Problems are Roots !

I decided to dedicate this month to PROBLEMS and I want to convey the important message that problems are not a problem  at all.  They are our Support & Help.

Let's compare problems to the root of a tree.  Life is a tree, which has leaves, branches, flowers, fruits and most importantly  ROOTS.  Can the tree exist WITHOUT the root?  Definitely NOT!

Just like the roots hold the tree to the soil and the earth, problems give us the foundation of  existence.  Without problems,  there would be no direction, no experience, no courage, no strength, no patience no endurance.  Everything ensues from problems. 

The tree faces all weather and seasons, from scorching heat to heavy snow, and nonetheless stands its ground and does not collapse.  Even when very strong winds can bring the tree down  but the roots remain and it can grow back.

Just like the root keeps the tree alive under all conditions,  problems are not deadly, but our saviors.

You have a problem? So do I !

Problems come in all shapes, sizes, colors, anywhere, everywhere, anytime, every time, all along etc.  In fact, life is all about problems.  Nothing else!

Guess what!  We are so focused and haunted by the problems.  It can just surface from nowhere, everywhere.  So, what can we do?

Nothing!  Nothing can be done about it.  Just keep solving the problems and wait for more.

But on the brighter side, have we realized that just like life is full of problems, it is also abounding with solutions.  Problems and solutions goes ✋ in ✋.  They thrive together and make life much more interesting and easier.

Every problem solved is a step to achievement, satisfaction and success.  Think about it, if there was no problem will there be a word called solution or achievement or SUCCESS.

Problems does not lead us NOWHERE.  It leads us SOMEWHERE.

Problems add meaning and purpose to life.  It empowers us with experience that is found nowhere in the absence of problem.

Problem is a gift.  It unwraps many discoveries, knowledge, inventions, maturity, wisdom etc.

Problem does not come alone.  It comes in a bunch.  Every problem is a bud to a beautiful blossom.  Just like a bud is a beginning to a beautiful flower, a problem is a beginning of achievement.

Every problem is a direction to the road of VICTORY.  Enjoy your problems, welcome them, embrace them, hug them tight and squeeze the solution buried in it.

Problems will go if we stand our ground and don't try to dodge it.  Face it whole and square.  It's there to teach us to reach out for the endless promises that life has stored for us.
