How to Solve Our Human Problems - American Edition
When
things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we
tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever
problems we experience come from the side of the mind.
If we responded to difficult situations with positive or peaceful mind
they would not be problems for us. Eventually we might even regard them
as challenges or oportunities for growth and development.
Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state
of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform
our mind.
