I have some problems that I can not fix. Today, I want to elaborate on the word problem. Problem, as defined by Webster Dictionary is a question raised for inquiry, consideration, or solution. It also means a proposition in mathematics or physics stating something to be done. I like the second definition better myself considering it requires for something to be done. Notice, this definition does not mention the word neglect, rant, or any other negative emotion associated with problems We all have problems in life.

NOW, replace the word problem with challenge. If you run out of gas, you don’t have a problem. You have a challenge to find more gas. Most situations are not near as bad as we perceive them to be. The word problem has a negative connotation with it. I do not have any more problems in my life, I simply have challenges that I deal with everyday. Every challenge has a solution. The solution may take longer than you are WANTING, but there is an answer.

If you start thinking about solutions to your challenges, you will be much better off than always complaining about YOUR problems. If you think that you will always have problems, then you will. Your social circle has a HUGE effect on your method of thinking. If your friends whine often, then you probably complain frequently too. Every time you start to complain about something, just remember that it doesn’t help when you do this. It might make you feel better about the situation for a few minutes, but overall it doesn’t solve anything. Start facing your challenges today and you will be much better off!
