NOBODY SAID “LIFE WAS EASY!”
If you have a problem in
your life, in your love life or any other area then you really want to get rid
of it as quickly as possible.
I am certain that if I were to ask everyone I came into contact with today everyone of them would say the same thing, and yet everyone of them could potentially be wrong.
I am certain that if I were to ask everyone I came into contact with today everyone of them would say the same thing, and yet everyone of them could potentially be wrong.
In fact if we look back
through history quite the opposite perspective comes into view and that is as
follows
“instead of trying to banish
hardships, look at them more closely (through the eyes of a friend for
instance)”
The answers to all life’s
problems are actually contained (sometimes hidden) within them, Roman emperor
Marcus Aurelius summed up the situation very well when he said “What stands in
the way, becomes the way!”
We can break this concept
down into 3 steps
Find The
Courage!
Most of the problems and
setbacks are not caused by the problems themselves but from the desire we have
to try to persuade ourselves that the problems are not happening.
For example if your marriage
is “on the rocks” you will most probably find yourself under a huge amount of
personal pressure to not admit to yourself that it is happening. The reason why being that you will then need
to face taking some very scary action (either to end it or save it)
Similarly when if you have
money troubles it is all too easy to look away from the cash machine when it
shows up the size of your overdraft
If you look the truth straight
on then although it might be uncomfortable but in reality it is much easier to
take action and deal with the issue. I
speak from experience about this because I was there years ago and took the
path of avoidance rather than the path of action and I lost our first home
because of it.
Look More
Deeply!
You think that the situation
is clear – you are depressed and really want to feel better, you hate your job
and you want a new one or you want your parents to treat you more like a grown
up person.
There is a theory that
issues such as anxiety or depression are often messages from the subconscious,
indicators of things that might need to change in your life. However if you try to suppress such messages
and feelings you may miss the pointers to what needs to change in your life and
then you may never know.
Another option could be to
use the 5 Why’s method for example:-
Why am I always so angry? - Because I feel like people take me for
granted
Why do I feel they take me
for granted?
Follow this process until
you have asked the 5 Whys and you may well discover the solution.
Problems
Will Never Go Away.
There is a strange sort of
comfort with this realisation. Life
consists of problems
How do I find a worthwhile job?
How do I make this
relationship work?
How do I raise a child?
How do I deal with getting
older?
Once we reach a realisation
that we make things worse because we mistakenly feel that we should not
experience problems or difficulties, it will eventually dawn on us that a life
without setbacks would be a life without meaning or purpose!
And a life without purpose or meaning
would therefore be a very big problem!
