The Battle

Albert Einstein once said,"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."  As one of the smartest people ever lived on the planet Earth, there has got to be some truth in what he said. We all have problems in some aspects of our lives, whether it is in our professional or personal life. Maybe that job did not work out, maybe that career was the wrong move, maybe that one girl or boy was not the one after all.  Whatever that problem is, we discover that we have to deal with it at some point in our lives because running away from it is not the right path on how to manage it.  So we bite our tongue, we ignore the fear we all have, we fight and struggle with it despite how the will to quit is there waiting and luring us in, and we march on and fight for what we believe in; it takes a lot of gut and self-motivation to fight for the victory and it does not come easy; it takes a lot of effort and maybe more than we have.  Sometimes the problem is a battle we have to cross and fight on in order to become a person we all yearn to be.  After the victory, we attain the mindset of Mr. Einstein; we discover that the only way to solve a problem is to stick to it and stay attached to it rather than trying to escape from it.  We, too, discover there is a solution to every problem and when we recognize the strength in this wisdom, fear becomes a small speckle and it doesn't seem as important and big as it used to be.  We become fearless with this mindset, as if we can conquer any problem, or anything.
