Stop Solving Problems:
Whenever you have a problem that seems insurmountable, do not attempt to solve it. That approach never works. It is really a waste of time and actually makes the problem expand. Energy invested expands whatever it is focused on.
It is true that you cannot solve a problem at the same level that it exists. You must come at it from a fresh angle and adopt a new view. Assume all problems are there to teach you what you need to do to adapt and to learn.
Action item:
Learn to use every problem situation as a signal for asking yourself:
· How do I want to interpret this in light of what I was trying to achieve?
· What is the hidden benefit to me in this situation?
· How can I tap into my creative higher self and look at this situation differently?
· What can I learn from this that will help me keep moving or get moving in the right direction?
Expectations will guide you forward:
When you do learn to ask these types of questions, you will become more interested in possibilities and solutions and less interested in problems. Let your highest positive expectations guide you. Expectations are your goals, aspirations, vision, wants and needs. Keep them in the forefront as the guide.
· Expectations force you to know what you want, and knowing what you want will always put problems into their proper context.
· Expectations are always just “a bit ahead” of where you are currently. They serve as a magnet and preview of what’s next for you.
· Having expectations as a guide places the fundamental responsibility for choosing what you want where it needs to be.
Give yourself some time to increase your own self trust that you know the best possible solution.
To your success,
