Whenever there is a serious problem in our lives, we often find ourselves operating from one of two extremes:
Either we are confident and our constructive beliefs help us overcome the problem. In this situation, we positively apply our mind to solve the issue.
Or . . .
We are uncertain and our self-doubt guides our thoughts toward negatively assuming that the problem is unsolvable and that it is here to stay.
Sometimes, problems really are unsolvable. But instead of feeling uncertain and entertaining self-doubt, we can benefit more by having a more positive approach toward the problem—even without solving it in the first place.
The best solution for constant and irreversible problems is not to seek to overcome them, but to seek to make them die a natural death.
By working your way “around” a problem, over time, you can make it obsolete and outdated. The problem can remain as it is; however, a “workaround” solution makes the problem’s existence un-impactful.
When you face persistent, unrelenting, and unsolvable problems:
Redefine the path to your goals; use workarounds that no longer make the problems your roadblocks. Use those workarounds to lessen a problem’s importance and urgency. Ultimately, you’d want these workarounds to potentially devalue the problem to zero.
Make it so that you no longer need to solve these problems, even though they are present. Make them outdated!
