Simple Thoughts

Have you ever encountered a problem and didn’t know how to deal with it? We all have at one time or another. Something right out of the blue hit us, and we were facing a situation that we had absolutely no idea of how to deal with it. So, how did we deal with it? Most times, we ran away from them, hid from them, and even tried to ignore them. Did they go away? Most times they didn’t.

I am a firm believer that every problem has a solution. We may not know the solution at the time the problem arises, but there is a solution.

So, how should we deal with problems we don’t know the solution to?

Before I tell you that, let me say one thing. I believe the earth has everything it needs to exist. In other words, if the earth doesn’t have it then the earth doesn’t need it. I am often tickled when I hear things like soon the earth will run out of oil or natural gas or something like that. I say “please!” If there is a problem with the earth’s resources or the lack thereof, the solution is nothing external. I mean if the earth runs out of oil, what planet will loan us more? If there is a problem within the earth, the solution is also there.
Think about this for a second. When a sickness attacks the body, it is normally not external medicines that cure us. No, contrary to popular belief, the medicines only allow us to maintain and tolerate the symptoms. It is our bodies and the components within that team together to cure or battle the ailments. Anytime external assistance comes and the components within the body are not functioning properly, the result is still the same- detrimental. The external components may help us last a little longer but usually the solution to every problem in the body, can be found within the body.
So it is with problems. If one takes a look into the problems they are facing, there normally lies the solution. You heard me correct. If you look, I mean really look, into most problems the solution is in the midst of them.
So, my question to you is what is the problem you are facing today? If you look inside the problem and pay close attention to the root, you may just find the solution you are looking for. Just think about if our society would use the same formula. How far do you think we will be as a nation or even as the world. What if the solution to poverty was right inside of poverty itself? What if the solution to divorce was locked up in divorce itself? What if the solution to obesity was right inside of obesity itself? And what if solution/cure for any disease could be found in the disease itself?

Versus running away from problems, I challenge you to look again. The solution is right there.
