What's Your Problem?!

Problems, problems, problems – who has not faced them? I have, you have; the person whom you have a problem with also has! I often come across people exclaiming statements like “Why do I have all the problems in this world?”, “I’m in deep trouble!”, “Why me of all people?”, “You don’t understand my problem!”
The question is not “What’s your problem?”; the question is what you do with them!

I believe in the statement – “In every problem lies an opportunity”. I know you tend to think this is nonsense when you are really depressed and confused and cannot think of a solution. But trust me, Life gives you a problem so that you overcome one of your weaknesses or learn a valuable lesson or to prepare you for the future. All having the same meaning – Opportunity!
So the first and foremost thing you absolutely have to do with a problem is to change the way you think about it. Plastic surgery is very much necessary. Then look at it once again.

But before all this, I mean, before you feel you have a ‘Big’ problem, there’s something you can do. Consider this: Life always throws small stones at you to make you realize something. But you ignore them saying “How can these small stones affect me?!” Next, the stones come in a slightly larger size. This time you are a little hurt but you still ignore them because you feel they can’t put you down. They get larger next time and you still don’t decide to deal with them. You ignore them once again. Finally comes a day when Life decides to send ‘one big boulder’ your way! That’s when you end up saying statements I’ve quoted in the beginning.

If you can just recognize those small stones and start learning at that very moment, probably the big boulder would never come your way. It’s easily said than done. But it’s easier in life any day! If you cannot recognize those small stones, start observing yourself when you procrastinate anything. That’s a signal. Never postpone something, have a ‘Do it NOW!’ attitude always.
