JJust after waking up, remain lying in bed. Then start listing the problems you may face in the day. You prefer go to on sleeping rather than getting up and starting your day business because you will have a very long list of problems. When is there no problem? First, it is a problem to come out from the warm bed. The jobs you have to perform through out the day are all problematic. From the very first word you utter in the morning to the last word of the day; the word ‘problem’ is the most uttered, used and pronounced one. You are not alone, there are many who do the same. You find relief in hearing the series of stories of the problems of other people. Then there will be story-telling seminar between/among the people. Every one feels relaxed, light and gets satisfied while hearing and sharing the stories of problems. We normally feel light when we share the stories of problem with others. The feeling of light is just like the feeling of warmth you get pouring hot water on your own body. Is it the solution to your problem?
The reality is that we are deceived that we are having the felling of relaxation, when we give talk about obstacles, difficulties, scarcity and unavoidability. How can we overcome the unfavorable condition just wrapping even a little uneasy situation with the shawl of problem? This is the reason why we rush towards the hospital of solution being suffered from tension and anxiety. When we are not able to find solutions to our problems frustration steps in. The frustration pushes the level of hunger, thirst, sleep, happiness, fun and many other life giving forces very far from us. Thus, there occurs draught of such life giving and nurturing forces in the life. This is the result of ‘problem’, we love to speak more.
The word problem cannot be defined in a single word. However, we are using the word ‘problem’ to refer the situation we find unfavorable. We never think of managing the unfavorable situation in a fruitful way but prefer to dive ourselves into the ocean of anxiety. How can we stand on the ground of favorable condition in this way? Therefore, ‘problem’ is not the problem but it is the outcome of our failure we get due to the lack of our capacity to manage the unfavorable condition.
We can transform the pain, frustration and anxiety into an opportunity for success without bearing any cost. For this one must change one’s mind attitude and thinking. The problem is not the problem it is chance, opportunity and time. You may not believe on how ‘problem’ can be ‘opportunity’ and ‘time’. Change your way of thinking, way of observation, way of perception and your attitude and then apply this in your own life. You will see a miracle; you will be waiting for the “problem” to welcome it.
A very small example can make it clear. Let us imagine that your right hand is fractured and you can do nothing with this hand. As a habit we say we have a problem. You have a problem with eating and doing daily activities. Now you will be disappointed being unable to work as you could and used to do. If you are like the average person this problem gives you pain more in your heart and in mind than in your hand. You will be thinking about what loss you have to bear due to this problem. The more you penetrate into the loss and problem, the more you find you are going to be ruined. The fractured hand may be back in condition within a few months but the sadness, discontent, dissatisfaction; you get during the period of recovery, changes into cancer for your courage, strength, wishes and so on. This results in frustration and when it is continued it can change one’s way of thinking that one can do nothing in the life. Thus, a small fracture that can be well within 2/3 months can make the precious life handicapped forever.
The same condition can be observed and understood from another angle. The hand is fractured and it’s bad, no doubt. An unwanted and unexpected incident happened. If you swim in the pond of worry every time in the condition, can you regain the past happiness? Definitely, you will not be able to work as before, you have to face some difficulties, you get pain and your daily routine can be disturbed. You will never get well and get rid or the difficulty if you blame your luck and live with the stick of misfortune. In addition to the treatment in hospital you have to think over about ‘what you can do something different’ when you can not do the regular activities. You may not be able to eat, write, and do other daily activities with your broken hand. Is there anything you can do in this condition? This is what you have to think and find out.
Loosing an opportunity does not mean that all other opportunities are closed. The best way to live happily in the condition of difficulty is to look for the alternative opportunity. When you can not work with your right hand you can always try with your left hand. It can be a great opportunity for you to practice working with the other hand. This is how the new opportunities, chances and alternatives can be found. Once you find the new alternative, chance, or opportunity you feel delighted and forget the pain. The so-called misfortune can be turn into blessing.
