I am 29. My brother and I started a business venture but due to Covid, we suffered terrible losses and had to close down. My father lost his lifelong savings. He then told me about his friend’s business and took a loan to invest in it for me. Due to lack of options, I agreed to join it but now I feel guilty and disconnected because it is not my area of interest. I wish to restart my previous business, but my parents and brother are not in favour of it. I’m mentally shattered and frustrated. Please help.
Frame painful experiences as lessons on how to be stronger and how to better navigate bad situations. Do not let them make you angry or bitter but use them to make you better and move on. Holding on to pain does more damage to you than to the other person. Learn to let things go, make more room for joy, spirit, relaxation and happiness. Try to strengthen your connections as it will help you develop resilience. Try to be goal oriented-when you have a purpose or goal in life, you have a sense of direction. The moment you have something to look forward to, your emotions turn significantly positive and you begin working towards attaining your goals. While having a goal makes your life more meaningful, bear in mind that the goal must be realistic and have a rational perspective. If you are struggling, please get help from a therapist.
