HELLO everyone, thank you for visiting my blog today. My name is Linda Frame and I am here everyday with: DAILY ADVERSITY SUPPORT
Authors Note: For my background information, please visit my Profiles on Facebook and Linkedin.
I’m here to talk about the challenges, the hurdles, those ‘nothing goes right days and the set backs that jump in your way unexpectedly. You may even feel like that ‘black cloud’ hanging over your head seems to have your name on it.
If a particular topic of the day here doesn’t suit you or doesn’t speak to you, that’s fine, maybe tomorrows topic will seem more interesting to your issues in your life. Why, because I have been through a lifetime of rock bottom challenges, and I want to share how you can crawl back up successfully.
Going through the rough times, struggling through day by day, but then losing the battle, is one of the few times we really take a look at ourselves and ask, “how did this happen, how did I get here, what did I do wrong”.
When we ask ourselves those questions, we further find how lonely we feel.
But what’s one of the first things we do? We look around for someone to blame for our loss, our challenges, our hurt, our mess.
Blaming someone else is not the answer because they most likely had nothing to do with what happened to you. Shifting blame onto someone else is only avoiding the cause. Maybe you just lack the qualities you must have to be the person you should be.
Qualities, yes you read that right. Qualities are what make you a good person, they come from within you, it’s a learned behavior. You should live everyday by the qualities you have within you.
Here’s what I’m referring to about QUALITIES, and if you don’t have these, you better learn how to have these qualities:
Honesty……………. Always, speak and live the truth.
Responsibility…… Be dependable, be trustworthy.
Thoughtfulness…. Think of others before yourself.
Confidentiality….. Don’t tell secrets, don’t gossip, keep your mouth shut.
Punctuality……….. Always be on time.
Self-Control………. Stay calm, especially when under stress.
Determination….. Have a “stick with it regardless” attitude.
Patience…………… Be willing to wait. Fight yourself against irritability.
Purity……………… Reject anything that lowers your standards.
Compassion………When someone else hurts, feel it with them.
Diligence…………. Work hard and tough it out.
These are qualities you should be passing on to your children. Why? Because these are qualities of a good, solid, successful and positive person. Isn’t this what we look for when choosing a friend, spouse, partner, a babysitter, or anyone else you what to be a part of your life?
As a parent, you should already have these qualities, if you don’t, then what are you teaching and showing your kids, they learn from you.
As a person, whether you’re a friend, spouse, partner or in business, you should also already have these qualities because if you don’t, you’ll eventually find yourself alone.
Get these qualities within yourself and practice them everyday. What you do everyday, is what you will become.
“Throughout your life & everyday, remember, your actions always speak louder than your words”……….
See you tomorrow

Wonderful post Linda. Totally agree with all the qualities you mentioned. It’s about knowing your core values! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ann, you know the ‘core values’ very well. I appreciate your thoughts.
They are good qualities you have listed and yes they are the qualities you do look for friends. Usually you gather people around you that are either similar to you or people who have qualities that you lack and know you can learn from them. Thank you for sharing Linda:)
Yes Naomi, having like minded people around you & those who you admire with qualities you’d like to have, are the best people to surround yourself with. You are absolutely right. Thank you Naomi I appreciate you.
Great post Sue! These qualities should be life commandments. I’m sharing this with some people I know! I know someone that needs “self control” really bad!
Thank you Beth, these ARE my life commandments. Self control is essential to getting through all we have in front of us & a wonderful habit to develop. Thank you Beth.
If only more people understood the qualities you refer to and held them as Core Values … what a different world we would live in.
Thank you for your refreshing honesty! Love this post!
What a different world indeed we’d live in if people would heed to these qualities. These ‘habits’ require ‘less’ energy to develop than poor qualities, it’s strange so many people just don’t get that. Thank you Erica for your kind words & perspective. I love hearing your insight.
