Taking Advantage of Bad Times and Embracing the Reality of the Situation...
Hi, dear Steemians!
As hard as we fight back, as resiliently as we defend our life and the treasure of destiny with our will and resolve, we are not in control of everything that happens in the world around us.
And trust me, the world around us is important when it comes to taking steps for your life. Some people might be in denial of that, but they will always wind up hurting themselves rather than help the situation by ignoring it altogether.
There are many things that can happen to the human society which will make life harder for all the members, from the farmer working the fields to the officer serving to protect the rights of the people, to the senator who safeguards the laws of trade and interaction, and the leader who struggles to maintain balance.
A thing that befalls a society is an affliction for all its members. These are what we call ‘bad times’ where we all come together and protect each other from the storm that is raging outside.
An immediate example would be the crisis which has crippled the government of the United States.
Hundreds of thousands of federal employees have been out of work for more than a month and missed their paycheck and holiday privileges.
In bad times such as this, we have to choices; to cower in a corner and ignore the reality of the circumstance that we are dealing with, or to find a way and take advantage of the situation to meet your ends.
Michael Schumacher is one of the greatest racing drivers in the history of the world. When experts decided to analyze his techniques, they realized something interesting about the way he handled his car.
When everybody else seemed to slow down in the twists of the road, Michael Schumacher actually sped on and tried to use that as a leverage to get ahead of his competition.
In face of great adversary, you decide how to react. In bad times and tough situations, you can use your cunning and your wit to get out of the problem or even better, use that to your advantage.
By embracing the reality of the situation and telling yourself the stuff you need to hear, you will begin to see everything as it is. Now, you have to gather your resolve and try to find a way around the terrible incident that has befallen you.
Even in the darkest hours, there is still hope. You are a powerful being bestowed with will and capable of thought. Your inner power can rival that of the greatest natural phenomena in this universe.
But it is easy to forget your power and your will in bad situations.
Remember your strengths and trust in yourself to make everything right even in the darkest nights.
You will eventually find yourself smiling again at the light of day!
A BIG HUG!

To apply this theory to STEEM - I post no matter what. I don't worry about price and may work harder in times of low prices. There is less competition at that time. This goes for weekends and holidays too.
I've been here through a few ups and downs already. The consistent people are the ones who win the race. All of us who posted here recently got bigger sp rewards in the bad times that will pay off in the good.
We also do not have to "ramp back up." The same effort each day means we can just continue when others are trying to remember how to do things here.
You're right . When difficult times come from the outside world, a person connects all his hidden talents, trying to rectify the situation. Thank you for the interesting message.
@chbartist
I love the spirit and mindfulness of your posts. Staying positive is a very important aspect of life, especially when in the midst of crisis.
I used to have a friend who was extremely into philosophy, religion, being positive, etc. He was almost the opposite of the iconic "Tears of a Clown" painting. He seemed to be a very happy clown. He ended up taking his own life, much to my personal dismay. I came up with a way to characterize him like this: he was a , "Positive Attitude Bum." He was so focused on chanting his mantras of positivity that he never actually DID anything. And, I think his inability to actually DO WORK and accomplish any of his positive visions is what ultimately drove him towards insanity and suicide.
I would like to add something which I believe is extremely important to your article here - something a bit more practical. I have to disagree with your assessment that the government shutdown in the U.S., and the subsequent laying off of 800,000 government employees is a crisis. Or, rather, yes - it IS a crisis for those involved, but the real underlying crisis which is responsible for the symptoms you have mentioned above has a much more specific cause. And, what is even worse, nobody even knows how to "get into the weeds" to identify what is wrong, because it's been hidden by the so-called "leaders" of America. The shutdown, as well as many, many other subjects in the news cycle, are PURPOSEFULLY DESIGNED TO OBFUSCATE AND HIDE REALITY FROM THE MASSES. This is the first epiphany your readers in the U.S. need to understand, in their bones. There is no left vs. right, black vs. white, republican vs. democrat, and liberal vs. conservative - these are all distractive narratives which too many of us have all fallen for.
Let me put it this way: if I was going to rob a bank, what would be the very best distraction to create - so that I could get away with all of the money? What if everyone who worked at the bank and every customer who visited the bank, were so caught up in fighting with each other over a pile of $10,000,000 in $1 bills that I dumped on the floor - that I could simply walk into and out of the vault without attracting any attention whatsoever?
This is exactly what is happening in America, RIGHT NOW. As proof of what the real game is actually being played, let me direct your attention to something which I will not give you the answer to, but give you the first breadcrumb on a trail which each person must choose to follow for themselves, or not.
Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board - Standard 56
This is a group of people who direct all accounting practices of the Federal Government inside of the U.S. Did you know that it is now legal practice for over 150 agencies of the U.S. Federal Government to keep two sets of accounting books? One false set, to be disclosed to the masses - and one secret set, which tell the real story of where all of the money went. Stop to consider the implications of THAT for a while... Nobody in the financial markets, no investment advisor, no financial guru, nobody with a pension or a 401k, almost nobody has ANY idea of what the true financial status of the World Reserve Currency truly is. The current U.S. Debt in not $21 Trillion. It is actually, right now, well over $50 Trillion - and climbing.
Everybody has a sense that, "something is wrong." If you take some time to do the research on FASAB-56, you will begin to lift the veil and see behind the curtain as to what the actual problem truly is. Happy hunting!
If you are as lazy as my tragic friend, I insist on making this a bit easier for you:

In times of crisis it is best to try to handle everything with wisdom, however there are times when your mind runs out and you may faint a little, but the important thing is to do everything possible to manage your mind to seek a light at the end of the tunnel. to be able to see positive things even if they are very hidden when you are going through adversity ... I say this from my own experience! I fight in this situation and I recognize that there is a moment that I faint a little but I do everything possible to react as soon as possible.
The key to hope is freedom of choice. Can a person choose what he actually wants as a reaction? He can not change what has happened, but he can maintain his balanced and rational reaction, and also the optimist and the positive; because he has the power of himself, and has the ability to overcome the most difficult situations, whenever he believes in his inner abilities, when he believes he deserves to live a happy life And beautiful, here will be a good choice and positive
Every human experience is taught by something "what", and adds to his life a lot of things, whether positive or negative. Yes, there are positions that melt man, make him enter dark or painful hallows, but he learns something new, as a new child, then realize the value of things, attitudes and people
When you experience any bad experience, whether it is a failure or frustration, do not forget to write it when you have a record of bad experiences is guaranteed to you in many aspects, including:
Makes you more ready to take chances when the only risk is your pride.
This leads to more focus and learning from your mistakes so that over time you may discover that you will not go through bad experiences for a year because you are trying hard enough to avoid these errors
Hope is what makes the castaway ask for help even though he is in the middle of the sea and alone. In my country, Venezuela, we are living in this moment a few fateful hours! Yesterday, after so many years, hope was lived again. Fighting has never become a mistake or a waste of time. But there are certainly times when hopelessness can shelter our souls, but giving up is like closing the house and setting it on fire. Although many years of struggle have passed to get out of our dictatorship, perhaps now is our time to win. That sometimes we don't win for the strong, but for the insistent. Thank you very much for your reflection, @chbartist. Greetings
Events and attitudes are changing and several, between the beautiful and the frustrating and shocking. The human psyche is also changing, nothing proves, how many relationships have ended, and how many human acquaintanceships have started by coincidence, although there is no such thing as coincidence, everything is destined ...
