Today I want to introduce @serioustruth . Although she has not made many posts herself, she has been reading a lot of the posts on the platform. She contacted me to feature her post a few weeks ago and she felt that she can really add value to the people on the platform.
She has only done her introduction post yesterday. Online Teacher from South Africa - Self Introduction
Please welcome her to Steemit by showing her some vote love!
Out of control - Why not take the control back ?
We all have our own problems. Some of us might even create our own problems without even realizing it.
We all have our own view on specific things.
Like whether you like a certain actor or not, but there is in fact, very little that is controlled by humans. We might sometimes feel that we are slipping away in chaos. This is because whatever we don’t control, feels far more important than it actually should.
Out of control means just that.
No amount of therapy is going to change the fact that life reserves to throw more sh*t at you that you can possibly handle. When you look at your own problems, they sometimes look like a mountain that you must climb.

You might feel so helpless and worthless, but it does not mean that everything is going to turn into a mess or that you have a pathetic life.
If you can get past this feeling of helplessness, and take more credit on how you are going to handle the problem, you might be surprised how some of your problems can easily be resolved.
What if somebody does not like you?
Are you going to sit in a corner and think of ways that you can make that person like you, or are you going to carry on with your life as if that person does not exist?
The best way to sort out problems, is to make a list of the problems that you have, or even think you have. Next to each problem, write possible ways to resolve these issues. This may take some time to do, but rather that sitting and worrying about the problem, use your time effectively to solve the problem. There might be more ways to resolve an issue than you think.
Be realistic.
We each have our own way of dealing with things, but this might not always be the right way. Look at yourself critically, because if you blame yourself, you are in fact criticizing yourself. Look at the problem from another perspective. See yourself from someone else’s eyes. What do they see? Someone trying to hold their head above water or do they see someone that they can look up to.
You can in fact change the way you think about things. Do not see your problems as obstacles. See them as puzzles that you need to solve. If one way does not work, go back to your list and try another solution. Remember, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Every cloud has a silver lining…. Be true to yourself, and be the best you can be. Be an example to yourself, and to others.
Happy Steeming!

Great work @jacor to help @serioustruth to modify the article and post on Steemit. I welcome you @serioustruth to our beautiful platform of Steemit where people like me enjoy reading the post and take the pleasure of commenting on them. It is the real fact that people today take the problems of there life as a bag full of load on there short and make their living shorter. We got to think positive and try to workout one day at a time and make it work and enjoyable. Thank you for this beautiful post.
So true. We need to start thinking out of the box.
Perception is everything! The way you perceive the world determines the quality of your life. Well done & welcome , from another South African :)
Oh yes perception can make a world of difference. Stay positive!
Thanks Chuck!

@jocor Taking responsibility and contro for the life is a crucial skill to move life forward all the time :)
One day at a time...take responsibility!
Every problem that were given to a person were given based in its capacity. There's no problem that can't be handle, you just have to find your way around.
Sometimes it's hard, of course it's hard because if its not, then it's not a problem at all.
Great thought provoking post @serioustruth. I recently wrote a post providing an idea on how featured posts can be improved. You can check it out here https://steemit.com/steemit/@nextgen622/why-steemit-needs-a-co-authoring-feature-the-solution-to-the-reputation-problem
I don't understand why @serioustruth needs you to post an article for her. What am I missing? Why couldn't she post herself in order to get both the steem power as well as the steem dollars you are giving her?
Hi @marginal , I do this for many authors. Please have a look at the bottom of each of my posts that I have done for the past month.
