Consolation...and...the solution

whenever we are in the midst of a problem, we find people who love us come and console us...
they dont do much, they dont say much...except ' this too shall pass'....

many times i wondered why do they say so ??
saying it out doesnt really solve the problem...
mabbe its jst to console you, to make you feel better.. its not a remedy..doesn't solve the problem..doesnt help you in any way... then why do they say so ??

One saturday afternoon, I was discussing this with my granny ..and here is what she had to say.....

well.. it surely aint the remedy, but it can definitely help you in finding your way ..

face the problem not as a problem... dont panic when you face one...
whenever you think something is completely over-powering you, calm down and think about its 'magnitude'..
at first it might seem to be huge enough to completely ruin your world...
on thinking further, you will realise that its just good enough to spoil one week of yours...
hmm....you will be thrilled cos suddenly this problem would seem to have shrunk its size...think a little more....
a week would seem too long a period .. so you would come down to a day or two....
Now think about all the good days that you have had....
i ' m sure they would be in hundreds.... and come back to these two or three days of despair....does the problem still seem to be big enough ?? :-)

When you have shrunk the magnitude of a problem to this minute level, your mind is free to work to find the solution...
You need a mind free of overheads when you try to find solutions...

Many times you succumb to hard times only because you allow it to over power u...
Nothing is big enough to ruin your day..
Difficult times are difficult till you think they are...

No one but you can help yourself out...
People might know the cause of the problem, they might know the effect, but no one other than you can find the solution.....

They console you only to assure you that things would be better soon...

"This too shall pass" is only to remind you of the triumphs you have had in the past ..
Its just to reassure you that you are strong enough to deal with it.. ..
Nothing can ruin your world unless you want it to....

at the end of the day, "Every cloud has a silver lining."

this blog is only for me to write things that are in my mind..yep its just going to be that..as and when something comes up and i feel like typing it out, i will do it..
why should one read this blog ???
heheh :) well well well.... i dont really expect anyone to read it...but if they do, then i would be pleased :).. like i said, i dont claim to provide you with a great piece of writing.. its going to be my thoughts on various situations that i face ... my stuff and my point of view...
