In life all problems have a solution. We are called only to work on the quality of solutions and to understand that unresolved states are inscribed largely in the imagination of the people. The solution of problems always has a rational origin. No "worried" person has a record of problems solved.
One of the most important causes of the anguish that many people feel is the powerlessness to solve some problem. This is a very frustrating situation, it completely destabilizes the emotional balance and progressively "kidnaps" the person and makes them a hostage.
Unresolved problems prevent any kind of concentration on usual tasks, steal precious and unrecoverable time. The focus disappears and the general development weakens. This situation makes us very vulnerable people, especially in the face of the successive setbacks that will arise. Because we must never forget that problems have a tireless routine: they never stop being and they never stop appearing. Unresolved problems are open doors for more problems.
However, we already know the good news: in life, all problems have a solution. And let's write this down, because it is not stated that all problems have ONE solution, it is affirmed that they all HAVE a solution. Efficiency in problem solving is, in this case, more valuable than effectiveness. Some solutions may have better or worse results than others, but there is no unresolved state. The quality of the solution is something else.
It can be said that there are solutions that only complicate the problem (the remedies that are worse than the disease), but even in these cases it is shown that there are solutions for each problem. Qualitatively it makes a lot of difference to understand that all problems have a solution (good or bad) to think that there are unsolvable problems. The first situation demands greater capacity, the second only generates impotence and frustration. There is a difference between doing wrong and being paralyzed.
The only unsolvable problems are generally inscribed in the imagination of the people. Man has that powerful capacity to visualize the future, to imagine it; anticipates states, calculates probabilities, measures hypothetical consequences. And at a given moment he is effectively living imaginary situations, even with a degree of realism higher than the factual. This phenomenon is a fantastic source of the question "and what if…?" (Americans call it "what if…?"), the same who is probably the greatest enemy who has peace of mind.
Visualizing hypothetical situations to the point of experiencing them in advance obviously also anticipates the presence of problems. And of course, these have no solution because they do not really exist.
Now, anticipating problems is correct because it is part of the work that must be done in the causal relationship that they have, but "anticipating" the Problem is something completely different. A Problem cannot be anticipated: a Problem is or is not.
Any confusion here can be very expensive. The far-sighted man is the one who anticipates problems, not the one who anticipates their presence.
People who live in the world of "what if…?" he makes a voluntary entry into purgatory: the universe of "maybe yes, maybe no". The group of people who live is so large that it forces the construction of this category. In it, if there are problems that cannot be solved, there are also paralyzed people.
The most effective way to avoid this destructive phenomenon is to always imagine the future in positive terms. This doesn't cost ANYTHING! It is preferable to err on the side of optimists and not find the desired results, than to make flesh out of imaginary problems that the future may hold. The positive visualization of the future also produces positive energies in the present, favorably alters the current states of mind: it strengthens them.
Another way of not unnecessarily anticipating problems is by adopting the attitude of "living each day with your own desire." It is only the specific moment that we are allowed to live, only in it do we effectively have dominion over our actions and direct influence over our circumstances, for this reason it is advisable to “open and close” the day we live in the same way that clarity does. It opens in the morning and the darkness closes it at night: let's give each day its own desire, nothing less, but above all nothing more. The show ends at the end of the day, the curtain MUST drop because, at the same time, the “show” MUST continue the following day.
Something else: Sleep is a powerful advisor. The solution to many problems takes shape while we sleep. Therefore, it is absurd that you deprive yourself of such a blessing because you sustain "problems that take away your sleep…". The relationship is reverse: it should not be the problems that take away the dream, it is rather the good sleep that helps to solve problems. That is why it is necessary to “open and close” appropriately every day; While the day is active, invest the most in each of our acts, extracting the "juice" of life, and then when the time comes, deactivate everything.
And if someone out there says that this is a sin of ease, innocence, or naivety, to show us what is gained by doing things differently? Where are they and who make up that gallery of notables who solved the most problems in their life while he slept less? Who among the concerned has the record of solved problems? Can you send us photographs of these illustrious people, medical certificates and handwritten letters from their family members?
Biblical counsel imperatively states: "Let not the sun go down on your anger," and we humbly allow ourselves the parallel to ask, "Let not the sun go down on your problems." If the day was intensely active and the Problem was not resolved, it will be resolved tomorrow. The indispensable Pause is not an irresponsible or indifferent tool, it is a powerful weapon in the hands of the intelligent. The "unofficial" people, those who by responsibility live at the rate dictated by their problems, are those who would have liked to build the Panama Canal with a pick and shovel in hand: to this day they would continue working. Smart people work solving their problems and achieving their goals on asphalt roads, in this task there are no effective "shortcuts".
Some notes on "worried" people: The dictionary says that Concern is: "restlessness, restlessness or fear caused by something."
And its synonyms are: "restlessness, uneasiness, anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, regret, discomfort, suspicion, insomnia, anguish, mania, neurosis…"
Imagine a "worried" person trying to solve their problems amid restlessness, fear, discomfort, discomfort, anguish, etc. This is almost absurd. However, the traditional understanding implies that a "worried" person is exactly the one who is paying the most attention to their problems: they are "pre-occupied" in their treatment.
Worry is not really a prelude to the problem solving process, worry is a consequence of poorly resolved problems. Nothing is won with worry, what's more, when that state is reached, the battle is practically lost.
And it is that with the problems in the facts a battle is fought, and although it is not always won, this is not a battle that is undertaken to lose. The battle-hardened man draws benefits from both victory and defeat but plays to win. The worried man has already been defeated before fighting, because even when he exceptionally manages to solve his problems well, he has lost calm, tranquility and peace. This weakens the spirit for the following confrontations and puts the definitive triumph in life at risk.
There will also be no shortage of people who claim that asking for imaginary problems and concerns to be avoided borders on ridiculous naivety. After all, life is not a cup of milk for anyone and these people will cry out for us to become aware of the "harsh" reality and to put our feet on the ground.
And what can you tell them? It also borders on the ridiculous that from here the existence of imaginary problems is advocated or people are called to be concerned. This is not a reasonable thing, because finally it is understandable that you have your feet on the ground but nothing forces you to have your head at foot level.
It's all about Quality of Life. This has to be the paradigm and some of us have to give as good everything that leads there. Understanding in this sense that all problems have a solution helps a lot, rationalizing it contributes incomparably to personal growth.
There is no margin for error or risk when affirming: IF THERE IS NO SOLUTION, THERE IS NO PROBLEM!
Let's remember this every day because it will wonderfully increase our Faith in victory. And we have been well told by a superior Wisdom that Faith moves mountains….
