I was speaking to a friend today, he told me that he is trying to figure things out. He is facing personal and financial issues. As we spoke, he told me for many minutes of what he is facing. I waited and listened. At times the solution is found within the silence.
When he took a moment to breathe I relayed to him to always remember that his had a purpose before he had a problem. Too often people allow the problem to take their eyes off of their purpose. Instead, the problem should be the reminder that you are on the correct course of living your purpose. I felt led to remind him "Remember, do not be concerned about doing All THINGS. Instead, choose to do the things that you can WELL and rely upon those whom you have equipped to help with the rest."
You see, often times in life we focus on the problems we face. We place more focus on the situation than implementing a solution. In those times we feel overwhelmed. It is human, we have all done it.
In those times we must be reminded that to overcome what we perceive as a problem, we have to let go of the problem and attach ourselves instead to the discovering the answer and living that discovery.
A problem today will go. A new problem will arise tomorrow, but the gift is that we are present to be victorious over the trial.
Let Go. Attach to a positive action. Achieve!
