WHEN YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
A humorous story tells abuout a speeding motorist
who was caught by radar from
a police helicopter in the sky.
An officer pulled him over
and began to issue a traffic ticket.
"How did you know I was speeding?"
the frustrated driver asked.
The police officer pointed somberly toward the sky.
"You mean,"
asked the motorist,
"that even He is against me?"
It's like the man who said,
"It feels like the whole world is against me...
but I know that's not true.
Some of the smaller countries are neutral."
When we have a problem,
it can often feel as if everything
in our life is going wrong.
We may tend to think that everybody is upset,
that nobody cares or that
everything is falling apart.
To think more clearly
and to solve your problems more effectively,
try letting go of these destructive beliefs:
* Let go of the idea that your problem is permanent.
Few troubles last forever.
And those that cannot be solved
can usually be managed.
* Let go of the idea that your problem is pervasive.
Few problems affect every area of your life.
* Let go of the idea that your problem is personal.
There is nothing wrong with you
because you have a problem.
All capable, lovable and successful people
have plenty of problems.
Remember, worms cannot fall down.
But human beings can -- and will.
Let go of these destructive beliefs
and you may be amazed at how much
better you feel already!
