Problems make us stronger
Take them as an opportunity
Problems make us stronger.
The skill to turn problems into opportunities is one of the most important skills that you can learn. Also one of the most important to help you grow on the personal and professional levels of your life.
Think about it for a moment. It is inevitable to encounter obstacles from time to time in almost all areas of life. Such as work, family, partner, and friends. So it could be said that almost the only decision we can make about it is how to face them.
Problems Make us Stronger
Yes, perhaps there are some privileged ones, although they will undoubtedly be very few, who are lucky and live all their natural life without encountering any notable difficulty.
Does such a life seem desirable? From the outset it might seem so, but, as they say, all that glitters is not gold.
Besides, things are not so simple: a simpler life is very comfortable, no doubt, but it also deprives you of opportunities to learn. In addition it limit you to harden yourself.
To grow as a person and face the next challenge with greater force, with better vital “weapons”. In short, a simple life often breeds poorly prepared people.
Problems Make us Stronger
If you are like most people, you will probably encounter conflicts and problems in your day to day.
Also, this leads me to what I was saying above: almost the only decision you can make is how to deal with them.
How you do it, the solutions you find will depend on whether that problem ends up becoming an opportunity. In something that will ultimately make you stronger.
So, How do you turn a problem into an opportunity?
You will not be surprised to know that there are no infallible formulas – there are none at all in life, I’m afraid – but there are several fundamental principles that will help you to keep in mind.
Here are the 3 steps:
Don't avoid the problem
Don’t avoid the problem. Nothing to postpone it, look the other way, look for shortcuts or alternatives.
First, most basic thing, is to accept it and take the bull by the horns. Arm yourself with patience, arm yourself with courage, and think that a problem can actually be seen as a challenge, as a way to prove yourself.
It is not something unsolvable, it is a test, perhaps very hard, that will make you better and from which you will be victorious.
Turning problems into opportunities involve, first of all, looking at them head-on.
Brainstorm
Isolate yourself, stay away, and reflect.
In addition, put distance and observe the problem situation from outside. Imagine that it was happening to someone else and try to reflect objectively on what you would advise.
Apart from this, use a notebook, make diagrams, drawings … whatever you need.
Learn from Others
Lean on the experience of others. It is your challenge, but nobody says you should solve it by yourself.
Even if you don’t want to ask for help, you can search for information in books or on the Internet about how other people have faced similar situations.
Think of celebrities or people who are a reference for you.
It is an attitude, a matter of breaking down mental barriers and adopting a new way of facing challenges
Transforming problems into opportunities is not always easy, I know. But, as I was saying, it is one of the most important abilities that you can train in life. In conclusion, transforming problems into opportunities is an attitude.It is a matter of breaking down mental barriers and adopting a new way of facing challenges. It's worth it, don't you think?
