One of my early mentors
told me
to erase the word ‘problem’
from my mental dictionary.
“Successful people don’t have problems,”
he said.
“They have challenges.”
This change might seem minor
but it reframes the situation
into something manageable.
As Donald J. Trump states,
in Why We Want You To Be Rich,
“Problem solving is made much easier
if you think of problems as challenges.
You might as well view them that way,
since problems are a part of life.
Taking a positive spin on problems
will inevitably give you more energy.
I say ‘inevitably’ with confidence
because I know that’s a fact
and I know it from experience.
Confidence is a big step toward courage,
and fear will evaporate
when confronted with it.”
Erase the word ‘problem’
from your mental dictionary.
