Problems Serve a Purpose

When was the last time you didn't have one single problem?  Was it... never?

Problems are a part of life.  In fact, we're supposed to have problems.  Yep, you read that right.  Big problems, little problems -- they're there for a reason.  Just like a car needs an engine, we need problems because they help us get from "here" to "there."  Problems help us grow.

Of course, the stubborn part of us that hates change doesn't want to move from here to there.  It likes here.  (And who can blame it because, let's be honest, change is scary!)  But the deepest, wisest part of us knows that staying "here" means stagnation.  And stagnation equals a kind of death.



Problems, when utilized as a tool, promote growth.  Can growth be painful?  Sometimes.  But growth is also profoundly beneficial because it creates expansion.  Whether it's physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, growth is progress.  It's development, new awareness, and new life.  And it all starts with a problem.

So look your problem right in the eye and figure out what it's trying to tell you.  Your problem is your ally.  Let it show you the way to growth.
