A thought by John C Maxwell (2013-10-08) from his book, Sometimes You Win--Sometimes You Learn:Life's Greatest Lessons Are Gained from Our Losses (p. 150). Center Street.
Kindle Edition.
John continues, “They experience it the first time when they
worry about the problem. They experience it the second time when it actually
occurs. And they live it again as they keep reliving it!”
We all do that don’t we? We make the problem bigger than it may
be. We exaggerate it. John then said, “Do that and you may be
defeated before the problem ever occurs!”
Defeat never solves a problem. Action does and a realistic perspective does. Now you may need some help but running
from it is not the key.
Now over in the first chapter of James in the Bible, God says
that we can ask for wisdom. That doesn’t
come from worry. That comes from faith
in God and faith in yourself. Just ask
for wisdom and also ask for energized ability to find the solution. Just stop and ask and then think, think and
then do.
Yes, don’t underestimate or overestimate the problem but look
at it realistically and then tackle it.
Do away with the worry and the reliving and solve it.
So what problem are you facing today?
