How to solve the problem

*Today’s Session

.*

Four sessions... each one lasted an hour.

She kept talking, and I kept listening.

Countless questions... endless worries... layers of confusion... an unbroken stream of thoughts...

Voices rising from every corner of life, all weighing down the mind.

And then, at the end of the fourth session, I simply told her:

"Problems, pain, difficulties, worries, confusions, and overthinking are all part of every human life. No one is completely free of them. If instead of spending all our energy crying over these problems, we focus on finding solutions and then acting on those solutions, life becomes far easier and more peaceful."

"The real issue is that we’re never taught from childhood how to face difficulties. At home, in school, in college, at university, and later in the workplace... nowhere are we taught that complaints, grievances, worries, and aimless thoughts don’t reduce problems. Problems only reduce when we take steps toward their solution."

"Remember: the problem that has a solution doesn’t need worry. And the problem that has no solution... worrying about it won’t change anything's
