6 Things To Do When Facing Any Problem
By Ronny Osorio
We all face problems in our life. How we face them is the important thing here. Some people are really good to solve problems while others have a harder time doing it.
Here I’m listing 6 things that you should take into consideration when you face your problems. Hopefully this will help someone who needs it.
1. Calm down, breathe and think clearly.
First things first. Calm down. I know that it’s easier to say it than to do it, but if you really want to find a solution to your problems then you need to clear your mind and calm down. Do not make a decision if you’re not calm because it will most likely be a wrong one.
2. Don’t try to solve your problems and other people’s problems at the same time.
If you have a problem and someone you know tells you that he or she has one too and needs your help, please help yourself before helping that person. I know it sounds very selfish, but no one gives what doesn’t have. If you are not calm then how can you ask someone to be calm? It would be very hypocrite from your side. If you solve your problem before trying to solve someone else’s one then you’ll be able to help that person in the best possible way because it will have your full complete attention.
3. Ask for advice from your family and your closest friends.
Don’t tell the whole world about your problems. Let’s face it, no one on Facebook or twitter gives a damn about your life. Many people don’t care if you’re sick or if you’re sad or even if you’re about to die. Everyone is focused on their own problems so please, don’t post your problems on Facebook, twitter, etc. Look for advice in our family. They love you and will give you the best solutions you could ask for.
4. Be patient.
Don’t rush things. I know that patience is one of the hardest virtues to get, but if you manage to be patient you’ll see how one by one your problems will be disappearing. If you start to get desperate then you’ll desperate people around you and they’ll start getting away from you.
5. Stay positive.
Everything is gonna be alright. At the end you’ll see that you were worrying so much about your problem and when you find the solution to it you’ll see that it was always in front of you and that it wasn’t so difficult after all. Good things happen when you’re positive and have a good attitude.
6. Once you find the answer you were looking for, give thanks.
Always give thanks to those people who supported you and helped you. Also if you believe in God (no matter how you call Him) say thanks to Him. Gratitude is a great value that people are slowly losing, but that we need to preserve. Never lose an opportunity to say thanks to someone.
