Overcome your own challenges

DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS

Life is full of challenges, some little, some overwhelming, but how we deal with those challenges determines how far we will go, and how fast we will grow, it will determine how happy we will be, and our peace of mind. When we face our challenges heads-on, deal with our fears, and summon the courage to push forward, we will be able to develop the right mindset to turn every obstacle into opportunities.

Sometimes, we don't even realise there is a problem. To solve a problem, we must accept its existence. Constantly denying the presence of a problem is an extension of its effect, but acceptance opens you up to the possibility of finding lasting and effective solutions. Desmond Tutu once said, “There is only one way to eat an elephant: one bite at a time.” You don't tackle one big problem at once, it is done bit by bit. Don't be in a rush to dismantle difficult challenges, take your time to break it down into pieces, and tackle it in bits.

You may not always have what it takes to solve a problem, you may not always be the best person to face certain challenges. Seek help when necessary, it saves you from unnecessary stress, and irrelevant processes. Not everything will be within your control, know when to ask for help. Avoiding problems only makes them grow, and procrastination breeds anxiety. Take the first step towards finding solutions to your problems, no matter how small. Action creates momentum, helps you reduce fear, and brings you closer to a solution.

Not every problem has a perfect solution. Some things are beyond your control, accepting that can free you from unnecessary stress. Focus on what you can change, and let go of what you can't. Problems are inevitable, but the suffering that comes with it is optional. When we face challenges with courage, patience, and a proactive mindset, you transform difficulties into strength, and challenges into opportunities.


To a better you, Kamikun John.
