WHAT IS A PROBLEM?
In simple terms, a problem is a question, doubt, situation or
issue, which requires an answer or a
solution for its resolution.
A problem may be real or imaginary and physical or mental. A problem
may morph into other problems or grow in complexity, if left unsolved
or neglected. How you approach a problem and deal with it depends
upon your thinking, your mental makeup and your perspective. You
can view a problem from many angles as:
- A challenge
- A question
- A condition
- A difficulty
- An opportunity
- A warning
- An eye opener
- A threat
- A riddle
- God's gift
- Way to success
- An obstacle
- A blessing
- A test
- A perspective
- A lesson
- A weakness
- A vulnerability or
- Part of your life
As you can see from the above, you may view the various problems
in your life in different ways. You may approach them with either positive or negative mental attitude, and subjectively
or objectively, depending upon your circumstances and state of mind.
How you view them and make sense of them, as you set out to resolve
them, determines how you experience life and empower yourself to
make things possible.
COMMON STEPS IN PROBLEM SOLVING
When there is a problem in your life what do you do? How do you
resolve it? Are you afraid? Are you angry? Are you suspicious? Do
you seek the help of others? Do you plunge into action or tend to
run away? Are you sensitive enough to know that you have problems
in your life, which need to be resolved? Are you honest enough to
acknowledge them? Can you list out the problems that you have right
now? What are you doing about them?
The problems you face in your daily life fall into many categories,
ranging from the casual and simple to the unusual and the most complex.
Your problems may be health related, profession related, money related,
people related, authority related, aggravated by others or created
by your own actions, beliefs and negative attitude...
