Problem response

Being resentful about your problems won’t solve them. What will solve them is focused action.

You may be well justified in your resentment. Yet all the justification in the world won’t make the problems go away.

The thing that will make them go away is your effort. And that effort is much more effective when you move resentment, blame, disappointment and anxiety out of the way.

Although it can indeed seem cold and cruel, your best approach is to see each problem as an opportunity. No matter how or from whom the problem originated, by working on it you can create value.

You can’t go back in time and prevent the problem from occurring. What you can do is move forward in time with a positive attitude and proactive approach.

Your problems are yours to solve and doing so will improve life. Eagerly seize that opportunity and run with it.

— Ralph Marston
