NO PROBLEM? NO PROGRESS

"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem." — Theodore Rubin.
As odd as this might sound, "problems are blessings". Problems are eye openers. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. Show me a life without challenges and i will show you a worthless life. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties.     


 
Obstacles are there for a reason. Obstacles are not there to keep us out. Obstacles are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because obstacles are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people. Challenges will come, bad times will come  but your perspective about these times is what makes the difference. Instead of being a victim of this or that, instead of getting mired in the problem, get inspired by the possibilities. Take a healthy dose of determination from the problem, then leave it far behind.

As children of God, "problems are never irrelevant' . God really does have a purpose behind our problems.God does not look upon trouble as we do. Where we see stress he sees opportunities. Where we see crisis, He sees growth and betterment. God's purpose in times of crisis and trouble is to teach His children precious lessons. They are intended to educate, and build us up. And when we learn from them and ride out these storms of life, we will see the great promise fulfilled. His glorious recompense will come to us throughout eternity. We need to see the joy and opportunities through times of problems. Because we will learn that there is a sweet and wonderful joy we can have here too. We do not have to wait until Heaven. We can learn to make our life joy filled by seizing the crisis and growing from it. To become the person that we are capable of being for our benefit and His glory. So when God tests you, or bad stuff happens, we need to see it as a time for you to learn and to trust Him by changing what is wrong with you while putting His promises in your heart and feet. And when it is over we can look back and see that our trials have been necessary. We are better, He is glorified!.
