Stop sign or guideline?


Today, on my Facebook page, I found this quote: "Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines." Ummm, interesting! Let's see.When you are faced with a problem, how do you feel? If you feel powerless and give in to victimism, you become a voluntary victim. If you live in a state of anxiety, you become a worrier. If you feel defeated, you become a self-created loser. In any case, you are depressed and believe that "destiny" is treating you unfairly. As a consequence, either you throw your hands up and surrender, or you try to find a solution without believing that you will find a suitable one. What about flipping the coin and looking at the other side? A problem might just be what you need to experience this very moment, and you are facing it because there is something for you to learn, to adjust, to change in yourself and, consequently, in your life.
