Dealing With Problems

"A man's character was completely formed by his environment and circumstances, and that placing a man under the proper physical, moral, and social influences from his earliest years... "

-Robert Owen

When I was a child, I kept on praying and wishing that I could get everything. My mom kept on telling me that it's not easy to have it all. There was only one thing I knew before, and that is to be happy.

Of course, all of us had gone through childhood. Where playing is the only thing we knew that time. There may be time we have experienced being tripped and fell into the ground, but our wounds will be healed by just a piece of band aid or cotton balls. That's life for me when I was a child.

No problems. At the same time, I don't have to worry about anything under the sun. But everything had changed. It seems that it's impossible to turn back to the time where problems are funny thing for me. It's like weather that changed over time.

Life is not really perfect, but you can choose if you want it to be perfect. It is not about how others define a perfect life. It is you who have the power to say and be contented in what you have as well as who you are right now.

On the other hand, I do believe on the principle of Robert Owen. You cannot blame anyone or even give him praise. What we are yesterday, today, and tomorrow are the result of what's happening in our society and by circumstances where we do not have control over it. Though we can't change our current condition we are encountering and at the same time, those problems. There are some things to remember in dealing with them.

1. SOLVE YOU PROBLEM. There's no other way in dealing with your problems than to solve it. On the other hand, you cannot solve a problem by doing another problem. At the same time, don't solve others' problem. Let them do it on their own.

2. DON'T OVER FOCUS. Some people stay with their problem. Thus, making them feel burdened. Don't allow yourself to spend more time thinking about it.

3. BE PATIENT. It may be sometimes hard to deal with some problems. It will come to pass.

4. PRAY. This is the best thing you can do. Ask God to lift you up. You can't solve it alone. Allow God to help you.

The hardest part of dealing with those is that, if the problem is YOU. I hope this entry will help you.
