Trying to move ahead during hard times is vital for survival

When your world is turned on its axis, it's hard even to remember your name, let alone put one foot in front of the other and try to salvage the situation. Unfortunately, many people feel that they have to take quick and robust action straightaway. This is a huge mistake.Trying to move ahead is essential when times are hard, but it should be done at the right time. If you try to make changes in your life when you're grieving, suffering, or confused, how can you expect things to work out? Your mind is entirely elsewhere! When situations seem to be a little too much to deal with, remember that self–discipline will get you through. The ways to do that are probably not what you've been attempting so far.

“Self–Discipline in Difficult Times” teaches you that moving in some ways is essential, but it has to be the right way. You can only identify which path is correct by giving yourself a little time, accepting the situation, and coming to terms with it. Then, you must allow yourself to feel the emotions connected with whatever you're facing.Of course, some hardships are more challenging to deal with than others.
