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.
