Problems As Puzzles

= Problems As Puzzles =

…You are the child of the universe,
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
And
Whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should…

– From Desiderata by Max Hermann –

Faced with problems
Many go hiding. They duck. They complain.
In contrast,
As a student of life
You know that
Each puzzle has in itself the mysteries of this universe.
And
Problems are puzzles waiting to be solved.
So,
Be curious
Learn
When things do not go as planned
Take a deep breath
Collect your thoughts
Regroup your energies
Say:
“Life, here I am, throw your challenges at me!”
