Over here one more time, my dear writing, thinking and reading companions. This time we gather to talk about something that seems to be always present in our lives, but that most of the time are incredibly simple if we find the bright side of the matter.
Some times we can feel stalked, overwhelmed and even cornered by problems. It seems in some cases that there’s no way out of some situations when the reality is that what we think is a problem is just the exit from a course of action that could have led us to disaster.
Let’s see it this way. One day we meet someone. We date. We share time and end trusting that person. We let this individual get into our lives and hearts. All of a sudden, something happens, whatever the reasons and this person disappears emotionally (and physically in most cases); we start to feel sad. We’re down. We’re feel sick. We even get depressed. And why all of this? Because we’re not seeing the whole paint. We’re focused in the middle oh our own space and we ignore what is around us. Is like trying to drink a glass of water from the bottom. That way we will never find the top and the place to drink from.
In other occasions we’re walking towards a goal and out of nowhere obstacles start popping out in our way, delaying and even stalling us, changing our planned ETA (estimated time of arrival). But later, tends to happen that looking back and analyzing those facts, we realize that the obligated wait time led us to met people that today is very important in our lives and that we would have never crossed if those obstacle haven’t had delayed us.
In general terms, it’s true that we will never get in front of an obstacle without the tools to walk over it (no matter is we have them or have to learn something new). So, when we’re facing a problem, obstacle or whatever you may call it, don’t desperate and don’t hesitate, do not let frustration put you down and make you feel you can’t do it. All we have to do is discover the best way to get over it, some times you’ll have to flank it, some times you’ll have to jump it, maybe push it, break it, put it aside, step over it, lift it, dissolve or disintegrate it. Who knows what more?
The main point is that if we look into the situation and try to find a lot of points of view (POV), our chances to solve the problem ahead of us are better.
Points of view is all we need in order to know what to do. In most cases. Let’s see in every direction and from every direction, then and just then, let’s select our path. It should be the better one.
