Who Can Solve Our Problems?

Over years, I learned the hard way how to solve my own problems.  I learned that other people cannot solve my problems and it is best to take things to my own hand rather than being dependent on other people to do it for me.  I learned over the years that the only person who can solve my own problems is myself.  I can gather great advice and tips on how to resolve problems from other people but when it comes to making my own decisions, only I can do that.  Only I can be the person who will be able able to apply what was advised to me and use it to my own advantage since I know my situation best.

The reason why I freaked out to solve my problems is that I was always afraid of making mistakes and taking the wrong turn; I didn't trust myself and know who I was; I didn't know my worth and what I was capable of.  After going out in the real world for three years, it hits me there is no such thing as one right answer, there are more than one right answer to each problem and the only time there is one right answer is when we take tests and the reason is that our teachers, or professors, make up those tests in order to make a grading chart for the class and despite this fact, there are times where there is more than one answer to a test question, which can annoy our instructors and mess up the grading scale.

Only we ourselves can solve our own problems and this applies to our personal and professional life.  When we rely on other people to help us solve our problems, we are taking away the opportunity for us to grow.  When we solve our own problems, we grow and become stronger, tougher, and more assured of ourselves; we grow a thicker skin and this will help us to face other potential predicaments.  The best way to learn this is through personal experiences.  When we experience this, the aha moments will come and we will be more independent in thoughts and as a person.
