Question. How do people stay consistent? As in what can be done on daily basis to get past the disappointment, sadness, depression and still have heart to stand strong and stay consistent in the bad days? What is the formula or say mindset required for this? How do you wake up everyday with something to look upto in near future?
P:S - I have low resource credit I apologize for not able to comment or vote on every post :(
As bad as things can get-- and there are times when they can be absolutely bad-- we still decide how to approach adversity and bad times. It wasn't always bad, and the time will come when it's no longer bad; while we're in a bad time we just have to accept it and keep moving forward. It's bad enough to deal with bad times, we shouldn't make it worse by feeding our minds with negativity or bad thoughts.
Bad thoughts enter the mind and pass through the mind quickly-- we can't avoid that. What we can avoid is dwelling on bad thought longer than necessary. If the bad tought enters the mind, let is pass through as quickly as possible. Let it get flushed out.
Just as incoming bad thoughts take up space in our minds, so do good toughts. We need good thoughts to take up valuable mental real estate so that bad thoughts don't find a home there. The more good thoughts we have-- memories, questions, inquiries, experiences-- the better prepared we will be to handle bad thoughts. If you're not at a level where you can do that, the time to start is now so that you can grow stronger.
One of the reasons Rocky Balboa has been a worldwide phenomenon for 35 years is how he handles bad times and adversity: the brutality of boxing, defeats in the ring, insults, death of those close to him, financial ruin, family disappointment, even government bureaucracy. In the 2006 movie Rocky Balboa, Rocky has words of wisdom for his son based on his hard-fought life and experience:

Other people have said similar things, but this is what I go back to.
This is a big question is always very hard to keep your mind off from something that trouble you a lot.
firstly I will say if you except some thing to happen mean if you know that something will bad will come but you don't know when exactly it will happen,though if such thing happened it will be painful but not as touch as when it wasn't prepared for.
Just for example you have a boy friend that womanise and you already knows he can dump you at anytime, and it happen as you thought..it will be painful ul beacuse it happen at the time you never except but it will be out of your mind why because you have been seeing a traces like that alot of things like that I just take this as an instant
Wise idea. Meaning we should always prepare for situations like this because they are bound to happen as soon as we get a traces of it occurrence
this is a good question and i so much love this ,because alot of people have loose focus in the race of success, one of the reasons to be consistent is to have a goal or responsibility, it is your responsibility that will keep pushing you even when you want to give up ,you really don't want to fail
By facing my fears and accepting that i have a problem that only me can fix..
I love the point, but not only you God can fix
Hmm true,i totally agree with what you just said..
I do not want to sound too religious,but as for me what keeps me going is reading my bible and having strong faith in GOD because with him i am able to overcome my challenges via prayers and faith...
thank you ,you are very right but upon reading your your bible you have to have a responsibility that is what will motivate you to keep reading your bible and continue have faith in God .
Prayer and reading the bible also needs action,i will prefer to see a psychatrist...
No mate you're not sounding too religions at all and it's good when we stand by our faith and believe what God can which man cannot do for us .
Through prayers and supplication God hears our voices and attend to our needs, so I urge you as a brethren to keep strong in your faith.
Yes i totally agree with you,prayers do alot of wonders in our lives..
Definitely I want to say ,you are right and I want to say doing that too is a very good idea as it has a way of helping you to grow more maybe in the spirit.
But as I don't see that as the total solution as the place of work too is very vital and I think if I am not quoting this wrong or doing it to suit my point,their is a Bible verse which say
Which means irrespective of how will work pray in life or read the scriptures in life their is a place of work in all will do ,it is our work and prayer that will give us a good end results
I always remind myself that everything comes to an end. That includes bad days/moments.
Maintaining coherence is not an easy task like many things in our life, the key to overcome any obstacle (sadness, disappointment, fear among others) is to face them regardless of the results, I think they will undoubtedly make us stronger.
Honestly this is a big question that so many rush into it but the truth is that if one has not been in the shoe it is easier to judge than facing the issue in a real life senerio.
The basic solution for this to be say happy and over look whatsoever circumstances one might be facing. Of a truth it is not truly easy especially when one is seriously hurt but let just stay calm each time and believe there is problem without solution.
.To remain consistent and go past them negative emotions or setbacks, feeding your mind with inspiring music, or choking the heart with the Word/Scriptures will help in staying hopeful and getting past any setbacks that present itself.
Also reminding yourself of why you started in the first place can be a good one in determining how much you desire to succeed.
Just seeing this and I felt like I should at least do some little add on to it,even thou have read lot of comments from others user's and have seen how they have all pieces the issue and settled it to a length and am forced to say they have said it all,which whatever am going to say now is just like an additional tip to what as been said or I should say a different view from another angle.
First of all I want to say I read @magnacarta and I was moved that what a way of bringing solutions to answer,it was perfectly sorted by him,but that won't stopped me from contributing too as I have said earlier.
Let me start by taking it one after the other, staying consistent in life is a choice to me and it is like setting a goal vans chasing it,it is very important that I let you know that distraction in the way if being consistent is normal,to me I call them a means at which our level of prudency is Ben tested.
Been consistent in what we are doing bus not all about doing it well or doing it often,but it entails how will handle what comes in the process of doing it, or how we react to situation that arises in cause if doing them
Life on the other side as teo Way's,the good dude and the bad side, which means that are days that are going to be bad, while some other days will be good,but it is vital that we know to manage this thing's,let me shop in this that it will not keep on getting the juicy all the time, their are some times that our ability and capacity will be tested with the issue's if life.
That is why us it pleasant to find joy in whatever we need doing,even most especially during the bad days, cause the energy will out in place when will comes across disappointment or difculties will help the more to overcome it
That is the same mindset i have too
This is a great idea, getting to read books and most especially audio songs to get thought left behind and focus your attention I'm the melody of the song.
Having good friend is another this that keeps us going, when you have people that motivates you and support in times of bad and every struggles.
I don't say no to your idea of reading of books,but I see it a bit the major way to actually put consistent in place,we should all know that what will do the more is what we are perfect at and this thing's beckmeo what we can't do without,that is the place of been consistent
Our frequent engagement on those project or how will see those things as task that we should carry out on daily basis is the key to get results
