DARK MOMENTS COME AND GO

Sir,

Problems, trials and temptations in life are everywhere. They are no respecter of persons, time or places. Life is usually a combination of good and bad days, strength and weakness, victory and defeat. It is important to realise that the road to destiny passes through many valleys and sometimes goes up mountains. Problems will keep popping up at different times, and with different intensity. When problems arise, some people rise higher and become greater, while others sink deeper into the depths of depression and hopelessness.

Survive

We all view trials in different ways. Those who usually survive storms of life perceive problems as indicators of change. It is important to realise that the greater the problem, the greater the victory. Usually the intensity of our trials is equivalent to the importance of our future assignments in life. Your tomorrow can be sabotaged by the decision you make in the heat of the present trials. Every trial is designed to impact us for our future. Every decision we make today in the light of our problems will also help shape our future. Every level of life demands certain degrees of spiritual, emotional and mental stability. Problems are obstacles which frustrate us while we attempt to reach certain goals. It is how we react to these frustrations that is key to building muscles in us and qualify us for our next level in life.

Flexible

Problems are also lessons which teach us how to be flexible, determined and focused in life. Sometimes we need a situation to teach us something. Problems should not be ignored but analysed so as to understand the message in the problem and then given an appropriate response, because all problems are solvable. Every problem has an answer; just because we cannot see the answer now, does not necessarily mean there is no answer. A good attitude and clear perception are key ingredients in turning our problems into stepping stones. With every problem, trial, there is usually a hidden blessing. Certain things that we embraced and thought were valuable to our lives, all of a sudden could become valueless in the light of the present problems.
