Dealing with problems in our lives

For us human beings, it is natural for us to encounter problems in our lives. Some people would handle problems seriously and some would just take it for granted. Some would just depend on others for advices and there are also people who are just happy-go-lucky. Well, all of us have different personalities. If I am the one being asked, I am a happy-go-lucky person. I don't handle problems really that serious. I am really not a serious type of person. Sometimes, I also listen to the advices of my parents. I am really open to my family when it comes to dealing with problems, whether heavy or light. Last time, I am really not open to my family about my problems especially when I lost something valuable and I can't tell them right away just like when my cellphone and my calculator were lost because I know that they would really be very angry and they would really scold me. But of course, it is my fault and I need to suffer the consequences. Yes, at that time, I am afraid that my parents would be very mad at me since these valuables are really expensive. But of course, we all commit mistakes. We are not perfect. We cannot be right all the time. We are not responsible all the time. But of course, next time, let's not be careless anymore.

I, also do a have several problems. Sometimes I fail in a particular thing and sometimes I want to give up but people say to me that I need to be optimistic and I should never give up. I also seek and listen to the advices of my family, my cousins and my friends. But sometimes, I realize that I am also very lucky because I don't have that kind of problem that other people are experiencing right now but of course, we have different problems and experiences. The best thing that you can do in dealing with problems, especially heavy ones, is to talk to God. Never forget to pray to Him and ask for his guidance because He is never tired of listening to your problems and your aspirations and prayers in life. Always remember that no matter what happens, aside from your family and friends, God is always there to guide you and support you in your problems, in your life all throughout.

Problems are obstacles in life. You need to be strong and you need to think well in order to solve your own problems. You must be optimistic too. Don't blame all your problems to the Lord for the Lord won't give you problems that you cannot take. Just like what other people say, problems are graces and it is a part of our life. But you can learn many things too when dealing with your problems. It teaches you patience and perseverance. That problems cannot be solve right away. If you fail in something that you do, don't give up. Try again until you succeed. Just like solving math problems, if you do not get the correct answer, try solving again. Who knows, after trying again, you can already come up with the correct answer. Let's relate this in our problems in life to try and try until you succeed. After all, if you fail in something, it is not yet the end of the world. You can still move on and enjoy the beauty of life. After all, "life is beautiful".
