Life Hassle vs. Life Problem:
Why You Need To Know the Difference By Lisa Marie Rosati
“All of the water in the world can- not drown you unless it gets inside of you.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
I find this quote very thought
provoking and undeniably true … It’s a powerful metaphor to use for life, it teaches us that what- ever drama you might be experi- encing; whether it’s financial, life, personal or work stress… let it be around you and not inside of you. A life hassle, once put in proper perspective, is simply an incon- venient circumstance… nothing more and nothing less. No one likes being inconvenienced, right? But alas, inconvenience is a fact of life, so it inevitably happens to us all. As a Divine Feminine Leader in charge of your life, you get to choose your response to it!
I want to share with you a power- ful statement that changed my life in one second flat. A mentor of mine once taught me that things that go wrong in life are hassles not problems. He went on to say, “Things that go not accord- ing to plan is simply a hassle, can- cer…well…cancer is a problem”.
WOW- If that statement wasn’t a cosmic two by four slapping some sense into me! That one statement redefined EVERY thought process that took place in my head in the past and it shined the light of wis- dom onto every future thought process that I will have. There’s a huge difference between hassles and problems and it’s really imperative to your happiness level and energetic vibration to discern between the two of them when issues arise.

Think about the way you define the word problem…is it a prob- lem when the dishwasher breaks down or the car doesn’t start? Those aren’t problems, they’re hassles. Annoying, disruptive and inconvenient hassles.
Once you let the negative thought pattern in and allow the hassle to consume your thoughts and mental outlook (mood), it will block your ability to feel joy and peace.
The key to coping is to know that all feelings pass, good or bad. Nothing stays the same. People can tend to get, as I like to call it “hooked on a feeling”, which is the tendency to get sucked into a funk because life has not gone according to plan.
