Choose to Have Bigger Problems

People have all sorts of problems. Some are trying to fix their back, others are trying to find a job, and many people hate their roommate. There will always be bills to pay and items that you want but can’t afford and neighbors that take your parking spot.

You can research chiropractors, spend your time networking, or move out on your own. You can save your money or look for a higher paying job, and you can figure out what time your neighbor comes home so you can beat him to the parking spot.

Albert Einstein’s problem was that we don’t understand where the world came from. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s problem was that people of his race were not treated fairly. If you asked these men if not having a parking spot was a problem, they would probably say “no.” Their mental energy was not spent on parking spots or empty milk cartons in the ‘fridge.

The law of problems: you will always have them. So choose yours wisely.
