Do Not Get Mad Get A Solution!

We all go through periods of adversity and suffering. Some ofthem are mild and some are life changing. Problems are simply apart of life, and while we can't eliminate adversity, we canlearn how to cope with it. Obstacles do not have to be insurmountable roadblocks on thepathway to success or happiness. They are simply a part of life.Problems are generally an indication that we have something tolearn. When everything is going wrong and the world feels like it isfalling apart, anger is normally the first reaction. But this isthe worst thing we can do. Losing our temper will rarely achievethe desired result. More often than not, losing our temper does nothing more thanmake a bad situation worse.

The reality is that we don't reallylose our temper, it's more like we turn our temper loose. Whenever life acts, we respond, and these responses are seldomplanned. Reacting on impulse when things go wrong we tend to lashout at anything or anyone that has the misfortune of being close.This doesn't have to be the case. And our chance of resolving anissue is much greater if we keep from getting angry. While we may not be responsible for everything that happens tous, we are responsible for how we react. The mind is a very powerful tool, and if used properly, can be avery strong positive force in times of trouble. But in order forthe mind to be its most productive, it must first be calm.

The ability to choose our thoughts, to THINK what we want, iswhat gives us the power to determine our attitude and perspectivewhen approaching a problem. If we allow anger, despair and frustration to consume us, it'slike a runaway train gathering steam and threatening to derail.The FIRST thing to do is quit feeding the fire. As our initialanger passes, our perspective begins to change. Once our temper is under control, we begin attracting solutions,rather than allowing anger and frustration to compound ourproblems. All of us have an inner voice that talks to us. Pay closeattention to this voice because it has the power to make anysituation better or worse. This inner voice is the voice of our subconscious mind and willwork for or against us with equal ease. Once anger andfrustration are removed from the equation, the subconscious mindis free to help guide us toward a solution if we listen. Our subconscious mind is the ultimate information filter, but itwill provide its most useful solutions only when we are quiet.

The subconscious is an obedient and able servant once it knows which direction we want to go. Don't shy away from problems. Sometimes the best way to informthe subconscious mind that we need a creative solution is toexperience frustration in our conscious mind. By using the conscious mind to define and clarify the problem, weleave it to the subconscious mind to guide our actions in solvingit. When the subconscious is jogged by need, visualization orrelaxation, it will release back to the conscious mind necessaryand helpful information. Thoughts and emotions act as magnets attracting similar thoughtsand emotions. When we approach our problems with the right attitude and havethings in perspective, it will appear as though our problems begin to solve themselves.
