.

YOUR HEALTH
Your wealth is not the designer pieces you own nor the materialistic items you have but your health. With good health comes time in the sense you have so much time in your hands to find a solution to your problem or to overcome any hardships. Don’t take your health for granted.
Votre richesse n’est pas les pièces de luxe que vous possédez ni les articles matérialistes que vous avez mais votre santé. Avec une bonne santé vient le temps dans le sens où vous avez tellement de temps entre vos mains pour trouver une solution à votre problème ou pour surmonter les difficultés. Ne prenez pas votre santé pour acquis.

YOUR HOPE
If even during your toughest time, you are still being optimistic and have hope & faith in you – it’s something you should be very proud about. Even when everything around you is a complete mess and you still go on with your day-to-day life, it’s the hope you have that everything will be okay that keeps you going and it’s something I admire a lot.
It’s not something that everyone possess. So many people give up during a rough time which is definitely not something bad or something to feel embarrassed about. Every individual has a different coping mechanism, some people dwell on it whilst others keep pushing forward – one isn’t better than the other.
Si même pendant votre période la plus difficile, vous êtes toujours optimiste et avez espoir et foi en vous – c’est quelque chose dont vous devriez être très fier. Même lorsque tout autour de vous est un gâchis complet et que vous continuez à vivre votre vie de tous les jours, c’est l’espoir que tout ira bien qui vous fait avancer et c’est quelque chose que j’admire beaucoup.
Ce n’est pas quelque chose que tout le monde possède. Tant de gens abandonnent pendant une période difficile, ce qui n’est certainement pas quelque chose de mauvais ou quelque chose de gênant. Chaque individu a un mécanisme d’adaptation différent, certaines personnes s’y attardent tandis que d’autres continuent d’avancer – l’une n’est pas meilleure que l’autre.

Great Post New Lune!
I’d been thinking along those same lines this week. In my mind’s eye with these quarantines there are so many opportunities to reflect, renew marriages and relationships with children and all the aforementioned things you posted about being thankful. You really honed in on this one. Blessings and peace.
Thank you my love! ❤️

This article is helpful very much for alleviating my burdens during the tough period. I usually study, read books, and remember new English words using the opportunity at home.
Thanks for your ideas! I hope everyone can reduce their stress and be sturdy while studying/working!
Thank you so much! So glad it was helpful ☺️
You are welcome!
These are such important reminders and things we can definitely take for granted hugely! I really hope coming away from this situation we’re all in that we can be more grateful and appreciative for the things in life we would have taken for granted before xx

Thank you beautiful! My pleasure 💗
I have food and I have a roof over my head (and a small garden), so yes I am very very lucky man………………. it’s the absence of ‘hope’ I’m having problems with!
It’s definitely something everyone struggles with!
Fruitful days ahead
It is absolutely right that we can take these times for granted and we shall not allow that!
Thank you!
