Solutions, Not Problems

"Are your problems likely to leave if you focus on how big or hard they are?

Are they just waiting for you to compare them with the problems of others and be found greater than or less than?

Are problems getting smaller the more they are shared or mourned?

Of course not.

In fact, these decrease your capacity for improving the situation.

The only sane way to deal with problems is to find ways to mitigate, circumvent, traverse, or solve them. Focusing on your ability to find a solution makes it more likely that you will find a solution. Trying any option is more likely to show you what might work and lead to other ideas or resources for moving past the problem.

Focusing on the solution is essential to solving any problem."
