Problems

"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem."
Theodore Rubin

We always have this wild idea that we should be able to get whatever we want quickly and easily. We are always looking for a way that we can get a free lunch. But there is no such thing. Everything comes at a price, and you just can't get something for nothing. Success comes with a price too. The price is problems, obstacles, and challenges to overcome.

You might say that success is our reward for dealing with problems. In order to grow, we must deal with problems and obstacles. We must find out something about ourselves and our capabilities that we didn't know before, and the only way to find out this is to do something you have never done before. And, we might even define a problem, obstacle, or challenge as simply something that we have never done before so we don't know how to do it correctly. The amount that you are afraid of something is dependant on how unfamiliar it is to you.

As we journey through life, we must learn to expect problems. Problems are not bad things. They are in fact put there for your own benefit, so that you can learn and grow from them, moving ever closer to success. Problems only trip up the person who isn't expecting them to be there and so is not prepared for them. Problems are not a problem unless you make them into one. They are actually put there to help you succeed. Welcome them with open arms.
