Face Your Problems

Problems...We all have them. We all want to get rid of them. Many of us complain about our problems; internally in our minds and externally to the world around us. Some keep their problems to themselves and let them eat away from the inside out...Nevertheless, all of us, at one point or another, need to face our problems.

When we step into the Colosseum against these problems, we can show up weak with an unfocused mind. We can look away, we can run, we can try to hide. But, eventually these problems will find us and begin to destroy our happiness and way of life piece by piece. They will grow and become more powerful and intimating the longer we fail to face them.

Or...when we step into the arena, we can show up in short time; armored with a determined mind and hardened soul. We can look these problems straight on with a confident smirk on our faces! We can run toward with courage in our hearts! And we can devise a battle plan to overcome and defeat these problems.

Dealing with our problems is what ultimately what makes us grow. A person with zero problems does not exist. What exists are people who fought and continue to fight the never ending conflict against problems. And they are so battle hardened from their victories that they appear to have no problems at all. But they do. And they are always ready to face them. The difference is battle experience!

There is no saying that we have to face all of these problems alone. Talk over these problems with the ones you trust. Others may guide you using their gained wisdom and experience. Take what you can learn from them and make the plan your own. It is you who must take up the sword and fight the problems. No one is going to do it for you.

When we overcome and eliminate problems, we gain courage, decisiveness, and determination. We experience a growth of mind, body, and soul. And overall, we just feel accomplished! Always remember, we are all a work-in-progress. Getting better day by day. Stay on the path. There is INFINITE wisdom and experience to be gained from the world around us. When a problem stands in your way...Face it, and destroy it!
