Push Through

Definition of "Push Through"

According to an article on huffpost.com, "push through" means that "you can conquer and get through any adversity that life introduces you to". "Push through", to me, means that no matter what obstacles or difficulties are thrown your way, you just continue to move forward and get to the other side, which is where your victory awaits. 

                                                                  

How to Push Through?

How do you push through if everything around you seems so bleak and hope seems so distant? Can I suggest that you should avoid focusing on the obstacles, the difficulties, etc? I know it's easier said than done. But I've been there and I'm speaking from experience. You tend to get what you focus on. So why focus on the negatives (obstacles, etc)? You might as well focus on what you want, right? Why not try to visualise and think of how your life would look like once you've pushed through and overcome? 

Give Yourself Hope

Give yourself hope by reaching out to help others. When you shift your focus from your own need or pain to meeting the needs or alleviating the pain of others, you might actually be giving yourself hope. How? When you see the sufferings of fellow men which might be worse than what you're experiencing, you'll be (kind of, at least) giving yourself hope because you'd probably recognise that your situation isn't as bad. Agree?

Give yourself hope by reaching out to others for support. Even if you don't have anyone in your own circle that you could reach out to, just try reaching out to someone, even if it's a total stranger  (but be wise, though). That was what I did, and that was probably the reason (or one of the reasons) why I'd finally come out of the dark place of hopelessness. 

You could reach out for support via a helpline if you don't feel comfortable sharing with anyone in your own circle or if you don't feel comfortable sharing with others face to face.

Remember, when you have hope, it's easier to push through. 

Choose an Empowering Meaning to Your Experience

According to an article on getmotivation.com, the writer shares his eight steps to pushing through any obstacles. According to him, "we assign meanings to our experiences". So whatever negative experiences we might have encountered or are encountering, we could choose to assign empowering meanings to those experiences rather than disempowering ones.

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
