Everybody has problems – all sorts of problems – health, work, relationship… Problems are part and parcel of life. It is through solving, and overcoming our problems that we grow – mentally and spiritually. It is how we learn and accumulate experiences.

Sometimes, our problems are a result of our own carelessness. Sometimes, they are caused by others around you. Or, it could be Life, or Nature that throws a spanner in the works creating a problem for you. However it is, when problems come, we have to deal with them. Problems are not going to go away on their own. You can ignore them. But, they will always be there, waiting for you to resolve them. It is better to deal with any problems that come your way and get it over with.

Face up to your problems with a positive attitude. Take it as a challenge. Don’t underestimate your ability to deal with problems. If it is a complicated problem, and you have trouble solving it, it helps to walk away from the problem for a while. Take some time out. The problem will still be there when you get back, but you will be in a better frame of mind and able to see more clearly where the problem lies. Some decisions actually improve when they are left to simmer for a while.

If you think a problem is more than you can manage, seek help. Talk to someone. Tell someone about the problem and see if they can help. They might not be able to help, but they might know someone who can. There is no shame in asking for help.

I am sure your friends talk to you about their problems. If you can help, by all means do help. That’s what friends are for. However, sometimes, they don’t really need your help. They just need a listening ear. They need to get it off their chest, so to speak. All you have to do is listen sympathetically.

Whatever you do, do not let other people’s problems become your problems. You have enough problems of your own. If there is one day when you don’t have a problem, be patient, the problems will surely come.

Most problems in the world could have been solved when it was small. So, where possible, nip the problem in the bud when it is still manageable before it escalates. Be done with what is troubling you so that you can enjoy your life.
