Biggest Problems In Life

Ms. Athena's Avatar
Stop looking at what's wrong, and instead start looking at what's right about yourself, others, or any situation in general. Nothing or nobody will ever be perfect, so why not just enjoy it to the fullest? Life is too short and time flies. Make an effort to see the beauty in everything before it's too late...

Biggest problem is Time but my solution is Keeping Life Simple. It's a constant battle with complicating life and keeping others at bay from complicating my life.

I just have to remind myself: Keep It Simple.
Accept both victory and triumph humbly.
Live discretely.
Reward myself: Enjoy fine, prime pussy.

. . . However, periodically it is necessary to take general inventory and find out what areas of life need special attention in order to maximize your solution capabilities.

Most of us (I'll exclude millionaires and billionaires) are just one hospitalization away from disaster. And that's very sad.

I would say that even some billionaires are very close to disaster when a major medical complication develops.

Steve Jobs had billions of dollars in his bank account and could buy the finest medical care available on the planet, but all the king's horses and all the king's men could not put him back together again.

Life is really a complicated mystery.

. . . Some people that are young, beautiful and adored by millions, such as Marilyn Monroe, can suddenly choose to take their own lives because in their emotional turmoil they just could not cope with their inner demons.


I just try to stay fabulous lol and hope any man I meet also has that in common ;-)

Emotional issues are one of the most insidious problems of life because they often come at you without warning and are so intense that they can completely overwhelm you before you even know what the hell hit you.

You at least seem to have a handle on what the issue is and recognition is half the battle.

It seems you know what to do, but haven't yet found the strength to do it.

I remember in my youth being so overwhelmed by emotional turmoil that I did not even vaguely know what the problem was, much less take steps to solve it.

. . . I would say that most people wracked by emotional issues today can not even identify the problem devouring them because they are so trapped inside a swirling madhouse of emotions and do not realize that there is another saner world outside of their turbulent emotions.





I am trying hard to fall out of love with someone right now, not easy to do, lol. Takes time, but each day I get better. I know I need to let her go completely and when I have felt enough pain I will, but she keeps calling me and my dumb ass keeps answering. Love is an addiction, people can do some dumb shit when in love. All I have to do is leave her alone, not answer her txts no calls, no contact. She is not good for me, it is that simple, my brain knows that but my heart is stubborn, lol.

I do jnjot need any more money, i am fine in that department. I live a pretty peaceful and happy life but damn emotions get in the way at times. Originally Posted by Outdoorsman

It has been a difficult couple years, not for me directly but for people I care a lot about. Often the financial, physical, and mental issues intertwine, but for me personally it is the mental issues that wrench my heart the most. I feel the most powerless to help in any way. I have a very dear and important lady to me who had physical problems (stroke) that have resulted in mental issues and it rips at my heart each time I visit her.

Ronald Reagan used to be the most powerful man on the planet during the time that he was President of the United States.

However, later, when he developed Alzheimer's disease, his life went into a downward spiral.

Once, he was the was the most powerful men in the world, but then he was afflicted by this terrible disease and he became a helpless imbecile and all he could do was rake leaves into a swimming pool while the Secret Service detail would blow more leaves to him with a leaf blower to keep him occupied. That became the extent of his usefulness. His mind was gone.

. . . Real life tragedies of that scope make you stop and consider what life may have in store for you tomorrow.

My biggest problem at the moment is delaying short term gratification in order to build a more stable life. I also have some self confidence issues.

Going back to the main question in the thread, i think the biggest problems can be family problems.
I am a stay in the solution person as well and everyone once in a while I will get caught up in the problem and than readjust and focus one one thing at a time....
