Have Problems in Life

Life is full of problems, they will never go away. However, a happy life is not a problem free life; once people learn to accept this they will get on much better. If you accept that complications and issues don't make you unhappy then you are better prepared to face them head on and deal with them effectively.
There will always be arguments and disagreements, others will try to put you down or undermine you, at times you may have money problems and struggle to pay unexpected bills. Taxes will go up or you'll meet a rude person at the cashier in the local supermarket: anything can occur.
