I came to the realisation quite a few years ago that problems never end.

Just as you resolve one problem another appears and quite often the latest problem is as a result of fixing the first problem. 

The problems I had when I was younger felt significant at the time, no doubt, causing all levels of worry and anxiety. Today’s problems, through the effluxion of time reflect a different stage of life.  My financial, family, career and other interests have progressed or changed as life has moved on  through the years. Growing in maturity and through the getting of wisdom my problem solving skills are a lot more honed than they were 20 or 30 years ago, as is my capability to deal with greater problems. I guess I’m more balanced and accepting that stuff happens and always will – I don’t fight it as I did once.

Have you ever noticed how some people’s lives appear to be one calamity after another?  Is it just bad luck? Did they walk under a ladder? Maybe broke a mirror or something to do with a black cat or did they kiss a chinaman (can I still say that)?

Alternatively, have you ever thought “how is it that ‘So and So’ always seems to be on top of things – seemingly cruising along without a worry in the world”.

Well, our friend ‘So & So’ probably has just as many problems as our Mr Calamity. It’s just that ‘So and So’ expects problems to happen and accepts them as being part of life.

So like all repetitive actions, the more you do something, the easier it becomes. The more problems you solve, the better you become at dealing with them and the more you seem to progress. You become more valuable in a team, business environment or in mentoring others. You also develop the ability to remain less panic stricken, resilient and balanced in how you deal or manage the current problem before moving onto the next problem which is always going to be not far away.

As the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurilius said “The obstacle is the way” meaning that setbacks and problems are always expected and are never permanent. What impedes us, can empower us.

Wise words indeed.
