The Art of Problem-Solving: Embracing Challenges with a Calm Mind.

They say, there is no problem without a solution, and there is no solution without a problem. Your ability to think of a solution whenever there is a problem really shows how strong and determined you are, and more so, your thinking ability. Most of the time, we get bothered about getting a solution when we face any problem because we do not have an idea of what the solutions can be, and this will keep disturbing our brains whereas the solution to that problem is right beside us. But before we get that simple solution to it, it will take us some time, or even less, depending on how fast we get to work our way around the problem.

Have you ever been in a position where you have a problem, and you notice it without even thinking about it? Your brain will automatically be processing how to solve the problem for you, which will result in you stressing out your brain. I have been in this position many times, and I try so hard not to even think about it again because I always have this belief that if the past people had done it and they were successful, then I don't think there is any problem that has no solution. The way we tackle it is just different and matters a lot.

Whenever we think of getting a solution to a problem without seating and going with the way the problem has come, our brain won't be able to rest during that period until we solve that problem. Even when we think we are sleeping, that sleep won't really be a normal sleep because our brains are not resting during that period. Only your boat will rest and you will find out that it will be so hard for you to sleep in peace. That is why I would not advise anyone to place a problem too much on their mind because your mind and brain process things so fast that you won't be able to control them at some point.

This happened to me recently. I got a call from my friend in school telling me about the amount we are to spend on a final year project in school. Originally, we were told to get a total of 200 thousand naira. This morning, when I woke up, I got another text from her saying we would need to budget 250 thousand in total. Seeing this very early this morning made me so weak because I had no place to get the first 200 thousand naira They said talk more about getting 250 thousand naira.

But at some point, I was confirming to myself that I could do it because I did not want to think too much about what would happen. Surely, when you get to some point and you get a problem bigger than you, one will surely get weary first because you were not expecting it, and after some time, you gather your momentum together and you start the race and you see that it will be so easy after you must have gotten a way through.

My advice to us all today is that, whenever we face a problem in life, we should not panic because life will surely want to show the hard side, and our ability to stand strong determines how easily, or quickly we will be able to get our way around every problem. Problems are surely bound to happen, and solutions are meant to be created for every problem. That is part of the reason we are humans, to solve problems, and we have been given that key.
