Sometimes when you think of your future it will look uncertain & depressing. Things look like nothing is working in your favour. You will feel like giving up your dream & settling for something less. Such thoughts were constant in my journey too. Somehow I dealt with them.

Firstly, I kept thinking big irrespective of negative emotions I was going through. It was madness - imagining myself donning big roles in life when I was at the mercy of other people. But it used to work as I was able to bounce back fast & shift focus onto something positive.
Slowly realised these thoughts were not only harming my mental well-being but were also affecting relationships. This realisation reduced frequency of such thoughts. Giving importance to happiness of people around us will make us happy too.
It was hobbies like blogging, reading that ultimately helped deal with such emotions. I would bash politicians in my posts(all deleted now). I would relate my experience with characters in novels and find solace there. Use creativity as a medicine - works really well.
Finally, there was this burning desire to lift our family from its troubles. There was even bigger dream of serving society in big capacity. It was essential to endure everything to see better future someday. Thinking of bigger purposes beyond personal interests helps a lot.
In any case donβt allow negative thoughts to consume you. Donβt allow them to dominate your life. Itβs your choice to be tougher than your problems and beat them all. Problems are never ending - even when you achieve success. Itβs our attitude that makes the difference.
