We define problems as situations that are unwelcome and needing to be dealt with and overcome. Problems are a sign of life, the only people that don’t have problems are the dead. How boring and uninteresting would life be if we didn’t have problems and challenges to overcome? If everything was easy and we could click our fingers to obtain all the things we wanted, what kind of life would that be? Words such as work, courage, discipline, persistence, growth and success would hold no meaning. It is because of the challenges that stand in your way that makes success all the worthwhile to achieve.
The problems we faced when we were young are quite different from the problems we face as adults. What you want to be doing year upon year is conquering bigger problems and reaching higher goals. A goal is usually a problem that has not yet been solved. To fix a problem you must do two things, change your thinking and change your actions. Sometimes we think we have a problem but is just our thoughts that are the problem, so change your thoughts. However, other times we know we have a problem, but we don’t choose to act. You must change your thinking and your actions for you to solve problems you have.
A LADDER OF CHALLENGES TO CLIMB
You can look at success like a ladder with multiple sets of rungs or steps to climb. Starting from a baby learning how to crawl, then stand, then walk and eventually run. This is a small ladder to climb that we successfully complete in a few years. The next ladder we climb is a taller ladder never-ending and that is called education. From learning the alphabet and timetables, through to language and communication. Education is a ladder we are always climbing. We advance throughout our years in life climbing different ladders from the relationship ladder and the corporate ladder. Starting from humble beginnings climbing to higher heights, success is a never-ending climb stretching ourselves to our potential as human being, then using your success to help others climb the ladder you have scaled.
PREVIOUS PROBLEMS OVERCOME
We go and grow through life so fast that we very little stop and think of all the problems and challenges we have overcome in our life to date so far. For one, you should pat yourself on the back for keeping yourself alive, an accomplishment you should be proud of. Life’s not easy at times and hard times can break people. We all face storms in our life from the loss of loved ones, loss of our health, relationships, career and financial. You have weathered storms in your past that could have broke you but here you are alive with the future in front of you with personal dreams to achieve. Make a list or mentally reflect on all the problems and challenges you have faced in the past you have overcame. Use this list as a motivation tool to give you courage and strength to know what you face now can be overcame just as the previous obstacles you have scaled.
Throughout our life we have overcome many obstacles and problems. What I want you to do is make a list below of all the difficulties, obstacles and problems you have managed to overcome in the past. By writing the list you will notice you are already successful in your own life according to your own standards by overcoming past problems.
SOLUTIONS TO CURRENT PROBLEMS
Take a moment and think about the top six problems and challenges you are facing right now in your life. Problems and challenges like financial, health, relationship, career, goals etc. Take each problem you have and write a paragraph detailing the following. What is the problem? How long have you had this problem? What is stopping you from eliminating this problem? Who has overcome this problem and what can I learn from them? What is my timeframe in eliminating this problem? What is my game plan in taking action to once and for all getting rid of this problem? To write out your problem in a paragraph answering these questions will give you the solution to the problem.
