Seeing Problems From Their Creative Side
Did you know that winning actually puts less wear and tear on the body than worrying? And did you know that you could worry yourself sick to the point that you'll end up in a hospital bed? And that, depending on the severity of the problem, when it becomes chronic and acceptable mode of conduct, it could lead to options beyond hospitalization? It could very well lead to imprisonment or interment! Dr. Charles H. Mayo once said that half the beds in American hospitals are filled by people who worried themselves into them. The human mind seems to be like a calculator. Before you can solve a problem with it, it must be cleared of all previous problems. Worry jams up the mechanism; it short-circuits the whole operation. It has been proven many times that by a simple change in attitude, in mental outlook, the same amount of time and energy most of us devote to worrying about our problems could be used to solving them. Creative people look at problems as challenges. They realize that without problems, everything would come to a stop. Problems do to our emotions and psyche what pain does to our body: They keep us moving forward searching for a solution. They are responsible for every forward step we take, collectively and individually. So, if you want to have a lot more fun and a lot less worry, try the following: * Put your problems in their true perspective. * See yourself as a part of the world, and the world as a part of the universe, and the universe as a part of a great and mysterious living picture. * See problems in their true light: a temporary inconvenience. Every problem has a solution. You may see not the solution immediately, but a solution is a available. You may not like the available solution, but in time you can change it to whatever suits you best. Think about these the next time you are faced with a problem: * No problem is permanent. * Every problem has a solution. * There are probably a number of ways to solve your problem. * The same kind of problem has been solved a million times before some where around the world. * You have the God-given powers to solve your problem. Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins. When you don't, we all lose. © Etienne A.
