No,
it will not stop!...
...Because problems are
a natural part of life. Just as rain is the antipole of sunshine, so are problems
the antipole of happiness, luck and health.
No matter how feverishly you try to eliminate
all the problems in your life, you will never get rid of them completely!
Disappointed about this fact? I can understand. Because the Cosmos has an
inner twist, there is a very peculiar natural (and hidden) law at work in
our life. A lot of items that you try to get out of the way, as you dislike
them utmost, tend to come back like a yo-yo or a ball with an elastic.
A very simple example: suppose
that you heard on the radio the weather forecast for tomorrow: 'regularly
cold fronts cross our county with great probability of rain-showers'. So,
you go out and take an umbrella with you, just to be prepared. But for the
sake of making something clear, just think about a few stupid, busy guy's
that didn't hear this forecast.

They go out for their jogging, a little careless,
still in sunshine but with some gusty wind. When arriving at the intended
spot, they encounter a shower in the middle of a nice stroll in the woods.
One guy complains about getting wet, his nice tennis shoes are soaked, his
hair is a tragedy, his pants wet and his attitude frozen…
He complains about all these negative situations
that happen to pop up in his life… 'Look how these water drops roll into
my neck, how unpleasant this whole situation is…' The other guy is silent
and just listens to the complainer.
Now, does his anger change anything
to the situation? NO. It makes
it even worse. By complaining about something, you feel it more intense, more
real and in an increased negative attitude. The only thing that helps is:
getting inside a house, sharing an umbrella with a cautious stroller, having
an extra raincoat in your pocket BUT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
In this stupid example, everybody will recognise
the wrong action of the uninformed, careless person and see easily what should
have been done. BUT, this is the case with every problem. The moment you start
complaining about something STOP IMMEDIATELY. You are probably in the same
situation as the guy in the forecasted rain-shower. Complaining does not help
at all. Complaining is a symptom that you omitted something, that your time
integration can be done better.
Action or letting go is the only answer. Every
time you lay the reason for a certain problem with a situation outside your
person, you are making a mistake. The real source of the negative circumstances
is your attitude towards this 'problem' and your previous decisions or omissions
concerning these matters. You could have had a sort of forecast about the
weather problem, you could reason in a prudent manner, you could simply deduct
the 'problem' by the colour of the arriving clouds and the increasing wind
and make sure you get inside a house when the shower will soak you.
Our whole ego consciousness is trained to look
for the reason for our unhappiness outside our self. Once found, it fights
it feverishly. This habit is so ingrained that it's often totally misunderstood…
The complaining and being the victim of a 'problem' is an obvious signal that
you have to change something to make sure that the future will go easier for
you….
Do you feel activated, annoyed and have some
resentment about the above? Sorry, maybe this text is really something to
consider seriously for some time.
Can you smile with it? Great, you are on
the right track!
Keep smiling!
