Tackle Your Problems

For a moment, close your eyes, clear your mind, and relax.

You must have a lot of things to take care of, or even a lot to worry about. It could be your kids, their future, your obligations, your bills, things around the house, your relationships, your financial life, etc.

Our minds are so good at finding faults with things, and start complaining about them, and once things get worse we suspect that they might endanger our personal lives. If we cannot do anything about them, we start worrying. Worrying creates the very kind of life you do not want to ever have!

This faculty of our minds to find faults with things that are not seemingly working now is really good and healthy if it is utilized in an empowering way. If we did not have this power, we never would move forward in our lives. But we need to train our minds, and take this to the next level on a day-to-day basis.

The point is that although it is very good to keep looking for the problems we see around us, it is not good to stop there. When you do not know about something that you identify as a problem, it does not harm you most of the time, although it may be someone's biggest problem in their life. But when you see something as a problem, and notice it in your personal life, you must take action to eliminate it from your life thoroughly, or it will stay there, grow in size and importance, and will take the peace and tranquility away from your personal life and as a result, from those in contact with you.

Once you have noticed the problem, and identified it, you must find the best solution available to you based on your situation, and take action on your solution immediately.

Perfectionism might want you to keep thinking for a better and a better solution, but that does not work. As soon as you have a solution that you think it works, or may work, or even might work, take action on it, and you will be amazed at how wonderfully the next steps will be shown to you as you go along.

It takes courage to take action in the face of adversity and uncertainty. Courage is like a muscle you have to keep working with until it is strong enough, and the action taking process is automatic.

Alway remind yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Right now, there is within you the potential to be, have, or do anything you want. You just need to tap into your inner power reservoir, and look for more as you go along.

Do not limit yourself even to the extent of your imagination. You can achieve far more than you can imagine. You can achieve anything even if you cannot imagine it yet.

So, here is a little exercise for you.

Identify one of the problems, that has stayed with you from the past six months, and you have not taken appropriate action to eliminate it.

Try to see the problem as it is. Do not make it any bigger than it already is. Try to detach the emotions you have attached to it. For a moment, forget about your emotions about that particular problem, so you can glean the facts out of the situation. The best way to do this is to see yourself as an expert who has been hired to solve this problem for somebody else. If you were an expert in this area, how would you see the situation? What would be the facts you would see? What would be the emotions that your client would have attached to the situation? How would you separate the facts from the emotions?

Once you see the problem as it is, try to find a solution to the problem. Do not fall into the trap of being perfect. "Perfect" does not exist in this world. It might, in a perfect one. Find any solution, anything that pops into your head, and just do it. Do not try to over-analyze the situation. Just do something, anything.

Did you take action? How did it go? Great!

Still can't think of a solution? Do not worry. We will find you one.

Try to break your problem down to as many digestible chunks as possible, so solving each part is easier and possible for you. Now, try to find a solution to each of the chunks. Club the individual solutions together, and you have the one single solution to your main big problem. Problem solved!

I would appreciate your feedbacks. Have a wonderful time.
