Problems in life often give us the opportunity to pause and look at the bigger picture.
Some problems save us from bigger troubles.
Some problems are like cancer. The only solution to it is complete removal. Practice detachment to get rid of them. Such problems trouble us due to attachment.
The majority of our problems are due to wrong thoughts. Get our thoughts correct and problems will disappear.
Problems are not gifts. We invent them or invite them into our lives. Then cry for help. So stop inventing problems and inviting them. Control over our desires will help in not inventing and inviting problems.
We are taught to believe that God gives us problems to test us. Nope, it is not so. Our ignorance and lack of understanding of Truth (God) create problems.
Desire, attachment and seeking permanence in the impermanent world are the only reasons for problems in life. Get rid of them and you will be always happy.
Stop seeking happiness in external things and people. Name, fame, honor, love, wealth, money, property ... cannot give you permanent happiness. This is the biggest ignorance of human beings. You should be in firm control of your happiness and this should be based on self realization not on men and material things.
This body too is not permanent. It will undergo changes. Accept it gracefully. Always be happy to go away.
