Sometimes the hardest moment in our life is the easiest obstacle to handle if we will only combine our mind with self confident and strong belief. Giving labor advice is a part of my work here in Korea. Many times, people come to me not because they want to find solution to their problem, but because they want to know what will happen if they don't face or deal with the problem.
It is one of the most noticeable attitude of people in all walk of life. We find it more easier to run away and hide our whole life in fear of facing the same problem than deal with it and face the consequences of our decision. Now, try to reverse the situation. Face the problem instead of running away from it. Right now, right there where you are, face your fear and start dealing with the problem. Though there is fear inside, find out what causes this fear. Where it came from? Why are you so afraid of dealing with the problem? By doing these, you will slowly find yourself gaining more interest on finding solution until you overcome the fear. In effect, you will look at all the possibilities, focus on the way to overcome the problem. If you failed on your first try, keep looking for other options instead of wasting your time convincing yourself on the consequences of the problem. We focus on solution instead of problem.
In doing these, you will find strength in your inner self and amazingly find that other people's life are designed to help you overcome the hardship of life. If we consistently focus ourselves on finding solution instead of problem, we will gain a lot of self confidence in the future. The difference between ordinary people and heroes are - ordinary people runaway with problems because they are afraid of facing their fear. Heroes do what is needed to be done even though there is fear inside.
It is not the consequences and the actual failure that creates fear inside us. It is the way we think that create fear inside, it stop us from doing better things and from accomplishing our task. Changing our way of thinking will help us overcome the fear. Fear produce inaction. The fact that your brain is inside your head makes you its master. Control your fear by controlling your brain instead of you getting controlled by your fear and your brain. Choose the right command for your brain and it will follow the way you want it to.
Sometimes we avoid the trouble of doing things because of the pain it may create. We see the small amount of pain in facing it, but we missed the huge amount of benefits it may create if we will only face the situation no matter how hard it is…remember the saying, there's always a rainbow at the end of the rain.
Cory Aquino once told, don't be afraid of suffering. Our life were made depending on the trials and suffering we've faced in life. The more trials and failures you've been through, the more stronger and better person you become. As long as we learn from our mistake, we will always find a way to become better and gain more strength to battle and sway the tide. Bravery may not be everything, but having this would help us deal with every obstacles that may come our way.
Focus your mind and be positive in everything you do. Believe in yourself that no matter how hard the kind of problem is, there is always someone, something to be there to help you overcome the pain and hardship and go on with life. God created us to row the sea instead of being carried out by the roaring wave - He also created the wind to help us reached our destination in case our body becomes too tired of counter-flowing the tide.
