How to Avoid Problems

One day, Norman Vincent Peale, one of the famous authors of positive thinking, received the visit of a person who told him, "Doctor, I have so many problems, I do not know how to face them. Give me a solution."

"If I understood you correctly, you would like to find a place where there are no problems."

"Yes that's it; I am ready to give everything I have for that."

"That's not necessary; I will take you to a place where there are no problems. To tell you truth there are 15,000 persons there who have no problems".

And he took him.... to the nearest cemetery.

Life is made of problems. And each problem brings each of us face to face with positive and negative aspects of life.

If you concentrate on the negative your life will be hell.

On the contrary if you learn to discover the opportunity that lies hidden in each problem, you will have a passionate and happy life.

The next time you face a problem, take time to examine it from all the angles and change your point of view till you see the positive side.
Remember, Dale Carnegie says, "Happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think."
