Struggling is inevitable in one's life. You just can't avoid it. You may think the difference between individuals is how they react when it appends. Let's try anwsering this by keeping it simple. Struggling is like being in a traffic jam on an highway. You know it's not going to be fun and also you know it's gonna take some times. The only things you really can't tell is how much time will it last and how bad it will be. On the other hand, you know it's not a big deal. You'll eventually get out of the traffic jam and it's going to run smoothly until you get it the next traffic jam. It has always been like that. Like good and bad weather.
So you're in and you see exits on your right. You can't really tell if they'll get you out or not but you may be tempted to give it a try. Of course it might work but you can't tell on which road it will lead you on unless you took it in the past. Let's make an exemple. For instance, if you're in a relationship and things are getting complicated. You may see many exits. One might be to simply getting out of the relationship, or another one might be to fake it. Whatever the exit is, it will always get you on a different path than the one you were on.
So the question is. Why were you on that road in the first place. The honest anwser might be someting like you had a goal, a destination. Well you may say there are many roads that lead to this destination so if there's a traffic jam here let's try an exit and see if I can make it. Do you get what I'm trying to tell you? I'm talking about knowing what you want.
There's a problem thought. If by taking an other road you feel what you wanted has changed. The destination is not the same anymore so you haven't taken an exit to get back on the road there was a traffic jam on. You took a complete different path. What if you repeat this over and over and over again. You may never reach any destination at all and someday you will run out of gas. So what's left? The meaning. That's why we're all on this trip. Because we all believe there's a destination, whatever this destination is, that means something. For many it's raising children, for others it's to get married or getting your diploma, success in your career. So you'll continue, as long as you can. Taking exits, changing destination, reaching some or many of them until like I said, you run out of gas which means the only real destination is death.
What is the real meaning of this? Is it to realize it was a hell of a trip? Or it is simply enjoying driving. I do think this is only what really matters and it has nothing to do with how many destinations you reached. Thinking like that may get you out of your struggles better than any exit you may try.
