BE THE PROBLEM'S FIRST LASH

  Its normal and usual to have people talk and say problems are spring to come about in our daily lives. If a problem is a doubtful and difficult matter requiring a solution and you are confronted with such, what must you do? The first resolution that has to mount up in your mind is to start working towards it rather than sitting down to hail embrace of it. Telling people about your problem which from my personal examination have seen to be the tradition among people to be the first approach to an issue or matter is totally wide of the mark. No one will like to lend a hand someone who has not on track helping him/her self. I’ve heard it said that, “problem shared is half solved”. But I think that diction should come into place after you’ve already tried your hands on the problem. Give it a lash when you are faced with one. When it emerges, don’t say ‘why me’ but rather say ‘try me’. Help yourself with verdict solutions anytime a problem befalls you, bring it under your control and stop bothering others with them. Mind you we all have problems. 

2 Corinthians 4:17 

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

                  First of all, as a mortal beings you should be ready and be on alert to face any life problem or challenges. Alfred A. Montapert pointed out that ‘Expert problems and chew them as breakfast”. Problems should be a drive in our lives. We cannot solve a problem with the same thinking we used when we created them. Intellectuals solve problems rather than shifting it on other’s shoulders. If you have a hammer, you will tend to see every problem as a nail. Just expert and make provisions for them in case they germinate, it can be taken care of. You should know that your problems are your own so if you have a positive attitude and constantly giving in your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find out you are ready for greater challenges.We must persevere in the faith even in the midst of crises with the hope that it is but for a moment,here on earth.Until we die ,we will never stop having problems so we must understand this:our problems are meant to make us and not to break us.

                  I believe very well we are all masters to problem solving and not shifters. If you learn to deal with problems by doing, every problem being it large or small will be a drive. You have to be the master chess player. There are no differences between large and small problems besides and for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same. You have to direct your anger towards problems and not people and un-beneficiary happenings. You have to confront them courageously. Be the first lash to a problem and not an announcer. I’m not saying letting people know the difficulties you are facing is wrong or bad but try your hands on it first before others do.

                  Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don’t have any problems, you don’t have any seed according to Norman Vincent Peale. Sometimes, problems emerge for us to have resolution tools for it. The game of life is just like football. You have to tackle your problems and be a winner. You have to make problems so interesting and their dealings so constructive that everyone gets to deal with them. It’s a big mistake when you think you can’t solve a problem. We all have problems in our homes, churches and work places. Avoid problems and you will never be the one who overcame them. Believe in hard work and personal initiative. Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain forever. We are only active when we have problems. Remember that you would be remembered by the problem you created and solved. Be a man and a woman, a girl and a boy of problem solving and not problem shifters. All the best!!!!!!!!!!
