This is a very common question people usually ask each other, but is there really a direct answer?
I should think not. Whereas some of you might not concur with what I have to say but hey, it's just my opinions, so no hard feelings there.
We all only one life to live, so to live that very life to the best we can is what we want to do. But then there comes challenges. Everyday challenges that we have to face, whether we like it or not.
While some of us give up at the very mention of challenges, some of us choose to go through them, holding on to the belief that we will come out stronger than before. There is an emotional and mental burden that we will have to carry. We get thoughts that we are simply not good enough to get through them, and finally give up. Of course, there are also people who manage to pull through. But to those who give up, they end up in a worse state than ever before.
The point here is not to encourage giving up as an option. To hold on to what is precious to you is all that really matters. As long as what you're doing is glorifying the Lord and all that He's done for us; To die on the cross for us. Then I believe that whatever persecution that we face is worth it.
We all have something that is dear to us, something that is precious to our core self. We think that we should do whatever it takes to protect it. But, we almost always fail to think of what the other party feels (if it's a person), thinking that what we're doing is right. As a result, we fail to uphold the person and may even be considered a trespasser to them.
Stop living in a world of your own. The Earth spins, and doesn't stop doing so. Time passes and waits for no man. Get yourself a reality check and snap out of your dreamy trance. Nothing's going to happen unless you make it happen. Daydreaming doesn't help. Thinking that you're leading a pathetic life doesn't help. And most of all, thinking about things that are not to be is ridiculous. Stop giving yourself more problems. If you choose to give yourself more problems, then you're just going to ruin your life and waste a whole lot of time.
If it's a small problem, keep it small.
If it's a big problem, try minimize the problem.
If it's a problem that gets out of hand, then it's your fault for letting it go out of control.
If there's no problem, don't create one.
You have only one life to live, live it right.
So, what do you want to do with your life?
Live it right?
Or indulge yourself in some fantasy world thinking that only good things will happen.
Choose to live life wisely.
