How to face difficulties in Life? If you are like most people then your first reaction will be a complaint. Why did this happen to me? What do I do now My plans are ruined. This is a natural reaction. However, after the initial disappointment, you have a choice.
Either you get into trouble or you find some benefit or lesson from the problem that caused it. You may spend some time in uncertainty and struggle but there is always another side to the picture. Maybe the problem you are considering is a problem is an opportunity.
The latest example is the corona. The world is in trouble because of the coronavirus. But there are also opportunities.
For example, you may have heard that in those days, a layer of Ozone that had been damaged by pollution, and that had no chance of recovering in the long run, due to lock downs, a layer of ozone Has been repaired.
Similarly, due to the lock down in Corona, even an ordinary shopkeeper is thinking of starting to do his business online.
If the Corona problem hadn’t arisen, the average shopper probably wouldn’t have thought about online business for another 10 years.
How do difficulties benefit us?
I will tell you seven ways in which will prove how difficulties benefit us.
Difficulties change our point of view
For example, if a person recovers from a serious illness, it will not be a big problem for him to have a punctured tire or a leak in the roof. Instead of focusing on these things he focuses on important things in life.
Difficulties give us a chance to be thankful
Difficulties and problems, especially those that cause loss and deprivation, should make you appreciate the aspects of your life that you have.
It is a fact that we do not appreciate the thing until it is taken away from us. When you do not have hot water, you immediately start giving importance to hot water. Unless you are sick, we don’t care of
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“There are two blessings that people are deceived about, health and relaxation.”
That is, if these two things exist, then we do not value them and live in the delusion that they will always be with us.
The wise man is always grateful even in times of loss and deprivation, even in difficult times. Remember, we are moving in the direction of our dominant thinking, so the more we are grateful, the more we will find.
Allah says : If you give thanks to Me, I will give you more
Difficulties bring out our potential
You become emotionally strong after overcoming, any difficulty.
Life has tested you and you have passed it. Now when the next difficulty comes you will deal with them with better weapons. Most of us remain unaware of our abilities until difficulties come, And we deal with them.
Difficulties motivate us to change and act within ourselves
Take the example of a failed business. After a business fails, an entrepreneur learns something that makes him amazingly successful in his next business.
Difficulties open new doors
If you lose a relationship, you get a better relationship. If you lose a job, you get a better job. That is, when one door closes, the other door opens. In that case, we can say that the problem comes to us in the form of an opportunity.
Difficulties Increase Self Esteem and confidence
When you overcome an obstacle with enthusiasm and determination, you feel competence and confidence in yourself. And you feel your personal value and use those feelings in other things as well. You always have the choice to look at things positively or negatively. Looking positive will overcome difficulties. Looking negative will lead to trouble.
