Problems Come along with Their Solutions

Problems Come along with Their Solutions 

It is a general experience of life that when problems come to us, their solutions also come along with. This is because problems are not caused to us by the Almighty to harass us or frighten us or punish us. The purpose of problems is to bring out those virtues and finer aspects in us which are still dormant and haven’t been awakened and to eliminate the undesirable traits from our personality.

We are never given a burden which we can’t bear. If you look back upon your life you will surely find that although you encountered many problems, still you could always find some solution or the other. It was rare that you got stuck to a problem for ever and couldn’t go beyond it. Knowing these truths and the benevolence of God behind allotting the problems to us we should never lose courage and get demoralized by problems. Rather we should face them with full confidence that we can definitely overcome them no matter how grave they are.

No Problem Is Permanent

We should also realize that no problem or difficulty confronting us is permanent. They all will pass. Nothing remains static in this world. Everything is in a state of constant flux and motion. Such is the law. Darkness is always followed by light. There can never remain the same condition always. Even the darkest days of your life will surely pass. This is inbuilt in the nature of life. Realizing this, a person should never become pessimistic and low in spirit in the face of problems.

Don’t run away from problems. Face them boldly. Running away is not a way to be free from them. They will stick to you more tightly if you try to evade them. Have a headlong collision with them and shatter them to pieces.

No Problem Is Greater Than You:

Remember there is no problem in the world which is greater than your strength and which can’t be solved. Everything can’t be accepted and handled with serenity. There is nothing which can be called a catastrophe. Hence you should treat the problems and control them like your servant and never allow them to become your master. All forces of nature and circumstances must bow down before a calm and serene mind. If we also remain connected to God and seek his help, solutions of our problems can be found much quicker. God is ever available to help us provided we ask for it and join our hands in his hands.

We Should Thank God Even During Problems and Difficulties:

You should also realize that compared to the comforts given to us by God, these problems are nothing. While enjoying comforts and luxuries of life, we are neither thanking God nor questioning why these luxuries have been given to us. But is pains and problems, we are so much perturbed. Is it not a fallacy? If we start doing the former, the hold of the latter will automatically reduce. In fact we should adopt thanks-giving attitude to God not only for the comforts and luxuries provided to us but also for the problems and difficulties because these are also meant for our ultimate good.

Problems and Limitations in Life

Problems are an Integral Part of Life

Problems are an integral part of life. They will never end. One problem goes, another comes. This is a natural cycle process in life. Life is designed like this that you will face certain problems and learn the needed lessons to grow further. This is not only with you, it is with everybody. Nobody is without problems.

It is very immature for someone to think or imagine that his life should be very comfortable and free of any problem. Take it for granted that there will always be ups and downs and unexpected things in life. You have to be prepared or anything. Such is the natural law of life. In fact if a person’s life is devoid of any problems or challenges, he may be bored to death. So, we should learn to live with problems gracefully. If we can learn to welcome problems, they will eventually loose their ‘Hold’ upon us and we will become their master instead of slave.

Problems Come to Teach Us Certain Lessons: They are for our ultimate Good

Regarding various problems, pains and discomforts which we face in life, try to develop the philosophy that these have not come to frighten us. Don’t view these problems as burdens coming to us suddenly out of nowhere. They have come to us as per certain law. There is nothing in this world which happens by chance or accident. There is a reason for everything which happens to you. You are bound by a great relationship of cause and effect. For every effect there is a cause and for every cause there is an effect.

In fact these pains and discomforts are the very things we need to strengthen us and grow wherever we are lacking. They are the trying times for us and instead of getting puzzled by them; we should stop for a while, do some self evaluation and introspection and learn the needed lessons from them. We can derive some benefit and lessons from every problem/difficulty of life and exploit it to our advantage. This is a wonderful law of life.

If we oppose these discomforts and accuse ourselves and others, we are simply invoking a new chain of cause and effect and making matter worse. Remember that everything which happens to us in life is for our good only. In the apparently looking cruel and adverse circumstances is hidden the infinite mercy of God which we can realize if we properly contemplate upon it.

In fact you should consider all problems as projects and new opportunities instead of hindrances. Tackle them as you work for a new project or new assignment step by step instead of treating them as something foreign or external to you. Sooner you accept them as a part and parcel of different phases of your life, the better it is as they will become your servants and helpers instead of trouble makers and then only you will be at peace with yourself.

As you learn many lessons of life, problems in your life will also be proportionately reduced and your life will be comparatively smoother as you see with some saintly persons.
