Hone your intellect to overcome problems

Can you find out any person, who is not confronted with any type of problem in life?  In fact, we all face various impediments, obstacles and barriers and we need to overcome the same to maintain the equilibrium in life.  Life is a paradox and if you do not master the techniques to control all the odds, you cannot have a peace.  It is next to impossible to find a person, who has attained a mental state of quietness. No one can assert that his life is at complete peace.  Most of the time, most of us will be hypersensitive, agitated and under stressful syndrome, and so it is a difficult proposition to maintain a smooth pace all the while in daily life. The reason is very simple. We always hope for pure peace, which is free from all types of non-peace items.

You cannot find this type of peace in your living cycle.  Let us take the example of rose, which is a vivacious and glamorous flower.  People adore its beauty and decorate their vases with these flowers.  The fragrance of roses makes your life very romantic.  Yet, if you are not careful to touch this flower, its thorns, which are the integral part of the flower, may hurt your hands or fingers.  Sometimes the thorns may bleed you also. If you introspect why this beautiful flower has thorns and the answer may be that it acts as its security.  The safety of this adorable flower would have not been there, if the thorns were missing.  It teaches us that there must be non-peace items with peaceful items, which neither you can ignore nor you can avoid.  You must be mentally prepared to transcend the resistance of non-peace items to reach the peace items.

As per the psychology and its various hypotheses, an untroubled mind is just like a closed container.  If you don’t use an iron container and make it closed for a long time, it will be rusted.  Similarly, the mind, which is not effectively used, loses its power to think effectively.  Then it becomes somewhat dull in the absence of creativity.  So, you need to assess each and every situation in your life and if you face problems, you must accept the same with challenges.  The non-peace item only induces challenge in your mind.  The main purpose of a creative mind is that it never ceases its power to create alternative routes or ideas to cross any hurdles. A creative mind is always alive.  It could be quite possible that a person, who is affluent and have no difficulties to face in life, can be a little less creative. While living in luxuries, he may not need to exercise his creativity at all. But very soon, he will feel bored of his life and his mind will be dull.  Contrarily, a person, who has seen many hardships, has an active mind.  This type of person develops creative thinking and his intellectual development continuous unhindered.

The human mind needs always challenges.  As our body needs foods, water and physical exercise for its growth and to resist the environmental constraints, our mind also needs food in the form of power to think and then take action.  When your mind constantly gets challenged, it will grow till it becomes a super-mind.  On the other hand, in an environment where there is no challenge, the human mind becomes like torn foliage of a less nourished tree.  Without challenges and no exercise of mind power, it ultimately becomes underdeveloped.

Peace cannot be brought from the market like a commodity.  Peace is such a measure of life; you have to feel by controlling your mind with your power of love.  The law of attraction says that the more power of love will be shown by you for all the things you like, your mind will be more tuned to think in the positive way.  You must hone your intellect to ensure that your mind guides you properly, so that you can deal effectively with all unwanted and unpleasant situations.

A peaceful mind is another form of positivity.  British author Samuel Smiles said, “It is not ease, but effort, not facility, but difficult, that makes a man.”  It is true that if you lead a life at ease and with comfort, you will not be able to sharpen your intellect.  You must remember that difficulties and problems only will sharpen your intellect, which is very essential to achieve success in life in any field
