MENTAL DIET: How To Win Through Tough Times (Part 2)

Charles Kettering was in his front yard cranking his car and it “kicked”. The sudden lurch broke Kettering’s arm, and he grasped his arm in pain. Almost immediately, however, he thought, “This is a terrible thing to happen while you’re cranking a car. An easier, better, safer way to crank cars must be developed or the masses won’t have any desire to own automobile”. Consequently, he invented the “self-starter”. He grew to become the wizard of General Motors and made a passionate statement, “Bring me nothing but problems. Good news makes me soft”.

The 3 Realities of Life:

1, Life can be simple. In fact, when you simplify your life, you amplify your success. However, life is not easy.

Difficulties, challenges, and problems are inevitable parts of life. Problems are part of the world – to not acknowledge that fact is to live in an illusion. Everyone faces problems and at varied seasons of life, problems become more intense that it can alter our lives for good or for ill depending on our responses in those very tough seasons of life. Bad experiences could be the defining of our personal growth and development or they could be the retrogressive point of self-sabotage.

So, see the world as it is: don’t deny it’ don’t ignore it; and don’t fix the blame.

2.       Problems reveal us to ourselves.

Problems are like alarm indicators that signal to us who we are and where we are and our response to the problem will shape who we are becoming.  It’s not what happens to us but rather it is what happens in us that determines our response and our response to the problem shapes the outcome of our lives.

It is through the painful experiences of life that we grow in self-awareness and we begin to ask life-altering questions that offer us the opportunity to live with meaning, clarity, and depth.

 In tough times either one of two happens: you are either infected with negative thinking which produces a negative reaction from you or you effect positive changes through a positive mental attitude. Therefore, your attitude towards the problems is either your greatest asset or liability. So, we can safely that most of our problems are in our heads, and if we can fix the problem in our heads, we can fix the problem in our lives or effectively manage it. How you perceive problems will determine your attitude toward the problem.

• The universe is clogged with solutions – we were made or designed to create solutions.

Every problem holds opportunities for possibilities and advancements for either yourself or others, Businesses exist because of problems. What is a problem to one is an opportunity to another. Your willingness and ability to effectively solve problems is the master skill of life required for advancement.

When you put problems in their proper perspective you gain a higher perspective to rise above the problem and when you inwardly rise above the problem that’s when you can overcome or deal effectively with the problem.

Your mind must be in a state of faith and love for it to function in the creative state to create positive solutions to problems that elevate your character, appreciate the self-esteem of others, and inspire the best in others. In essence, you create solutions that would be for the highest good of yourself and others. A mind void of faith and love is a mind filled with fear and selfishness which is a destructive state of mind as it produces negative solutions to problems that degrade character, devalue human lives, and cause a deeper problem in the world.

The extent to which you function in faith and love will determine the kind and quality of solutions you will create for yourself and others.
