Solving Problems

View problems as challenges, not obstacles.

Life is full of challenges. If viewed negatively, even the smallest of problems can become an enormous difficulty.If viewed in a positive light, apparently insurmountable problems become tremendous challenges. When we solve such challenges we gain strength.

Tomorrow, today's crisis will be yesterday's experience.

Take heart in the fact that the crisis you are experiencing now will not seem so bad tomorrow. Time is a wonderful healer.

In order to resolve a problem, detach yourself from it.

Problems are seldom as serious as they seem at the time. Much of the problem is created in our own minds as we tend to imagine the worst possible outcome.Sit down, relax and think pleasant thoughts or focus on something else for a while. When you come back to the problem it won't seem so bad.

Obstacles and difficulties help us to grow and make us strong and independent.

Without ever facing adversity, we cannot become strong.It is often the most painful experiences in our lives that help us grow the most. They may seem difficult at the time, but in years to come we can look back on them with gladness as they will have helped to make us what we are.The reward at the end of the journey is directly related to the difficulty in getting there.

The point at which things can't get any worse is also the point at which things can only get better.

If you look at things in a positive way and believe things will get better, then they will.

Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. No matter how bad things get, consider why things may not be so bad.

Much of what makes a situation seem so bad is our perception of it. There is always a positive side to things and always a reason why things are not as bad as they seem. If you can find those reasons then things will indeed not seem so bad.
