A new problem everyday.

PROBLEM NO DEY FINISH.

Life is like a giant cooking pot, and it is always cooking problems (challenges). Every new day comes with its own problems (challenges), and the more we want to achieve, the more problems (challenges) we face. The ability to surmount these problems (challenges), and find authentic solutions to them, is what differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful. If we must become successful in anything we do, we must be ready to become problems solvers.

Many are going through very tough situations in life, they wake up every day wishing their lives were less problematic, they hope for a day when they will be free from all the troubles and challenges they face, but they do not realise that problems (challenges) will never cease, and that those challenges are building them up for a better life. "Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors" they say. We must while going through the challenges of life, learn everything that life wants us to learn.

Every new stage of our lives will always require a better, more sophisticated, and upgraded version of us, so we must always make the best use of every opportunity we get, to learn how to be better persons for ourselves and our society. We can rise above our challenges, we can turn our obstacles to stepping stones, we can teach ourselves to become masters in problem solving, we can make the best use of ugly situations.

"Problem no dey finish" is a popular slang in Nigeria, which means "there is no end to problems." Having this knowledge that problems is an ever flowing phenomenon in life, we have to live one day at a time, learning, growing and going through life intentionally and with determination and courage. You cannot dwell for too long on a problem, if you can't find a solution to a particular problem, relax, take a break, seek help, and if you can't find help, move on to the next problem, but never stop finding solutions.
