Embrace the Problem by John Franklin

Life has problems
This is good
This is right

Without problems
There is no growth
There is no purpose

Solving problems
Creates discomfort,
And creates pain

This suffering
Builds courage 
And creates wisdom

By avoiding problems
We avoid pain
We avoid living

Lots of truth there John. Life can often be uphill. The sooner you realize that, joy can follow!
