Thank you, problems!

I was having a difficult time with a family member this week — I was getting very impatient with them — until I realized something. 

“The universe has placed them on my path this week so I can learn patience,” I thought to myself. 

If I was already patient enough, I wouldn’t have had a difficult time in the first place. 

We tend to hate problems, or wish we never had them. 

But the truth is, problems can be very good friends for us. 

Problems are here to teach us what we need to learn. 

Once we learn it, problems pack their bags and go. 

Problems are the unsung heroes of our lives; the unappreciated teachers of our characters. 

For once: Thank you, problems!
