Are You Bigger Than Your Problem?

This is a question that majority of people tend to miss out. If your answer is YES, then the obvious is that you have the capabilty to subdue your problem. You know how to solve your problem. But the same problem could be a big problem to another person. I read an article on the local newspaper which talked about a man who struggled to pay his bills. It was a real example. Every month, without fail he would land himself into the same situation. His only question he had in his mind was, "Why do I have so many bills to pay?"

One day, a friend came to him and showed his concern. So the friend asked him, "Why are you feeling so down?" He explained by pulling out his drawer which was filled with unpaid bills. Without hesitating, his friend closed the drawer and then said, "You go out there and earn the money you need to pay these bills!"

Few years later, he no longer lead the same dreadful life. He has since own a successful business and more money than he could ever imagine.

See, in our life we can't avoid problems. We have problems in our career, financial, relationship, health and etc. Are we going to be overwhelmed by these problems?

I used to work in the operations & maintenance section of the engineering department of a local company. Sometimes working hour can stretched into the late evening. I ever skipped normal dinner time. Was that a problem? You bet! But I didn't want my life to continue in such manner. So, I had to find solution. So I built a part-time business using my spare time. I spent time growing my business to be successful. When it reached this stage, I tendered my resignation. Each of us has the same amount of time - 24 hours a day. It's up to you to decide how you are going to utilise your time.

Now here it is... To put it simply. If you are at level 2 and your problem is at level 4, you need to grow yourself to be at level 5 or higher. Then your problem will appear smaller than you. I hope you get this picture. Equip with the right attitude and skills to help you grow bigger than your problems. Don't procrastinate, blame others and justify. If you want it to happen badly, then by all means make it happen.
