Hopelessness

John B. Marine | January 20, 2018 | | | Be the first to comment!
Hopelessness is as exactly as it sounds. You just have very little reason to believe in anything anymore because you lack hope and encouragement. Hopelessness can lead to low self-esteem and depression. A lack of hope means you are unable to do anything with confidence in achieving a positive outcome. It is tough to do anything or think in any manner because the inevitable happens (at least, what you consider inevitable)- impending failure and disappointment.

When you are hopeless, there is almost no point in trying something because you are bound to fail. This is the kind of feeling that dooms most individuals even before would-be failure happens. You learn to give yourself hope in anything and everything you do. When you do not have this hope, all you are doing is wasting your time and energy trying to make the impossible possible. Hopelessness is wanting a plant to become a huge tree, but unable to because one doesn't think it will ever be at its best. Hopelessness is teaching your child how to be a better person and learn concepts in school, but unable to because you feel that child will bring home bad grades or get into trouble. Being hopeless is basically reverse encouragement. Where we try to give hope and endorsement that things will provide a positive outcome, it ultimately leads to a totally lost cause as inevitable failure happens.

Having hopelessness take over your mind is a feeling of self-doubt and weakness. You can't smile or feel happy about anything when you feel nothing ever goes right for you. It is mind-numbing to imagine you can never become the successful individual you know you can be. It is okay not to think you are going to fail. That is natural. However, you try to defy any feelings that you will fail by doing your best to succeed at whatever you think you are going to fail at. Giving yourself hope and believing in hope helps you feel better and become more confident. Certain external factors also contribute to giving yourself hope. Even things outside of your control can be factors in hope.

The feeling of hopelessness can lead to feeling like nothing good ever happens. Most of the time, nothing good ever happens because one doesn't believe anything good can ever happen. You have to believe in yourself and your abilities. You can always teach yourself to do a task better, or gain some support from other people. You may even need other people to help encourage you if you lack hope. The moment you give up trying to work for a positive outcome and a positive future, that is where hopelessness hits you the hardest. Do whatever it takes to try to get yourself motivated and confident. You are not a weak person just because you require assistance from others. I have said this for the longest since first starting "John's Life Space."

If you find yourself lacking hope, learn to become confident and able. Even if you are not overly qualified to accomplish a task, at least give yourself a chance that you CAN pull through in the toughest of times. If you don't give yourself that chance, congratulations- you let failure win.


Bonus Material!

Here is a powerful video I found online if ever you feel down on yourself. I looked this up almost randomly preparing this blog post on hopelessness. Take a look:


^ WHEN YOU ARE HOPELESS - Inspirational Video (very emotional!)


Maybe this will help all of you to become better people and fight off hopelessness.





I often hope I am providing hope for others with my blog posts and my advice. Life is too short to think we all feel as if we are just living to die when we have the chance to live to live. Just remember:

Keep hope alive!

Anniversaries

John B. Marine | January 20, 2018 | | | Be the first to comment!
Anniversaries mark when certain instances happen. There are anniversaries of good moments and bad moments. Anniversaries are special in relationships. Better not forget your lover's anniversary! Anyhow, anniversaries are great to remember because it is special seeing just how far times have changed since such moments occurred.

Do you know what today is?


Tony! Toni! Toné! - Anniversary

:) I had to offer some kind of lighthearted approact to this blog post is. Here is another mood-setter...

Happy Anniversary
^ from: (Pinterest) - Anniversaries can be happy reminders. However, not every anniversary is a good one.

For some individuals, anniversaries can be happy reminders or bad ones.


Happy Anniversaries.

Surely remembering your first date with someone with a total stranger whom you eventually fell in love with and married and have children with is a happy anniversary. Remembering the day you silenced doubters by graduating from High School or college is an anniversary to celebrate. You may even remember the day you bought the house you still live in and enjoy. You could even celebrate years at your current job. These are all examples of happy anniversaries. They give you a chance to look back on moments that bring you joy and smiles.


Not So Happy Anniversaries.

Some anniversaries, however, can be bad ones. Bad meaning anything from certain failures to depressing to somber anniversaries. A bad anniversary may be when you can remember getting into that car crash or when you were suspended from school for fighting. You probably got injured on one certain day. Maybe it was a certain day when someone you loved died or was killed. Or maybe you endured a seriously unhappy (or potentially life-threatening) anniversary- in the event of things like a natural disaster, a horrific accident, or some kind of terrorist attack. These are moments that tug at you and test your happiness moving forward.


Indifferent Anniversaries.

Some anniversaries are not related to personal happiness or anything- they may simply be moments in history. For example, there are anniversaries such as when nations were born. Some anniversaries can involve certain landmark moments in history- such as women getting the right to vote or certain ethnicities getting certain rights previously barred from them. It could be the end of segregation in some societies. These are anniversaries that have you either liking or hating. Most of these anniversaries are more just memorable moments that have changed history.


What to Take Away From Anniversaries.

No matter what event(s) took place on a certain day or in a certain year, you always try to look back on how far you've come while also looking ahead to a brighter future. Hopefully a future that involves great happiness and joy ripe for the taking. If you become preoccupied with sad memories, that's all you're going to remember and endure for quite some time. It is good to remember the good and bad moments in your life. These are times that define you as you continually life and learn in making yourself a better person.

So be sure to remember the good and bad times in your life. Praise the good moments in your life, but always be hopeful to enjoy many more happy moments. Recall the tough times in your life, but look to learn from your failures or try to be more careful from such harsh moments. There is still a whole lot of your life ahead of you. Look back, move forward. That is what I say and suggest in regards to anniversaries.





Feel free to acknowledge anniversaries for what they are and what they are for.

What are your thoughts on anniversaries in general?

Thank you again for visiting "John's Life Space." Because... life happens. Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.

Birthdays

John B. Marine | January 15, 2018 | | | Be the first to comment!
January 15 is my birthday. So for this blog post, I want to talk about birthdays. One thing that is always great is to look back on how long you've lived so far. You may surprise yourself over this. When it comes to birthdays, the first thing that crosses my mind is wondering just what all I have been through. It is as if to say I am not supposed to live as long as I have. However, we all try to live for as long as we can while going through many aspects of our lives. We go through everything from being in decent health to facing things like being sick (or maybe even injured). We go through pain physically and emotionally. All the while, living life as best as we can. To celebrate an occasion like a birthday simply brings joy to all of us. Knowing we've lived so long and to have such opportunities to make the most of each day is worthy of celebration. Because of this, having a birthday and celebrating it brings us great joy.

Only thing more special than celebrating a birthday is having others wish you a happy birthday. It is a wonderful feeling when people take time out of their day and acknowledge your birthday and offer you birthday wishes. People don't have to do this or feel they are required to do so. However, it is a great feeling knowing people care this much. That, to me, is a much better feeling than celebrating a birthday. It is even better knowing you are loved and respected among a vast audience who wishes you a happy birthday. That's why on Facebook, I get so many birthday wishes from my friends. I don't care who offers birthday wishes or who is first to wish me a happy birthday- I am just thankful people think about me and offer their kindest words on such a special day and a special occasion. Even people who usually don't communicate with me online wished me a happy birthday. It is absolutely sweet knowing such people care so much. And once again- people DO care.

If you are reading this and have your own birthday you are celebrating, let me say...

Happy Birthday
^ from: (YouTube) - Happy birthday to you!

:)





Well, let me know what you think:

How do you feel about birthdays?

Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.

InspireU2Action

John B. Marine | January 04, 2018 | | | | Be the first to comment!
#InspireU2Action is a motivational initiative by Julie Barbera. Julie is the sister of inspirational singer Amy Barbera. The Barbera surname is familiar if you follow my "John's Blog Space" content. Here on "John's Life Space," I am using this blog post to promote Julie's inspirational initiative to all of you. It is a chance to share something with you all that you may find of great interest. So welcome to my life issues blog!

NOTE: This blog post is based on a post done originally on my main blog, "John's Blog Space." But rather than copy-and-paste an old blog post, this is a completely new and different post. That is what I do when making blog posts based on older posts from other blogs.






InspireU2Action


This is a lovely initiative by a lovely lady. Let's learn more about InspireU2Action. I need some kind of way to identify this post. So therefore, I am including this image to set the mood:

InspireU2Action Julie Barbera
^ from: (Twitter) - Julie Barbera, founder of InspireU2Action- a motivational and inspirational initiative.

What is InspireU2Action? InspireU2Action is a motivational tool from the mind and heart of Julie Barbera. She lends her inspiration and motivation to help others to be better people and be strong against all the worries of the world. She does so utilizing powerful messages in her podcasts.

What is important to note is that Julie Barbera provides the basic steps towards being a better person. Everything is built up step-by-step and includes some of her own personal insight. She delivers her messages in a unique and understandable way. Everything is paced at a level to where you know you can be inspired and where you know you can be better. Only thing is, she helps you get started if you are unable to motivate yourself beforehand. That really is the emphasis behind InspireU2Action. If you can not motivate yourself or get yourself motivated to positively change your life, then you will not be able to make yourself better for the future.

When not sharing her messages via podcasts, she shares her insights on social media ranging from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram. If you want to be a better person and look at the world and life in a different way, give Julie Barbera and InspireU2Action a try. InspireU2Action is getting a little more exposure as the site now offers a shop where you can buy merchandise so you can help financially support InspireU2Action.


InspireU2Action Sample.

Here is a sample of Julie Barbera and her motivational and inspirational work from one her earliest podcasts:


^ Power in One Small Step

Besides the advice, how about the sisterly love shown in this video? :) Julie with the advice; Amy with the music. Got to keep it in the family, you know!


For More Information...

You can visit the official home page of InspireU2Action at www.inspireu2action.com/. You can also find a link to InspireU2Action by looking at the "Positive People and Positive Places" section in the sidebar of "John's Life Space."

If Julie Barbera (or even Amy Barbera) is/are reading this, I am hopeful this blog post will help gain you some exposure. Best wishes to you in keeping this initiative going.

And if Amy Barbera happens to be reading this, keep providing the beautiful music you sing. Both you and Julie are wonderful people. You can learn more about Amy Barbera and her music by going to www.amybarbera.com.


Cross-Promotion/Other Reading.

Here is my original blog post on InspireU2Action, in case you are interested: InspireU2Action (John's Blog Space)





This blog is still very young, but I am doing all I can to increase exposure and make it a valuable online resource for those who visit. My goal with "John's Life Space" is to offer a positive space regarding all kinds of life issues from comical to serious. At least let me know that my work means something to the public-at-large. Meanwhile, Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.

The One That Got Away

John B. Marine | January 01, 2018 | | Be the first to comment!
Ever loved someone who seemed perfect for you? Now you're with somebody else (or still single), feeling like you lost the best partner you could ever have. That ex-lover is "the one that got away." Depending on how much that individual meant to you, you may end up feeling terrible that the one who possibly made you complete as a lover no longer wants anything to do with you. The way I've understood "the one that got away," there is someone out there who makes you complete when you look for love; but when you or that person leaves you, you feel like the best possible person to be with is gone. Almost as if to say you let go of the perfect (or seemingly perfect) lover that you want no one else to want to be with, or you missed out on a golden opportunity to be with someone who could complete you as a person. So you end up feeling like the best possible fit for you is now gone. Basically, making you be relegated to finding second best.

We are always under the presumption that there is that special someone who is the perfect fit for us. Perhaps you get to meet that special someone; perhaps you have to keep looking. If you do manage to be with that someone who completes you and that you can love most, you would hate to lose that person whom you felt the most complete and comfortable with. You want to make sure that one you love is YOURS and yours alone. What breaks you up could be of your doing or of that other individual. The other individual may find somebody else and probably live a happier life with another lover, leaving you in shambles. Maybe you will find some other person to love but never feel completely happy being with that lover as opposed to when you were with your now now ex-lover.

I am no relationship expert, and I have never been in any proper relationship. However, I do gain somewhat a grasp on the concept of "the one that got away." All I can say is that you just keep finding the one who completes you most and who you want to be with the most. Maybe you find that someone but then feel happier with someone else. If you want to be taken and loved, find someone whom you can build chemistry with. Love, though, is not about finding the one who is the most perfect; it is instead finding someone whom you can love for a long time. Perhaps love 'til death do you part. Relationships shouldn't be like buying a new mattress, buying a new computer, buying new appliances, or anything that has to periodically be changed. Yet still, do not give up on love if you want to be in any loving relationship. If you somehow no longer are loved by this individual you fell for and can never find anyone who was seemingly the perfect fit for you, then you really did fall in love with one who got away. And if there is someone who truly got away from you, just try to find someone who is not as perfect yet still loving and caring. Perfection isn't everything.





That concludes this blog post. If you want to discuss this topic, let's do so.

What do you think about the ones who get away in our love lives? How do you deal with the pain of letting "that one" getting away?

First post of 2018 for "John's Life Space!" HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
