Throw Me To The Wolves And I’ll Lead The Pack

Everyone carries a personal battle on his shoulders and in his heart. None can be compared to that of your neighbor, nor to that of your partner or best friend.

We all have well-hidden fears, traces of a past that has not yet healed and of a labyrinth in which we do not find the exit and we see more enemies than allies.

Throw me to the wolves and I’ll lead the pack . This is the attitude with which you must get up every morning to face the adversities, challenges and difficulties that life puts you through.

Is there an explanation? Why did we have to go through certain situations? There are those who say that our problems are the direct result of our actions or our bad decisions. In reality, this rule does not always apply.

Sometimes things go wrong because adversity hits us randomly. The people we trusted betray us, a situation that seemed safe is no longer safe, health is not always iron, but crystal.

It is not easy to accept, but the truth is that when we arrive in this world, no one assures us that our days will be carefree. Someone should warn us that it is best to learn how to lead the wolf pack as soon as possible.

Wolves: strong creatures in the face of any adversity. And you, are you good fighters?

I will lead my opponents, I will fight the difficulties

Think about this question for a moment: What was your first encounter with difficulties?

People are said to lose their innocence the moment adversity appears, a loss or obstacle that forever changes the way they see the world.

You may think that no one is ready to face the first adversity, but this is not the case. It is something instinctive, the result of the law of survival; you have multiple strategies within you that will make you great survivors.

We know that sometimes there is nothing left of the great words, only smoke that disappears from an open window: we are talking about motivational phrases which are then not applied to reality.

Nevertheless, know that your difficulties have something special; it is worth thinking about it and breaking your inner patterns to overcome an external enemy.

Remember these aspects and think about them:

• There is no worse enemy than your limiting thoughts. It happens to think that around you is full of wolves, of constant threats that hinder your personal growth and your happiness.

• Change your thoughts and you will change your reality. It is not just a cliché.

Remove power from those who hurt you or who have hurt you in the past. Advance free from unnecessary burdens. Don’t feed your suffering with silent resentments, say what you think and limit your pain.

There will come a day when you will realize that often your worst enemy is yourself. Only then will you begin to win your battles and be masters of your life.

Think about it, instead of focusing your attention on the outside to contemplate your adversity. Look within yourself and find the courage offered by the survival instinct; it’s there, even if you don’t know it.

How to face difficulties

Sometimes we get tired of being told the classic phrase “the greatest teachings come from adversity”. These are vital moments that put us to the test, in order to gain knowledge through suffering.

None of us want to suffer, there are even those who do not tolerate pain. But if you do not have patience in the face of small difficulties, you will fail in the face of major problems.

We all live in the “here and now” and fight problems, waiting to receive that vital knowledge that allows us to improve our situation. Until when do we have to wait?

At what moment will we finally lead the wolf pack, if we constantly live among them?

There are those who get used to living with their enemy. He accepts and lets himself be blocked by the fear of change and what might happen. It is not fair to criticize these people, because everyone is free to live life as he wants, even if in this way he is deprived of happiness and satisfaction.

• Be masters of your life, we assure you that the game is worth the candle. Recognize your enemies, both external and internal (fear, indecision, insecurity, etc.)
• Name what happens to you. Are you happy next to that person? Does your life make you unhappy? What are you afraid of?
• It’s time to raise your voice; start by talking to yourself: “ What do I need to feel better? Will the effort be rewarded? How will I guide my fears until they disappear? What about my external enemies? “

Employ the strategies you think are most convenient. You may be afraid of the outcome, but the battle will always pay off, as it will help you feel alive, capable and courageous. Be yourself.
