If you have 5 problems you are barely living, according to Norman Vincent Peale. A person with 10 problems seems to be the goal for living a full life. I think I have one foot in the grave. LOL maybe I should go volunteer somewhere(?) but isn't this my time to kick-back and enjoy my retirement? My biggest problem is back fees of $460.00 on a Jeep recently purchased on Craig's List. Second would be my Nissan's electrical problem. What are your problems? If none, then solutions to the PAY's problem. Thanks for your well thought out solutions. Sometimes we can't see the answer when we are overwhelmed.

There's problems, hurdles, dilemmas, and pickles,
There's quandaries, decisions,
And choices for fickles,
But whatever you're facing,
You can ask a friend's advice,
And hopefully the outcome
Will be very nice

That sounds Lewis Carrol's stuff. LOL "The time has come the Walrus said to talk of many things". That's all I can remember at the moment...something...."sealing wax and cabbages and Kings". I <3 it. LOL
My problem is marketing my topic. Solution: quit writing topics

You may have..unless being a cat would be your new problem. Otherwise, at the end of the line..you'll simply have had 90 problems to your credit for full lives.

I think the author was trying to get the reader to relax about any problems that arise during life. Ok you can have 9 problems and still be able to handle them.

My brother Jimmy once asked me: "Do any of your problems have to do with money?" And I said yes all of them do. Then he said: "Then you really don't have any problems." What he meant was having mental health was worth more than any amount of money. You can be broke and still be happy. I'm happy because I have the best woman in the world as a fiance'

The pain, the discomfort, the sickness are what they are. We can always cope with the way life moves and changes. The mind of an enlightened human being is flexible and adaptable.
The mind of the ignorant person is conditioned and fixed.

"Mantra for the week"
Leave the mind in its natural, undisturbed state. Don't follow thoughts of "This is a problem, that is a problem!"
Without labeling difficulties as problems, leave your mind in its natural state.
In this way, you will stop seeing miserable conditions as problems.
- Lama Zopa Rinpoche,

Change is a constant. Funny how so many have a problem adapting to it. And I don't mean funny as is ha ha. Those type of people cling to what they know and seem unable to move out of their comfort zone. Life throws all of us curve balls at times but how we adapt and our ability to deal with those problems is the telling. I agree that ignorance is conditioned and fixed. And its own worst enemy.
This topic brings to mind an email from my daughter yesterday. A young man of 15, his grandmother is an old friend, took his own life 2 days ago because his girlfriend broke up with him. He was a friendly, outgoing and good student. His whole life ahead of him. So tragic and so very sad as he left no note for his family. His reasoning will never be known. What a waste of a young life. So yes, regardless your health or life problems, be thankful for each day that is given to you.

ATTITUDE - - by Charles Swindoll
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a relationship... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...
I am convinced that LIFE IS 10% WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AND 90% HOW I REACT TO IT.

I've had physical problems since I was a kid. Thankfully I was too young to grasp the concept of self pity. By the time I did I'd also learned that there was always someone worse off than me in the next hospital bed.
