• There is no smoke without a fire they say, likewise every sad situation in life should have a root cause, sometimes you might be unfortunate that there may be a myriad of causes that would escalate to the problem. The ability to dig deeper to find out the root cause of the problem is the first step towards getting over that situation.

TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN

• After identifying the problem, the next thing to do is to try to stop the fire from burning, by this I mean, you would try to address the causes of your sadness in your best ability to be able to restore your happy state. If the cause is a misunderstanding with a co-worker or a family member, try and take out time to talk about the problem. It is best to swallow your pride and sum up enough courage and deal with the root cause. Sometimes this might be very tasking and you may need to seek assistance from a friend.

• A problem shared is a problem half solved., sometimes we might not know that the answer to our problems is just next door. If we speak to people about our problems, there might be able to offer help or refer to a person that is capable of helping. Everybody certainly has something to offer if only we are humble to ask nicely.
