I love how this idea of failure could be used wisely. I believe we should say thanks to our problems. There is a German proverb "Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet."
There is an answer to your problems, your pressures,your trials and tears. Your highest mountain really can be cast into the sea.
- Your crises will pass
- Your pressures will ease
- Your trails will end
- Your tears will dry.
When it seems there is no end in sight, remember the story of an Eastern king who lived centuries ago. His life was filled with problems too numerous to list.
One morning he gathered his wise men together and asked,"Can you create a motto or phrase that will help me through my times of distress?"
He gave them rules for creation of motto : "It must be brief enough to inscribe on my golden ring. It must apply to every situation. It must work in good times and bad. It must be valid for every circumstance."
The wise men went away for more than a month. When they returned they presented the magic phrase to the king.
Here it is!"This, too,shall pass!"
Now that's a phrase to remember.
Whatever the crises, the fog will lift, the clouds will part, and you will see a rainbow.
Since you know that things are going to get better. Since you know the tide will turn. Why not smile through the darkest hour knowing who is going to win the conflict.
Problems? They are real and you know it :) Yet, you can say thanks because of the rich new dimension they add to your life.
The next time you are faced with an "insurmountable" hurdle, remember this:
PROBLEMS ARE YOURS FOR A PURPOSE.
DIFFICULTIES GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO DEVELOP.
NOTHING CAN STOP YOUR WILL TO WIN.
SOLVE THE PUZZLE ONE AT A TIME.
THE PROBLEM ITSELF MAYBE THE SOLUTION/
RELAX! THIS,TOO, SHALL PASS!
