Problems (new) - require new methods

08/10/2014

Life is characterized by movement; it never stays the same. It flows, circulates and changes state, moving beings and things around, requiring them to adapt each time. Today you may have had a problem that needed to be solved, and you solved it by using a particular method. But then, the following day, something else happens, and if you try to deal with it by using the same method it won’t necessarily work: so you have to take account of what is new or even unexpected about this situation. You have to tell yourself you will never be at rest, for life never stops presenting different problems that need to be solved, and each one requires a specific solution. Yesterday, for example, the solution was a gesture of kindness, of generosity. But today you have a different matter to sort out, and now it is reasoning, firmness or even stubbornness that will help you. Another time it will be to not be bothered or to forget about something. So find how you can adapt each day to the circumstances. That requires attention and reflection.
