If you start with this kind of mindset, you are focusing on the problem, rather than the solution. How you feel about problems will seriously affect how well you will solve them, so lets try a little attitude adjustment.
Firstly, replace the word 'problem' with 'opportunity'. Because - believe it or not - we are built to deal with problems. Our whole evolutionary path has been shaped by the resolution of physical and mental problems. That's how we developed large brains, hind leg standing and opposable thumbs. So treat every problem as a chance to evolve and grow. Still don't believe me?
If you didn't have a problem with travel, why did you learn to walk?
If you didn't have a problem with communication, why did you learn to speak?
Every problem gives you an opportunity to grow and learn. So instead of the victim mentality, ask yourself about some constructive questions:
- How can I turn this to my advantage?
- How can I have fun solving this problem?
- Is there a lesson to learn here?
- What opportunities are there?
- Who will benefit from me solving this problem?
- How will I be rewarded for solving this problem?
And don't forget - whatever the problem - there are billions of people on this planet,who will never know. So don't be afraid of mistakes - it's how we learn.
Problem solving is a skill that can easily be learned. If you want to know more about problem solving, email me:
