There are so many things in life that are pretty much inevitable. Besides the usual ones like death and taxes that we're accustomed to hearing people talk about, the idea of having problems in our lives is one of those things that are inevitable. You may be a person that rarely experiences problems, and that is good for you if that is your life. However, for most people in this life, frequent problems are something that cannot be evaded. Generally speaking, problems are subjective when it comes to how we handle them. Also, the magnitude of our problems can have a great deal of variance. Some problems are more severe, while others are hardly recognizable depending on the individual and that their viewpoint. A big aspect of problems is that there is so many variations of not only how severe they, but also the frequency of when they can occur. Sometimes we will have problems that happen sparingly and few in between. Other times they will come in waves where it seems as if it's one problem after another. The latter happening is when we can begin to feel overwhelmed with all that is happening in our lives. We often hear talk about the importance of prioritizing things in our lives. People say things like we as people have to have our priorities in order. Though it may not be something we hear often, priorities and problems can often be intertwined with one another. This is why it is very important for us to be able to both categorize, and prioritize our problems.
Hello once again to all! This is Brad H. back in the mix to bring you all another installment of 'Brad H.'s Perspective'! Welcome back to the frequently viewers, and a big thank you to anyone that may be visiting for the first time. This is a hub that I use to give my perspective on a topic that I think could be helpful towards us progressing in our lives. This is the soapbox section of the topic where I address something besides the topic at hand. For my soapbox this go round, I want to talk about why we as people should be listening more. I know it sounds cliche, but it is something that has been on my mind. I was recently witnessed a discussion among people that I know that is the reason why I'm bringing this up for my soapbox. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like everyone thinks they know everything these days. I witnessed one person that clearly didn't know as much as they thought about a topic, and they were attempting to talk over someone else that was well versed on the topic. We all have things that we may be more knowledgeable on than others, but that doesn't mean you are above listening to someone else that is more sharper on a subject you may not be. Listening to another person isn't a weakness, and I believe much of this comes from too many of us having egos that are too big. I just want to encourage everyone to listen more, Like the old saying goes, you have two ears and one mouth; try listening twice as more as you talk. That's all I got for the soapbox, so lets talk about the importance of prioritizing our problems.
The act of prioritizing our problems comes down to what I brought up in the opening of this topic. We have to be able to first categorize our problems to begin with. I brought up how some problems are more severe than others. While I believe this to be true from my perspective, all of what I'm bringing up here depends on how we as individuals handle our issues. One person may view a certain issue in their life as being severe, while another person facing the same issue may not look at it the same way as the the former. A good portion of this topic is all about personal perspective and how you choose to view things in your life. The main purpose I have with this topic is to hopefully show how mentally draining our problems can be. Anyone that has dealt with problems know how difficult it can be to function when your problems seem to be piling up. Often times when we're in the thick of our problems, it can be hard for us to view things from a wider point of view. I believe that it isn't that hard to believe or understand how this can be possible. The scope of our problems can take up so much of our minds that thinking about anything else can be extremely difficult to do. That being said, there is no judgement, and we should all try to be understanding of others when it comes to how we handle problems. More importantly, having grace on ourselves when we are dealing with problems of our own is very essential. We're not perfect, so we cannot expect to deal with our problems perfectly.
Each of the problems that we face throughout our lives can be put into categories. This is where the prioritizing our problems facet of this topic comes into play. The same way that we prioritize certain things in life is the same way we should tackle our problems. Now preferably speaking, it is best to be in a situation where we have little to no problems. There isn't much to prioritize in that scenario. But if you're in a situation where the problems are beginning to pile up on top of one another, we have to put them in a hierarchy on how to deal with them. If we are going to come from a general perspective, the standard thing would be to face the biggest problems first, and then worry about the little ones when you can. While this may be the standard way of handling priorities, problems in and of themselves are not always easy to take care when it comes to solving them. As much as we may hate to acknowledge it, some of our problems may never truly be able to be solved. Because they may not be solvable, learning to cope with them the reality for many people. This relates to this week's topic in coordination with what I brought up in the previous paragraph; the mental aspect of handling problems. I briefly touched on how frequent problems can be mentally draining. Furthermore, some of the problems we face will be more mentally draining than others. This is where I believe the idea of prioritizing factors into our problems.
The importance of prioritizing our problems! Categorizing our problems, and understanding how those problems can be mentally draining has led us to the importance of prioritizing problems. I believe from my perspective that prioritizing our problems is the key to mentally dealing with them. While we may not always be able to avoid or sometimes even solve the problems in our lives right away, we can at least try and control how much of our lives they consume. Again, all of this comes down to the degree of problems and the individual. Prioritizing our problems and being able to put them into categories can help towards easing some of that mental drain that they can cause. If you find that the issues in your life are continuing to build up, you may want to put the ones that you deem as smaller on the back burner until the larger ones are controlled or solved. I believe that all of this helps to de-clutter our minds and keep our problems in perspective. I believe that when we allow our problems to roam free within our lives and our minds, the mental drain that comes along with it robs us of our peace. I've said plenty of times on here that there is no price that can be put on having peace. So to sum all of this up, remember that it is of importance to access whatever problems you may be having. Look for and seek solutions if they can be had, but if it's something that cannot be solved in the immediate future, try not to allow it control you mind. Problems are always going to rear their ugly head, but prioritizing and having the right mindset towards facing them can be the difference between a draining life, or a joyful life.
