Problems, Problems, Problems.

Whenever the word problem is mentioned, people get stressed. The word itself has a negative connotation. But the biggest problem is that you cannot do anything about it.

You cannot divorce life from problems, it's just not possible. There will always be problems. But your problem isn't that you have problems in life, it's that you're not choosing the right problems.

And Yes, you can choose your problems!

Being poor is a problem, so is being rich. Having lots of free time is a problem, so is the lack of time. Having a girlfriend is a problem, well so is not having one. If your frame of mind is that you can run away from your problems then that in itself is a problem because all it does is it creates more.

So what can you do about it?

First, you have to accept the fact that there will always be problems. Acknowledge the existence of your problems and don't ignore them, don't try to run away from them.

Do that first. If you haven't done that then you might as well stop reading further because it's pointless.

To be better you have to be open to change and this is one of the changes that you will make in your life.

After you've done that, we move onto choice.

It's a gift to have the freedom to make your choices, most of human history is just about having the lack of freedom.

No one can take the ability to make a choice from you unless you let them, the power to make choices on your behalf lies in your hands and if you don't use it, fate will do the choosing for you.

Appreciate the freedom of having a choice and make better choices. Gratitude of choice and making better choices go hand in hand.

Choose better problems and solve them. You are capable of that as well. Solve better problems, bigger problems and more important problems. Don't live your life on autopilot.

If you ignore having to make a choice then someone else will do that for you. Then you will resent the person, the circumstances and everything else but more importantly yourself. That is a problem as well.

I'm telling you, you can't have a life without problems!

There is no way around it, you just have to bite the bullet, suck it up and be a big boy.

So when you face your next problem, don't stress, don't panic, breathe fully and slowly, calm down and have faith in yourself. You are capable of solving whatever you put your mind to.

You are one of the finest problem solvers in existence. We humans have solved countless excruciatingly difficult problems with a calm mind. Their blood runs within you. Give yourself some credit and just do it.

Alright, that's it for today.

See ya next time!

Bye.
