The Problems That Was

Written by Mike Gallego

As I was reviewing my old blog entries, I noticed that I am a lot different now. Oh well, time changes everything. Before, almost all of my posts are about the happenings in my school and my friends. Then I started writing sad and disturbing stories when I and a friend had a misunderstanding. I realized how emotion could affect the actions of an individual. They are just evidences that it can not always be alright to entertain your feelings and your emotions especially when you are distant and very much preoccupied with so many troubles.

The problems I had encountered previously are separation of my parents, best ex-friend accusing me of something, friends talking at my back, negative concerns about me, being pressured of some competitions in school, coping with my lessons, and all that. I encountered and tried to face all of them simultaneously. Seriously, I did not succeed and it got me into more difficult situations.

I hope that when you bump into the same situation as I had, or when you feel you are buried under so many problems, you will not do the same.

Problems are inevitable and they are already a part of our lives. All of us, in fact, do encounter them on a daily basis. We must get used to the fact that they will always come and learn to welcome them.

Most of us think that problems come to harm us. No! Problems are actually a signal of our need to change. Usually, they happen to inspire us to change, and make things work better for ourselves and for others. By any standards, our purpose here on earth is to improve ourselves to the best of our abilities. It doesn’t matter how difficult things are. As every opportunity or situation comes our way, think that you always have an option to work on it in the best way you can.

Allow yourself to have a rest. You need that. Most of the time, even if we do not perceive it, being constantly moving, thinking, and so on gives us a feeling of being hot and bothered, upset, and distressed. Solve your problems one step at a time. You are not same as God to solve everything in a snap. Consider that you have a lot of problems; you are weak, and less powerful than you normally are. Do not hurry. Focus on one of your problems first; only after you unravel one you can go on to another. Love yourself, treat yourself, and don’t you even think about ending your life. Do not be so hard on yourself; if you can ignore your problems, do so. Not all problems are worth to be thought about. Pray to God; allow Him to help you and work on your problems. He is incontestably smarter, greater and more powerful than you. Always remember that if God is for us, no one can be against us; there is nothing that can defeat God’s purpose for us, if we maintain our faith in Him.

Do not let problems consume your spirit. Accept the existing reality and make the best of it. Stay positive in spite of the negativity around you. The perception you have of your problems is the key.
