ASK MAULANA

According to psychological studies, every problem begins in the mind, and it is also in the mind where problems can be solved. So, it is like changing your intellectual gear. If you are able to change your intellectual gear, then you have found the method for facing the problems. Do you suggest that we should replace the word ‘problem’ with the word ‘challenge’ in our minds? Yes, certainly! All situations, both good and untoward, are like intellectual food. If you try to face these situations with a positive attitude, considering them as challenges, you will be helping yourself grow. You will be enhancing your creativity. You will be developing your personality along positive lines. One who adopts this course will surely emerge, sooner or later, as a well-developed personality, standing firm and tall, like a fully-grown tree. o Unfavourable Situation An Unfavourable situation, no matter what, is nothing but a new challenge. Try to meet that challenge and very soon you will find that it was truly a blessing in disguise for you. It was meant to provide you with a stepping stone to better things.
