Are problems and challenges weighing you down? Can you not handle the pressure and stress life sends your way? The truth is we all have to face the challenges in our lives, its just part of life and we can’t change that. But what we can change is our attitude towards our problems. Here are things we can recognize when dealing with them:
| When the problems: | Recognize that: |
| Embarrass you. | It’s O.K. to have problems. |
| Anger you. | You contributed to the problem somehow. |
| Confuse you. | It’s rarely “a” single problem. |
| Intimidate you. | Every problem has met its match somewhere. |
| Depress you. | Every problem is pregnant with a possibility. |
| Control you. | Your problem is either solvable or manageable! |
| Baffles you. | No problem is totally impossible. |
| Stop you. | Every problem is temporary. |
| Mislead you. | Problems are frequently just distortions. |
| Paralyze you. | A problem is just a decision waiting to be made. |
If you are feeling overwhelmed by your problems, divide it up and deal with each one individually. Remember not to easily blame others because in some way you helped create the problem. Here is a great example:
A husband says, “My wife is my problem!”
To which I reply, “You chose to marry her!”
An employee says, “My company is my problem!”
To which I say, “Who told you to work in that company?”
If you feel intimidated by your problem, believe and know that there is a solution somewhere that is matched for the problem. Once you can change your attitude toward your problem, you will no longer be intimidated and will start to think of your possibilities.
