Conquer the challenges

Problems arise without waiting for other problems to be solved first. And as a result you can quickly find yourself managing multiple challenges.

When that happens, instead of wrangling all those different problems, empower yourself with a change of perspective. See your task not as addressing an array of negative challenges, but as achieving a single positive outcome.

That doesn’t materially change the situation. What it does is increase your energy level and enable you to focus your efforts in a consistent, positive direction.

With an overarching, desirable objective, all the various challenges become aspects of one larger challenge. As you deal successfully with each aspect, you create momentum in the direction of your goal.

In this way, each bit of progress paves the way for more progress. Though your activities change from one issue to another, you’re able to remain unwavering in your focus and commitment to a specific outcome.

Rather than being pulled apart by multiple problems, bind your efforts and energy together in the service of a specific, meaningful goal. Strategically put the power of intention to work, and conquer the challenges no matter how numerous they may be.
