What is your definition of a tough time, because everyone goes through a period of challenges or crisis. Tough times have nothing to do with status young or old, rich or poor, there is a saying that the rich also cry. A tough time is a time of difficulty or a time when things seem not working well. If you have been enjoying success in all you try and taste failure for a time and see how people who fail feel and get over it. Tough time can come in various ways it might be a Time of
· Sickness or diseases
· Lost of job
· Jilt
· Disappointment by loves one and friends

The most important thing I want you to know in whatever challenges you are facing presently is it wouldn’t last forever, if you can confront it you will celebrate your effort and victories forever. Your mind-set when going through tough matters, so people already give up when they have a little taste of wave. Suicide or quitting should not be an option in a difficult time. We are a product of what we believe and confess when passing through a tough time.
Most people see tough time as a Time to end it all, By committing suicide. This is not meant to be, it a period of trial and training for betterment of your personality, an eagle doesn’t bow for the storm but soar. Because after the storm it glorifies. Gold passes through tough times when it has been refined in the fire. Allow these factors to be in your minds daily when you are passing through tough times or when you are not.
All-time ends one day
There is nothing one goes through in this world that won’t come to an end be it good or bad. All you just have to do as an individual is to accept whatever comes your way for each day, for the past and believe every day is unique on its own. Everyone faces difficulties
every individual has what they could term as a tough time. So never think you are the only one facing such challenges. There are even some worse situations that are worse than yours. There is a proverb in my language
Opo alangba lo d'anu dele, a ko mo eyi t'inu nrun
All lizards lie flat on their stomach, it is difficult to determine which has a stomach ache
Same thing human race everyone wears clothes, that are looking good, smiling, or walking on the street that are problem free. Their faces may look good but you don’t know if they are facing challenges.
Its training time
every challenges one faces in life is an open opportunity to learn a lesson. Our lessons for tough times might be different, it has either been sweet or bitter ones. You may not have to eat today that doesn’t mean you die in hunger, you just need to learn a lesson from it. When you now have much food on your table you will know there some who don’t have at all.
You can’t do it alone
there is a saying that problem shared is problem solve, we always need someone who will confide in times of difficulty. You never journey alone in life, you surely need somebody as “ a tree can not make a forest”. Whoever you are sharing your problem shouldn’t just be anybody but could be someone older, experience and secretive. At times people you confide in tough times add salt to your injury which makes things worst. Watch who you run to for help in difficult times.
Be grateful in all your ways
In everything, we should make it a habit to give thanks to God. Because whatsoever we a facing we are still better than some others who are in the same problem.
Truly that we are all going to experience tough time. Some already experienced, some are experiencing. But quiting will never solve anything. I really like what you said "In everything, we should make it a habit to give thanks to God. " We should really have a greatful heart in all circumstances. We must thank God whatever we are facing because He blesses us. ❤️
