The Inevitable, Inescapable, Most Blatant Reality That Haunts Us.

You cannot expect to go through life without encountering obstacles. Difficulties, perplexities and frustration are inevitable. They are that inevitable, inescapable, most blatant reality that haunts us and makes for part of the human experience. Accepting the inevitability of problems and obstacles will help us approach them in a robust frame of mind rather than think you're a victim specially singled out by the malignant vicissitudes of fate.

Question: What do you do when confronted with an obstacle?

In my opinion, when confronted with an obstacle, the very first thing to do is to identify and acknowledge said obstacle. Gather all relevant data to get acquainted with all the facts of the case. Then write down exactly what the obstacle is, stating it simply in black and white. This gives you something definite with which to come to terms. The problem is assessed and you will now have something concrete to deal with.

Next thing to do is, give serious thought to the problem, making sure that such thought does not degenerate into worry as worry accomplishes nothing. Aim at clear, objectively dispassionate thought, viewing the problem as if it were friend's and not your own. Look at it from all angles and from the view point of all concerned. You court disaster if you are entirely selfish in your outlook. The single important purpose of all this is to discover all possible solutions to the problem.

Having examined the problem broadly and impartially, carefully examine all the possible solutions or courses of action, the knowledge that you have gathered will allow for not engaging and keep you from useless regrets later, when you can remind yourself that all possible courses of action were thoroughly examined and you chose what appeared to be the best at the time. Next, eliminate all proposed solutions which are seen or further thought to be impracticable.

You will now find that the list of solutions has been whittled down to two or three possibilities. At this stage it is often a good plan to get out into the open air, go for a ride or a walk or something distracting. There out in the open, review the problem afresh. You will find it appears much less formidable. Ask yourself conscious questions about the difficulty and effects of the issue in the long run. This fresh review will enable you to make a final choice as you turn to the remaining solutions and, before you return home, decide which you're going to adopt. As you go to sleep that night, let your last thoughts be upon your decision. If, in the morning, you still feel it is the best possible solution, go right on ahead.

One last thing, in dealing with problems or obstacles, remember the time factor. Although some problems solve themselves in time, and delaying tactics are therefore the best form of action for them, most other problems generally get more complicated the longer it isn't addressed. You should therefore get to grips with such problems immediately they occur.

A/N: All told, reasonable foresight and imagination can prevent many problems ever arising. Tact, thoughtfulness and responsible conduct can also keep life largely problem-free.

Lest I forget,

That's just life. When you think you've crossed an hurdle another arises. Obstacles are inevitable, staying calm in the face is an habit i try to develop. Worrying won't solve a problem, it will only compound issues.
