21 Habits of Happy People
5. Creative Problem Solving - “Don’t wallow in self-pity. As soon as you face a challenge get busy finding a solution. Don’t let the set backs affect your mood, instead see each new obstacle you face as an opportunity to make a positive change. Learn to trust your gut instincts – it’s almost always right.”
I have had the great joy in my life to be part of various committees. Invariably every committee is made up of a few typical members (I can tell you know what I mean) and one of those is the person always capable of seeing the problem with every proposition. I ask myself, “How do they make it through a day?”
When I was a kid my favorite homework by far was math problems. I know! But it’s true. As an adult one of the things I love the most is a challenge. So problem solving is fun for me. I get all excited. I start looking at all the options. What is in the realm of possible, practical, efficient, etc. I did mention before that I am an optimist. So you can’t be surprised. What I came to understand is that the person that always sees the problem presents the challenges I love to overcome. Now I just see those people as the ones who point things out.
My job as a human being, is to continue to believe that every problem has a solution; more than one solution even. Then it’s up to me to choose the one that makes me happy. Now go out and find the solution that makes you happy too!
Namaste!
