A multitude of difficulties, always enduring, what is the meaning of life? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Late at night, seeing my sister's WeChat message, she said she finally made it through, as did I, enduring in life, studying, and in the workplace, facing a myriad of challenges. It's easy to say that it will pass, but no one knows what I've been through. Why must I go through such experiences? What is the significance of it all?

Dear Sir/Madam, I am pleased to be able to answer your question. I hope that you find the following suggestions helpful. Kind regards,

The process of life is a series of challenges, and each individual is responsible for overcoming their own. Since childhood, we have successfully navigated numerous challenges, including those encountered during the transition from kindergarten to primary school, from primary school to junior high school, from junior high school to high school, and even the gaokao and the subsequent transition to university life. However, upon entering this new phase of life, we realize that there are still many more challenges to come, including career choices, career development, family changes, changes in life stages, and the need to define one's own future.

Individuals will encounter diverse challenges and possess varying objectives and meanings in life.

The significance of this challenge is a matter of philosophical inquiry, and it is likely that no single answer can be universally accepted. It is possible that each individual may have a unique perspective on this question.

Should we experience extreme mood swings or physical discomfort during the process of overcoming obstacles, we are encouraged to seek timely psychological counseling.

In the course of business, everyone will encounter some minor or major difficulties. For minor difficulties, we have the ability to solve them ourselves. When facing major difficulties that we cannot solve on our own, we can seek assistance from colleagues or external professionals.

It is my hope that through personal growth, we can successfully overcome all obstacles and find the answer to the meaning of overcoming obstacles.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the world and to express my love for you all.

Hello, Your sister's message in the middle of the night made you think about yourself, your past, and your many experiences. It's clear you have complex feelings, which makes it difficult for people. The reality is very different from your expectations. I believe you have made a lot of efforts and attempts. The meaning of life is a topic that almost everyone has thought about, especially when they encounter difficulties and experience complex feelings. Life is a magnificent picture. When we think about the meaning of life, we can take a look at what life includes: the past, the present, and the future. We also have different roles in life. We are children, we may also be parents, colleagues, friends, relatives, subordinates or superiors, and have our own careers. Each of these things has its own meaning. When we feel strong emotions, such as intense pain, we feel that all of these things are dulled. However, it seems that most of our lives are somewhere in between these two extremes. This may mean that when we are troubled in one area, we may find joy and support in others. When Frankl was imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp in Germany, he was in the most difficult situation and even in danger of losing his life at any time. For him, the meaning of life was to help others. In the process of helping others, he felt the meaning of living and wrote "The Meaning of Life".

When we think about the meaning of life, we can think about what I want (the content can involve all areas of life). I want to be a certain kind of person.

I will achieve these aspirations. I know my strengths and resources that will help me.

What can support me? See more layers of life.

You should also think about what you will be like in 10 years (this can cover all areas of life). And in 20 years.

If you had a time machine, what would your future self say to you? Write these down to help you understand yourself better. You may have different thoughts and feelings when you look back at them after a while. This will help you understand yourself better. If you are in a long-term depressed or anxious state and your emotions do not improve, you can also seek professional psychological counseling for help.

Good evening, host. I am honored to respond to your inquiry. Late this evening, I received a WeChat message from my sister indicating that she had finally completed the task.

Furthermore, feelings of self-pity emerge. Life, studies, and the workplace all become sources of distress.

There are numerous challenges. It is often asserted that these difficulties will eventually dissipate.

It is unclear to whom I am referring when I say that "no one knows what I've been through." Why did I have this experience?

One might inquire as to the purpose of this line of inquiry.

I must confess that I am at a loss to answer your question. Perhaps if I consider my own experiences, I may be able to offer some insight. There are numerous parallels between you and me. My own life is not going well, neither is my academic performance nor my career. I do not experience the same degree of distress as you do.

Embarking on a new phase of life may initially present challenges, but with time, individuals tend to adapt and perceive their circumstances as manageable. At the age of 40, one may secure employment that provides a livelihood and engage in a secondary venture that aligns with their interests. While striving for excellence is not a primary objective, it is also not a motivation to subsist in financial hardship.

It can be argued that the primary cause of suffering is not the inherent difficulty of one's circumstances, but rather the tendency to compare oneself to others. This comparison often reveals perceived shortcomings, leading to self-blame and internal conflict, which can be mentally and physically exhausting.

Perfectionism is, in fact, the most imperfect state of being, given that anything that is perfect is not, in fact, real.

It is inevitable that individuals will engage in comparison, yet it is crucial to identify the most appropriate object of comparison. It is a widely held belief that the most beneficial object of comparison is oneself. One can contrast one's past self with one's present self, or one's yesterday self with one's tomorrow self. As long as this process is constructive and encouraging, there is no need to be overly critical of oneself or to expend energy on self-defeating thoughts.

Such a lifestyle need not be a significant challenge, and it can even foster optimism. The essence of life is to live, to have hope, and to envision a future.

I am gratified to have been able to arrange a meeting with you in 1983. I extend my warmest regards to you and to the world at large.

The question is posed as to whether…

Every little bit of progress counts!

What is the meaning of life?

Everyone's answer will be different, and it's going to be a blast! For me at this stage, it's like getting a ticket for life, to experience all kinds of human experiences. In the process, follow your heart to explore all kinds of possibilities!

I absolutely love the taste of sweetness! But I also love bitterness—it's a great taste!

I love taking photos! I hope the above words can give you some strength. Thanks for reading! The world and I love you!

The meaning of life is a big question, and everyone has their own take on it. Here are some ideas to help you find your own meaning.

First of all, life isn't always smooth sailing. It has ups and downs, challenges and rewards. While difficult problems and processes are tough to endure, they're all part of life and the only way to grow.

Sometimes, difficulties can actually make us stronger and more capable of facing future challenges.

Second, all the experiences in life are meaningful. Every difficulty is an opportunity to practice and improve yourself.

You can learn a lot from this, such as how to manage stress, how to handle challenges, and how to persevere. These experiences and lessons will become valuable assets, helping you feel more confident and at ease in the future.

Regarding the question you asked, "Why do I have to go through this? What's the point?"

Everyone's got a different take on this. You can try to figure out your own answer, and it might take some time and thought, but it'll be worth it.

You might find that these experiences are actually meant to help you better understand yourself and life, so that you can appreciate the present even more.

Finally, don't forget to give yourself a break and some encouragement. There will always be ups and downs in life, but you've got to believe in your own strength and value.

No matter what difficulties you encounter, just hang in there and believe that you can overcome it. It's also important to relax when you need to. Give yourself some breathing space so that you can better face the challenges of life.

Questioner, you're doing great! Be grateful for the experience.

After reading your description, I can see how you're struggling and feel for you. You seem a little lost in life. I'm here for you, let's talk about this together.

1. Take a step back and look at the problem from a higher system.

I had a sudden feeling today while picking up my child that I want to share with you. Looking out from our balcony towards the school, I feel that the school is a dense forest of buildings.

And when I stood at the school gate, I felt like the nearby high-rises were so clear and tall. I felt pretty small in this forest of high-rises.

Sharing this feeling is to remind you to sometimes take a step back and look at things from a distance. When we're in the middle of things, we can feel overwhelmed. It's easy to think that the problems will never end.

When we take a step back and look at these problems from a higher perspective, we realize that they're not as problematic as they seem.

We all had those moments in school when we felt like our classmates were driving us crazy, that our teachers were always on our case, and that we could never get those problems solved. But if you look at those problems from your current perspective, you'll realize that they weren't really that big of a deal.

2. Seeing the resources behind these difficulties

It's true that these problems are tough and draining. If we can identify the resources behind them, it might help us approach them differently.

The reason these problems are an issue for you is that you either don't know how to do them or you're not good at them.

These problems pop up to show you where you need to improve and to challenge you in a way that helps you grow.

Once you've become particularly skilled at these tasks, you'll find them easy.

3. Set goals

Everyone defines their own life differently, but no matter who you are, you need to have certain life goals. When you have your own life goals, it's easier to stay on track.

But when we're stuck, looking at this life goal can help us figure out what to do next. It helps us identify what we want to do, what we still have to do, and what else we can do.

You can picture what kind of life you want to have when you're older. When you have this picture in your mind, you can start to think about what your life goals should be.

When you have a clear life goal, you'll see that what you're doing now is taking you step by step towards your goal. Maybe your goal is to look back at the end of your life and not have any regrets.

When you think about your life goal, everything you do now has meaning.

We all face challenges in life. It's important to learn to love and accept yourself, recognize your own strengths, and build on them. This will help you see that life is still very meaningful, even when you're facing difficulties.

I hope this helps, and I wish you the best!

Life is a journey filled with unexpected turns, and it seems like we both have been on quite the ride. Reading your sister's message, I feel a sense of relief that she has found her way through. We often question the purpose of our struggles, but maybe these experiences shape us in ways we can't yet see.

Maeve Anderson The fairness of a teacher in evaluation is a cornerstone of students' trust in the learning process.

It's tough to stay strong when everything around you feels uncertain. Your sister's message resonates deeply; there are times when only those who've walked the same path can truly understand. It's okay to wonder why we must endure such trials, but perhaps each challenge is a step toward something greater, even if we don't know what that is yet.

Billy Davis To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will.

Sometimes, latenight thoughts can be the most profound. Your sister's words reflect a common sentiment: surviving the hard times. We all ask ourselves why we must go through certain experiences. Maybe the answer lies not in the destination but in the strength we build along the way. It's about finding meaning in the midst of difficulty.

Henryk Jackson Teachers are the magicians who turn textbooks into tales of adventure.

Every struggle has its own story, and it sounds like your sister and you have many to tell. It's natural to question the significance of our hardships. Yet, in the quiet moments, like late at night, we might find clarity. These experiences, though painful, may be teaching us resilience and helping us grow in ways we didn't expect.
