When you are down?

Few things I came to know in last couple of days

What do you do when you are down?

I usually fix the problem. But sometimes there are many external factors involved - mostly intangible. It is when things are not in your control that you have a tough time.

Distractions are one way to go. Play, watch a good movie, read a comics, spend time with friends etc. But once the distraction stops, it seems like the earlier thoughts come back with vengeance.

Talking yourself into a frame of mind is another. You know, things like: "It will be alright", "It is for the better", "This too shall pass", "Tomorrow, something will happen and it will be like this problem never even existed" etc.

Acceptance, may be? But that needs the maturity of a saint. If you had that attitude, the problem would have never seemed like a problem in the first place, right?

Counting your blessings. This seems pretty lame-ass to me right now.

What do YOU do anyway?

    Life is all about challenges in the form of what we call problems. They are not there for you to solve (at all times) but they are there in your life for a purpose. God exactly knows what your strengths and weaknesses are and gives you problems that eventually makes you stronger at most times. So when the solution of a problem is not in your hands and you know it, then, you can just sit back and give all your burdens to God and He will sustain it. You need not be a saint to understand this, all you need is a little faith. I guess all this may sound a little philosophical/spiritual of what a problem is and how you face it, but its fact.

    At the end of the day what matters is the big picture. Its funny to think... When you are at the beginning of a process, you are noticed and also when the end result is released, you are noticed again (may it be successful or not)...But the "in between" is always where you go through the refining process which remains unknown.

    So all for good, my boy....just relax and start looking at problems and say "I am ready to learn"...
