Live Up Your Problem

They say problem is the decorative parts for your life

They say a problem is the color of your life

That’s what most people say about problem

But do we really take those words seriously and by all so willing take the problems of our life as a coloring parts of life? Nah! I would call it bullshit. There’s nothing easy from having a problem in your life. That is the point of it, that made it called as problem. 

Some people try to ignore it in most of the time, some others mitigate it through some series of action, whether is postponing the comings, or transfer it to others at some cost. But only a few of them really dealing with it gently.

Whatever it is, along the way of the dealing process with problem, we always get into pressured. We tend to see some major problems of our lives as a big obstacle that foreclosure our life to goes on. That makes us become a cynic to think that we’re the one dealing with problems, sometimes even to think that we’re the most unfortunate one. Is it happening with me? YES. Most of the time. Me got so sensitive along the way, emotional and sometimes even stressful.

To others? I believe it is all the same. It’s just like one of the very basic instinct of being a human.

It was perfectly the kind of situation happened with me today. Being so cynical with the problem am currently having, emotional, and to think I am the one with such problem. Until a friend of mine crashed into me and sharing her own problem. A problem that thankfully not happened to me. A problem that if compared with mine is like times harder. And what do I think soon after she shared her problem? THANK GOD IT’S NOT ME. And silly me? Then I start to gave her some cliche advise like “there’s no problem that you cannot handle in this life”. Who am I to gave such advise when I cannot handle my own life.

But then I realize, some major part of the problem itself is about your perception onto it. We tend to see our problem as the hardest yet most important one in this life, while there is still others. And soon as we realize that there’s other with harder dealings in this life, we start to thank for the life and manage to handle this life better. The issue is then to realize there’s someone in this life lower than you, but at the same time there’s someone better. The basic equalization, that everyone is nothing.

And I think that is where the famous words such as “there’s no problem that you cannot handle in this life” applied, because as soon as you manage to get a clear view on it you will able to handle it. You just have to give a little life to it. However it’s the color of this life isn’t it, as what people says.

So, give a life to your problem and let it flow with your life. There’s no guarantee it’ll work so the problem get overcame, but at least your life will manage to adapt with it.
