Christians celebrate Easter to observe Jesus Christ rising from the dead after he was crucified. They believe that by his rising from the dead, he overcame the devil which represents evil. Most Christians use this time to reflect on triumphing over the bad and because of that triumph, their sins are forgiven and they will go to heaven. With that said, I want to talk about overcoming adversary...
No one is immune to life's tribulations...it's a matter of how you react to them. Some people feel hopeless and give up while others push through to get past their troubles. Some things are out of one's control while other situations are a result of one's choices. It's important to be able to differentiate between the two. Some problems are fixable while others are not. Only you can figure that part out.
While going through the tough times it's important to have support of the people you love and care about. Hopefully you're not at a point where you have no support system but if you are it's your responsibility to seek a new support system. You also have to do what you can and take it a day at a time. A storm doesn't suddenly end. Also use adversity as a time of self-reflection: what do you need to do so you're not in the same mess again? You may also find that some people may stick around while others will run. The ones who run most likely do not need to be in your life in the first place. If you need to, religion and spiritually may help you through your tough times. Take the time to strengthen your faith or find a new faith/belief system. A counselor or mental health professional can help you with your journey if you need it. Many therapists have low cost options for those with financial hardships.
While you spend time with the people you care about most this Easter, remember that you can overcome the hard times. This too shall pass...
Happy Easter!
Take care,
