How to Cope with Unfairness in Life: 3 Steps to Find Inner Peace

How to Cope with Unfairness in Life requires acknowledging that challenging times are inevitable. There are times which are heavy when nothing comes together, nothing goes smooth and it appears the world is out to get you.

If at any point you have thought "Nothing is going my way?" -- take a breath.

This isn’t a sign of weakness; it is very human. Let's look at this issue of how we deal with life’s unfairness which we do not do by ignoring that it is so, instead we do it with clarity, perspective, and purpose.

Life Isn’t Always Fair—And That’s Okay

One of the great pitfalls we see is in our expectation that life will be fair. We think that which we put out into the world, we will get back in return. That our hard work will be recognized and rewarded. That which is kind we will receive from others in how they treat us. Life is not a math problem. It’s random at times. Also messy. And at times very unfair. This isn’t to say we should become cynical. It does mean we have to stop expecting perfect peace of mind in the course of life. When we demand that life be fair at all times we put ourselves at risk for emotional burn out.

Step 1: Identify What You Are Dealing With

When you feel as if the world is out to get you, stop. Instead of reacting from emotion from the brain, move forward and look out for the issue.

Ask yourself: Think to yourself :.

  • What exactly is going wrong?

  • Is this something I can change?

  • Is it out of my hands?

Here are two types of issues which we face:.

  1. Issues we can control like our habits, choices, actions, and reactions.

  2. Issues beyond our control Like that of someone else’s action, unexpected life events, or past errors.

Knowing the distinction also allows you to put less energy into what you can’t change and put more into what you can.

Step 2: Take what you can

If the issue is as a result of your own doings change starts with you. Well for some reason you may be in a struggle from a past poor choice or a repeating error. That said, this is not the end of the world. In fact it is a chance for you to grow and learn and change. Also you have the ability to do things in a different way going forward.

Yes, it may be out of your comfort zone.

Yes, it may take time. But no one else can walk that road for you.

Others may give advice, put in a good word for you or point you in the right direction but change is a very personal journey. So where you feel life is unfair because of some variable in your control, take that as a chance to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient.

Step 3: Let which you will

What if the issue is out of your hands? In many cases we put out energy in that direction. We try to transform people. We put out effort to make others see our value. We seek validation, we demand fairness, we get frustrated when the world doesn’t conform. But here’s the truth: You can’t control other people. You don’t get to bestow respect, love, or fairness.

The more you try the more you wear out your own peace. What do you propose instead?

  • When someone criticizes you unfairly—remind yourself: My identity is not what they think.

  • When life throws chaos at you—remember: I have choice in my response.

  • When things don’t go your way—ask: What do I take away from this? How may I grow?

Perspective is a tool. It allows you to transform between pain which might just be hurting you and that which can grow you as a person into wise and strong being.

Rebuild Your Inner World

In hard times what you can do is to fortify your inner self. Fill your mind daily with positive thoughts, uplifting sounds, and empowering practices. Read material that empowers you. Tune into soothing music. Cultivate gratitude. Meditate. Go into nature.

The more you develop a robust mental health the less you will be shaken by life’s unfairness. Peace is not found in a perfect world, it is built from within.

Life will at times feel unfair. At some points in your life you will not make sense of what is going on. Plans will not always work out. But that doesn’t mean you are at the mercy of it all. You do have that which is of you your thoughts, your reactions, your focus, and your inner peace.

So when life feels unfair: When in life you feel justice is not being served:. Understand the nature of your struggle

  1. Change what you can

  2. Let go of what you can’t

  3. And grow from it all

Let go to the chaos which forms your calm. In the struggle see your strength awoken. Out of each unfair moment step back into yourself with more wisdom, more clarity, and more peace.
