Problems that come and go



If I want to get rid of a tree, I must cut it at the root. The banana tree, for example, is a very robust and resilient tree, even if it appears weak. Amazingly, no fire or a tornado can kill it. Even if someone cuts it into a thousand pieces, it can still survive. The only way in which the banana tree can be prevented from growing again is by pulling it out completely from the root. 


The same principle applies to life’s problems, especially the chronic ones. If they’re not resolved at root level, they eventually rise again and come back just as before.

Many people want to solve their problems but limit themselves to dealing with the leaves and branches. The result is the problems eventually come back — and sometimes they grow back even worse.

There are three main reasons why people usually do not deal with the root of their problems:

  1. They don’t know how to find the root 
  2. They know the root, but they don’t know how to kill it 
  3. They know how to kill it, but are not willing to put in the effort required to do it, in other words, they want quick answers 
Which case is yours?

We will explore this further in our next messages. Stay tuned.
