MEET YOUR PROBLEMS WITH AN ATTITUDE

OHH! C'MON NOT AGAIN!

YOUR GIFT IS  ALL WRAPPED UP

Every human being who visits planet Earth will have the frequent privilege of meeting His Majesty “The Problem”.Essentially, this great entity comes in your life to empower you.A problem is the wrapping around opportunities,for those who can see,for those who choose to be empowered.For most others, it’s a source of avoidable pain.Yet the greatest and the most eminent in the human race have often made it big despite, and because of their problems.Undoubtedly the greatest achievers are also masters in solving problems in their field.Open any page of the history of achievers  and this trait  will jump at you.

Usually when a problem arrives, what are the possible responses?Broadly, response follows two major streams. One, you can be the solution,or the solver.Two, you can be the screamer,activist,fault finder,accuser or whatever else-to avoid solving it.

PLACE THE PROBLEM IN CONTEXT

It is good to identify a problem,but it is wiser still to place it in correct perspective.The context of the problem facing you is much more important than the specifics alone.Even though the specifics will help you solve it,the context will, finally, place it in correct alignment for future solutions.In any case blame ,fault finding takes no one anywhere.

Identification of the problem is one aspect.Solving it is another.For problems created by someone it is their responsibility to solve it,however an equal obligation to solve the problem rests with those who identify it, and know the gravity of the problem.Mere shrill activism ,accusation or finger pointing is no contribution.Every body can do that.Only some do it quietly,and some from rooftops.

MAKE A STEW,BUT THAT'S NO SOLUTION

Fretting about the problem, and the problem alone is no good either. Obsession with the problem ,to the exclusion of everything else,is a fixation with regress.It takes you backward.Not forward.

Solutions ,on the other hand transport you to the future.They are the milestones on the shimmering road to progress.

It often happens that a few of us are so taken up with stewing about problems that we continue our  ranting even after it has been solved.It is like throwing away the banana and cursing the peel for being there in the first place.It is a subtle sign of dis-empowerment.

It is our bounden duty to keep ourselves physically fit ,to exercise and to nourish our bodies for good health.It is an even greater responsibility to keep ourselves healthy mentally,to adopt the most powerful attitudes while meeting problems.A constructive , solution oriented attitude helps solve problems amazingly fast.And contributes to social and personal effectiveness.

MEET 'EM HEAD ON

There are numerous studies and approaches on problem solving .All worth  implementing.Yet it is good to remember the famous quote “It’s not how far you fall that counts,but how high you bounce”.

When you  meet a problem next,see yourself as a good problem solver.Want a more creative approach?Then I personally recommend  considering that you’re attending  a problem solving workshop ,albeit a real life one.This is a “power” attitude.One that is  far more likely to solve your case,than whining and  fretting about it.
