An experimental post - I tried using the 5 Why technique to find the root cause of a common problem of worrying.
Why do we worry?
Because we feel we
lack control of our destiny
Why do we feel the lack
of control?
Because our plans don’t
seem to work at all
Why don’t our plans work?
Because we cannot
control things like the economy, people, family problems and other acts of God.
Can we control
factors which are outside of our control?
No we need to have patience
and wait for things to unfold!
Then why do we lack patience?
It is a lack of faith
in our abilities.
Is Faith very important?
The best is to believe in a higher power like benevolent God
or at least believe in yourself.
In a terrible situation we lose faith in ourselves and in
doing so we also lose confidence in our skills and become a pale shadow of our
former selves.
Its remarkable when you need courage the most, we fail. So the
only answer to problems in life is having patience, by patience I don’t mean
you put up with rubbish but wait enough time for your plans to succeed.
Indeed there will be days when patience will wear thin, those are the
days you need to reach out to your friends and family. Only our true can re-enforce the trust and remind us of
our true abilities.
Even Lord Hanuman needed to be reminded of his true nature
and skills before He could travel to Lanka to find Sita.
So never be lonely and keep your friends and family close
and off course keep the faith
