Thought 44: Everyone is saddled with Problems


You are not the only one who has problems in life. Everyone has problems. There is no one in the world, no one at all, who is free from problems. The US president Barack Obama operating in his Oval office, the Pope operating in his Vatican office, the queen of England living in the magnificent Buckingham Palace, the Acharyas (Swamijis) of Maths in India (such as Kanchi Kaama Koti Peetham at Conjeevaram, etc), prime ministers, business tycoons, rich people, poor people and even beggars (homeless people) - everyone has problems.

Just imagine how dull and uninteresting life would be, if there were to be no problems at all. Problems add spice to life. Never run away from problems. If you do, they chase you. If you chase them, they run away.

The successful people are not intimidated by problems. They know that every problem has a solution. They also know of course that every solution has a problem too.! Therefore, they do not look for perfect solutions. They only look for optimal solutions.

A solved problem does not leave a vacuum behind. Another problem takes its place - instantly. Therefore, problems are something, which you would continue to encounter all through your life. So what is the point in getting stressed over problems? On the other hand, it is smart to learn to coexist peacefully with them – until you are able to solve them.

The next thought is about “Clean problems vs dirty problems”
