Problems

In life, we face many problems... No one like them but the truth is everyone have them. I used to think that living a happy life with no problems or worries is the aim in life. However, as soon as I solve one problem, a new set of problem just appear right before me. Soon, it dawn on me that problems are part of life and it is impossible to avoid them or clear them all away. As long as you are breathing and living, problems will be there.

The crucial thing is not avoid them or to ignore them but to face them head on – with courage and wisdom.

Often when problems arise we tend to focus on why they have happened or who caused them. Doing these can easily get us caught up in the blame game or a victim mentality. A better way is to start saying, “Okay, we have this problem – what are we going to do about it? Focus your primary energy on solving the problem – for everyone’s benefit.

The issue in life is not whether you have problems or not but what you are doing about them. Problems can destroy us if we let them or they can be stepping stones to help us become stronger and better people. =)
