Problems. Who needs them? However, they come with the gift of life on this earth. It's in the small invisible life print that gets larger as we grow and mature. We hear about problems growing up but don't pay much attention to it. Then, one day.... we see and get to experience some up close and personal and before you know it, your introduced to your specific problems. This is the process here on earth...
I'LL TAKE THIS PROBLEM ANY DAY
It reminds me of people who make enormous amounts of money and then with all the zeal and concern that they can muster complain how they have to pay taxes on it. Okay, I know of several billion people that would gladly take this problem on. Life guarantees nothing but it sure gives liberty, mystery, adventure and lots of opportunities for growth-mixing the good with the bad as you live it out.
NEW EXPERIENCE BRINGS GROWTH
I remember wanting to get educated and enrolling in college. It's fun and intriguing until you hit your first hoop (you have to jump through) or wall or obstacle and then you wonder...what did I get into? Well, life has cleverly disguised its lessons to be found everywhere when you get up in the morning and start to live out your day. Problems are just thrown in. But why?
LOSE THIS: poor me, I can't do this, evasive maneuvers, hiding out & coveting
RESISTANCE EQUALS GROWTH
Well, the answer can be compared to a person who wakes up and wants to be a champion at let's say bullfighting. What does that person expect to see? Bulls that like to fight and some are meaner than others. This makes the bullfighter look at themselves and either affirm or deny this choice. If you move forward, you will now get introduced to how bulls fight back when provoked. Bullfighting 101 is now here
GIVE ME MEAN BULLS
The meaner the bull, the better and well-rounded training you will get. Then, one day after doing this so many times and surviving it, wanting to be a MATADOR is introduced. It's doable, reward-able and the road to this profession prepared you for it. It is the mastery of the subject matter. Life is that way too. We get to sharpen, hone, fine tune and wield our talents, skills and abilities to see what we can do or cannot do and how well
WHY AM I HERE and WHO AM I?
It is from the living of life and taking on its challenges that one discovers their purpose, identity and what they are good at and excel and what they need to outsource. In martial arts, way before your first fight, you are in training of various sorts and then when you think you are ready to engage or compete, someone says...NO....We have to first learn the following:
FALL OR FAIL AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE...BUT GET UP AND COME BACK
How to fall and get up. If you cannot take the punch, the kick or the loss of balance, roll with it, get up and then assume a stance again, you will not make it out of the first round. Is life any different? Every parent wants to put off the discomfort of their little precious child having to learn something that may harm them. However, some things come with life pricing or the price to be paid by the learning of the lesson.
SPECIAL SECTION IF THE SHOE FITS:
Stop your whining, complaining, sedating of self via drugs, alcohol, excesses, doubts, hesitations, blaming, excuses, & expecting a hand-out in lieu of doing the work presented & waiting for you OR why are YOU here & what good are you? Deal with all the legitimate reasons & you will find this out: You can win!
FREE LESSONS THROWN IN
There are times I can learn from someone else and not have to pay the price. That's a gift in my book. Then there are times someone helps me out and that is a gift too. After all, didn't we all get to some point in our lives with the help of someone? Thank you
I am glad to report that I have all the problems of being alive.... Yes, and thank GOD for it too
