It is so much difficult to solve a problem you don’t know its cause. When the cause of a problem is not adequately understood, to solve it becomes hard.

If things suddenly begin to go wrong, and no solution seems to work out, there is a need to step back and reevaluate your approach as well as observe the real cause of the problem.

Human beings are usually in a haste. We like immediate result, most especially, if things are going wrong at the moment.

Unfortunately, being in a haste makes us loose a proper attention needed to unravel the real cause of the problem.

Being in a hurry to solve a problem will bring a wrong judgement about the cause of the problem. This leads to rendering inaccurate solution towards the problem.

We rarely analyse and navigate through the problem very well before start coming up with solutions.

We all make this mistake. It causes us more problem. This is the main reason things seem to go wrong no matter how hard you try to make it right.

“For every problem there is a solution”.

The point is, you need to stay with the problem longer, pondering on different ways to make things work and come up with various steps to take in order to eradicate the problem.

You don’t think of another step to take after the first step has already failed. You must have different steps to be taken available before you take any step at all.

A lot of people make mistake of only have a singular solution to a problem. Capital NO!

You need to readily make available different solutions in case the first one fails. This is how you solve problem faster.

Of course, situations prove to be stubborn at times regardless of the number of solutions made available to tackle it.

When this happens, forcing things to work will just compound the problems. Sit back, breath in, and visualise a positive outcome while preparing to have a long-term patient.

“Patient is not ability to wait but ability to keep taking the right steps while waiting”……Joyce Meyer.

Every problem dissipates as time goes by. Your wrong view about the situation makes it seems to be that difficult.

Human mind either exaggerates or underrates the situations. Its view is always not accurate at the initial stage of every situation.

With patient, you will get to fully understand the issue and find ways to solve the problem.

Take note of this: develop a habit of thinking on paper. Get pen and a paper and write down whatever the problem is and write under it a solution you prepare to offer.

Visualise it as if the problem has been solved. This act activates law of attraction to bring to you a befitting solution. At this stage, you can add prayer if you believe in religion.

Try this and see.
