Problems do come but never last long

There are times when we find ourselves in situations that are just deadlocked and we begin to say there could be no other solution to the problem and that it could lead to a dead end and the end of life. How many times have you being faced with a problem that has no leads, no options and no solutions leaving you worthless and vulnerable? Several times I guess.

How many times have you seen yourself saying that there could be no other solution to a problem – and that that problem leads to a dead end? How many times have you felt deadlocked knowing that the problem lying before you is one you cannot solve. No leads. No options. No solutions.

A life without hurdles is seen to be a lifeless one, but then, there are problems that may come our way and you think this is the end of the road because there is no way out of it. Most times, when we are confronted by problems or difficulties we tend to give up on it almost immediately and on everything but then problems must definitely come. If they do not, how do we learn from mistakes. Life is not a bed of roses. Life is a process where we keep learning. Difficulties are regarded as challenges for the brave and strong but seen as a problem for the weak. Every problem has a solution if you want it solved.

There are solutions to every problems all we need do is search and if we do not find any, the problem will definitely provide a solution in one way or the other. It is said that identifying a problem is good as solving it, half way. Some of us allow the problems as to weigh us down, forgetting that out of every problem, there is solution that comes along with it. When people are able to solve their problems effectively, it is not because of their intelligence or because they are more knowledgeable but because they have been able to identify the problem, and spot a potential solution to the problem.

Sometimes, it is not the solution but the clue that leads you to the actual solution. “Instead of solving problems, they way you believe it is better you are open to alternative solutions. Though the solution may not be appropriate or the best for the problem but at least, you might be making a headway,” says Mr. Patrick Anthony.

“Most solutions to problems lie where the problem is. Most times, we feel over burdened when obstacles come our way and they seem insurmountable, but the truth is that we always face problems in our lives when we give room and chance for the problem. When we stop seeing life as a problem then solutions become unnecessary.  Even if there really is a problem, it is not forever, for every problem has an expiry date no matter what,” says Franca Obi. On the other hand some people regard problems as a step to better opportunities. “Problems are good because without problems, there is no way one can grow in life. Problems are bound to happen posing challenges, but with the zeal and commitment, you can overcome such challenges likewise finding solutions to such problems. And to also get a good solution, one has to look at the whole thing form a different perspective and you will see that the solution just comes along with the problem,” says Abdul Adekunle.

There are many of us out there who feel that the whole world has come crumbling down on us because of the gravity of the problem we are facing. Though totally not ignoring the fact that there are overwhelming pressure that come with such situations as the situation seems hopeless and unconquerable, but then, the solution might just be staring you in the face if only you look closely and think wisely. There is no problem in the world without a solution, though it might take time and require a lot of patience, but then, nothing is impossible as all hope is never lost.
