Trouble
Most of us know the saying " Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you," so what is trouble,? whatever it is it comes in many forms and can crop up at any time, and what does troubling trouble mean,? no matter where we are or what ever sphere we are working in, or even when we are relaxing, up it pops usualy as a situation we cannot see a way out of. An arguement with a friend, getting into debt, sudden illness, a trauma, or a drama of one kind or another, to mention just a few, there it is presenting itself in order to irritate, frustrate, or depress us even to the point of despair. We may say to ourselves " what the hmmm! is going on, I am trying my best, I don't deserve this," Well no one does deserve it unless they think so, and what good does that do,? if anyone thinks they deserve it or not and wants to allow what ever it is to bring up bad feelings or actions, then isn't that troubling trouble,? so what is the way out,? in my opinion it depends on if we choose to see trouble as a problem or nor because trouble involves being in a situation of one kind or another. Actualy we all have a choice, and by seeing trouble as a problem it is possible to become overwhelmed by it, but looking at it as a situation and realising that by taking steps to resolve it only as the moment presents itself, and not running movies in our head about it, relieves the tension and aggravation making it possible to be more relaxed and make the right decisions. People have many ways of sorting out their difficulties when trouble knocks on the door, myself I look at it this way trouble is never a problem unless we make it one, we can make a choice, and know that we have all been given an inner strength that is there when the time comes that we require it, so everyone can trust themselves that they can resolve all situations, and also decide to accept that the natural process of creation will take care of any outside our control. Troubles appearance is deceptive, and what would we do without challenges. Lived moment to moment life is good, and there is a lot to enjoy in life and Yes! most of them are free, I am reminded of a song that was popular during world war two, " Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.
