All Problems have SOLUTIONS….

“All problems have SOLUTION, otherwise they would not be problems”. I learned this from a Silva Method mentor, years ago. The expression really hit me when I realized that if all problems have solutions, we have much control over our lives.
This is the reason why it is so important to be conscious of what we want to achieve in life and to know how much we are willing to give of ourselves to reach the solutions that give us mental peace and the success we all aspire.
Successful people are those who are always looking for SOLUTIONS, working constantly on their projects and keeping in mind the image of the success they wish to achieve. A recent example is the case of Mr. James Dayson, the inventor of the Dyson Vacuum Cleaner. Before he succeeded, he tried 5,126 times to develop what is now a top-selling vacuum in Europe, now on sale in the Unites States. It took him 15 years of work (mental and physical) to find the right answer.
The example of Mr. Dayson, as well as so many successful people, tells us that failure is part of the process to find solutions. Many times we are debilitated by our apparent failure and give up on our aspirations when, the most important part is to be able to learn from every failure and make it into an experience that will help us be and do better in the next intent, until we reach the goal.
Many times we feel stressed from the problems we encounter in life. We worry -many times in exaggerated ways – about the magnitude of a situation. We can even become ill when we can not find the solution to the situation that is afflicting us. But this will not happen when we see problems as challenges, as stimulus, as probes to our tenacity, or as a way to keep our brain active. When we have to brain storm for ideas, we become more creative, more productive, and more satisfied with ourselves. When we find solutions to our problems, we feel in control, reinforcing our self-esteem and on the path to success.
In the Silva Method we learn that SOLUTIONS do not depend only on our physical senses. We also explore and find answers in our inner senses. When thinking in Alpha, we can find SOLUTIONS we did not even think about when working exclusively with our physical senses or Beta. When we think in Alpha we discover a whole new world of possibilities that take us to success. At the same time, we learn to better trust in our inner resources by developing the capacities of the right brain hemisphere where our creative imagination resides.
When we are seriously searching for SOLUTIONS and start finding them, we feel rejuvenated, energetic,full of enthusiasm, and trust more in ourselves. To find solutions is also synonymous of HAPPINESS because we feel happy, triumphant. We are the conquerors of every challenge life offers us!
