Solving Problems with Happiness

One of the best key to problem-solving is paradoxically: Happiness.

At the onset nobody is happy with a problem to be solved. Given a problem which is already there and staring at your face, you are not about to procure a magic wand from anywhere online or offline so that you can just make it vanish. 

Yes, you have already heard that life dishes out problems so that you can learn some valuable lessons and live to tell the tales like cats in the neighbourhood who have nine lives. 

Think of your problem as running a marathon where the objective (problem to be solved) is reaching the starting line and crossing the finishing line. If your car breaks down or you are down with flu, you won't even make it to the starting line.

Here is the thing: A marathon runner who has trained for the race for a length of time and appear unhappy at the starting line is an oxymoron. On the contrary and true to form, he would be raring to launch off and tear down the road.

Taking a leaf from our disciplined runner, why not make your problem a healthy problem and put on a smile that this too will come to pass? As you make the switch to the positive, your body will align with your thoughts and release newfound energy to get yourself ready at the  starting line. 

You will be amazed how this little adjustment makes you stronger for the road ahead and you begin to see yourself pounding the road progressively with every stride you make. 

It ain't easy, but you got started without having to deplete your energy to answer the question of 'Why does this problem has to hit me?' or negate your strength through complaining, moaning and groaning. 

Unmask your ability with a happy heart to find your happiness as you cross the finishing line and see that your problem is resolved in good time.

By the way, there are many fellow marathon runners out there; you are not alone. Problem is no respecter of any one nor does it discriminate anybody.

May you find many good times to share with us as you use Happiness as a vital key to resolve problems and challenges.
