Life is a series of problems

The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you -- depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring. Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:

1) God uses problems to DIRECT you. Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention?

2) God uses problems to INSPECT you. People are like tea bags . . . If you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has God ever tested your faith with a problem? What do problems reveal about you?

3) God uses problems to CORRECT you. Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents cold you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something... Health, money, a relationship . . . By losing it.

4) God uses problems to PROTECT you. A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem -- but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management's actions were eventually discovered.

5) God uses problems to PERFECT you. Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things you're going to take with you into eternity.

Great job Touchy!!

the best thing about this lesson is that it tells us NOT TO REACT to PROBLEMS but
TO RESPOND to them..

Thanks a lot for sharing this!!

Nice post..
Yes.It is very true that problem makes you strong ..gives you more strength to solve problems in life...
They needed in way of life...
As life is learning process...we learn new things from moment to momnet......
But what is solution who lost faith in themselves??who lost strength??hope??
who needed helping hand to know them their strength.....
Because all strength is life...and all weakness in death.

Yes.You are right....Isha..
Strength,hope ,faith come from within........

Have you heard the story of Great Walmiki...who was killer...he dont know his strength...but Narayana..showed him his way.....and he written beautiful Ramayana.....
Many many such stories you find.......in modern days too....
All are not born strong...sometimes..we as human need to do the job....
Sometime we need to accept insult too....nothing will come easily.......
all this i think.....what do you think Isha?? and all readers?

Yes..you are right.....
We dont need to inspire all....
If few will live their life happily...doing great things in life....
then our job is done....move ahead.....see new experiences in life....
we also make mistake many times....sometimes other shows us....sometime...we find ourselves......

All power...strength is within us...we can do any thing and everything...
be bold, be strong...take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders.....dont think that you are weak....feel that you are strong....you are born to win....make your destiny..you are the creator of your destiny....make one idea....think of that idea...be that idea your life...follow that ideal.....march on it..live on it........you will definitely succeed.......

dont you think these words of swamiji....inspire us?

...thanks Isha..
You dont need inspiration isha...You need to inspire others...
we inspire by thought of someone.....no matter what face he/she is.....

I think we make our Destiny........

Life is not pre-destined...so cant be predefined......

And hey....tell me you wrote tears came in your eyes.....
why???

It is true according to Bhagwatgeeta.....
Life is pre-destined....
Krishna knows....all about karana....about his death too....
You have any personal experience on it??
can you share any such...or other....
so that i get more from you on....life and destiny.....
just for sharing..............to all..

great thinking....you have..keep the same..
and keep posting and sharing.....
I glad to read you read Geeta....

Jogi tako janiye......Jo Geeta ko janiye....
