No problem; No Life

 

No problem; No Life

Can we imagine a life without a problem? The answer is straight no. Our problem is someone's business; the business world is filled with solutions. The objective of penning this article is not business and transactions but how to approach a problem.

 Let us understand how people approach a problem.

1.   Some consider it the end of life and drown in worries.

2.   Some ignore it and keep moving in life.

3.   Some sit on it and complicate it with too many thoughts.

4.   Some firmly work towards a solution by applying scientifically proven models like -Why Why Analysis, etc.

5.   Some blame others for their problem.

6.   Some will take the help of others to solve the problem.

7.   Some overdo things and complicate the solutions.

8.   Some bury it under the carpet, and finally, it becomes complicated to solve it.

We all are exposed to quotes on problem-solving, stories, fables, anecdotes, articles and videos about problem-solving and get motivated for a while, but in reality, we sometimes get bogged down when a problem knocks on the door.

Here are a few things that have helped me approach the problems in life.

 1.   Accept the problem before blaming the situation or the people.

2.   Don't play the role of a victim.

3.   Identify the root cause connected with your behaviour or habit that led you to the problem.

4.   Ask yourself how you can change your behaviour or habits. If required, list your thoughts and speak to a trusted person about your problem.

5.   Generate solutions, break them into tasks and set deadlines to work on them.

6.   Review yourself whether you are working towards it or not.

7.   Once you solve the problem, reward yourself.

Remember this quote:

" The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it".
