Have you ever been caught in between the red sea and the devil?
This is what life does to man when it decides to place you under close check, it tests your ability to withstand pressure even when you see that there will be no way out, because the way out happens to be one tiny passage somewhere amidst the problem.
The only reason why you see no hope in the midst of your problem is because all focus and attention is on the problem at hand, distraction and confusion takes your mind off finding the solution.
Once your peace and focus is distracted the solution ends up looking like the problem itself.

In the midst of all the problems there is always one tiny little door that will always get you out of such a problem. A little door that will take you to the other side of life where you no longer see that problem. (It takes patience and focus) to be able to break through.
Have you ever been caught in the middle of the “Red sea and the devil”? Some people might not really get the picture of what I am trying to say as they will wonder what this statement looks like. Now let's give a literal explanation of that statement.
A man doing a little job that can hardly fit his three squares meals received a call from his mother in-law with the information that his pregnant wife is in labour and is been rushed to the hospital, on receiving that message he quickly rushed to his boss to borrow some money as his wife is about to put to birth but then he discovered he is indebted to the company which his annual salary will not be able to cover and then his boss who happened to be a lady offered him the money on one condition which is the promise to carry out her
dirty deals, as she claims her money doesn't really come from the job they do but from what she is asking him to do with the promise of writing off all his previous debt.
What do you think of this man?
At this point of his life the only thing he sees is the picture problem of how his wife and his baby will be saved.
Even though he seeks solutions, the attention placed on finding solutions is being suppressed by the attention placed on the problem itself.
How does he cross this?
Problems will always offer a little pass. It takes great attention to be able to see that pass. It's not easy and it doesn't come so fast.
All one needs to do in such situations even though it's very difficult, try as much as possible to look away from the problem. “It's easier said than done” But a great discipline does a lot in a situation like this.
Pay good attention to finding that little doorway, with zero distractions and zero confusion you get to find that door.
Allow the mighty problem to rumble and shout all it can while you slowly work on getting the right keys that will make a way that will give a change that puts all the story behind.
Make progress with your thought no matter how slow it is it will surely break the barriers.
It's better than sitting back and watching the problem lead you into depression and a confused state of your life making you a direct opposite of what you should be.
Keep moving no matter how slow you are, just make sure you don't stop moving.
Slow and steady always wins the race
