Problems as Challenges. How To Work Around It

Okay, you have been living your life the best you know how to, you have been putting in so much to stay out of problems, but this week just doesn’t seem to be free of problems, there are and there will be times like this.

If you are afraid of encountering problems, then you will not progress. So far as you are moving, it is unavoidable that you will step on someone’s toe or kick a stone.

For the past two weeks this seemed to be my dilemma. In the first, I was paying a fee online using a friend’s debit card when I was heavily overcharged, now that is a problem to solve, or risk my friend thinking I intentionally took the cash.

Still in the same week, I had to make another online transaction, although I was afraid something might go wrong again, I decided to take the risk, and so the organization debited me without certifying if the transaction was successful, another problem to solve. And still that same week, I lost a phone with two sim cards. Enough problems to get busy with.

Life is crowned with many of such situations and many others which are more serious. But should you panic or refuse to take risk? No.

In my own experience, I have learnt to see problems as challenges, a test and a training. Seeing problems in these light will build in you the courage you need to follow them.

Problems or tough times are not there to destroy you, there are meant to prepare you for the next stage in life. You become greater whenever you successfully deal with your challenges.

Never be afraid to start afresh if you have to. Follow the problem step after step. Conquering a problem makes you a greater version of you, unafraid and ready.

Never let worry take over. There are only two things involve whenever a problem shows up, you could win or you could loss, but on either sides you will benefit better. Strategize and also plan for failure.

Never blame yourself. Its natural, everybody has a problem to deal with. In fact, without problems life could’ve been boring. They come to keep you awake and aware, get busy solving them.

There are people who creates problem for themselves whenever there seems to be none, why? Problems makes you feel like you are still in the game.

Have you ever seen a player in the field that wouldn’t like the ball to be passed to him? When you want the

ball, you are looking for problem and until you see it as a challenge, you might not be willing to tackle it.

Write you problems down, take some minutes to strategize on how to solve it. Make backup plans alongside the main plan, in case there is a fault.

Take them down one after the other, beginning with the most urgent.

Finally, problems are not there to destroy you, but to challenge you to becoming better. You’ve got to know that everyone has a problem just that many choose not to talk about theirs. Enjoy the game, don’t let the tackle scare you.
