Problem oriented or Solution oriented: The Choice is yours

My post on: www.newsyaps.com

Adversity and problems; the way we deal with them illustrates what we are made up of. They are tests of character and resolve. The course we choose to follow to deal with them is what separates us from the rest. How do you deal with obstacles in your life? Do you concentrate on the hurdle or on the point beyond that? Are you problem oriented or solution oriented in thinking?

Einstein cited once ‘We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.’  Life is like an obstacle race; if you concentrate too much on the approaching barrier; you not only lose your position but you more often than not fail to overcome the same to sail to the other end. Yes, solution oriented approach typically edges out a problem oriented approach.

Imagine it is your wedding day; the biggest occasion of your life and all of a sudden the caterer fails to deliver. You could either crib at life being unfair to you or you could spend your time making an alternative arrangement. The former line of thinking is not constructive and does no good to rising above the crisis at hand. But if you choose the latter then you could very much end up reaching a resolution for the predicament and that too well within time.
