“Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds”.
-Norman Vincent Peale
Do you try to solve your problem or just ignore it? Do you choose which problems are worth solving? Do you believe that every problem has a solution?
If you are reluctant to find remedies for your troubles, determine what is holding you back.
When solving difficulties you want to have a plan of action, a positive attitude, and belief that you can solve it. Thinking and acting in this way helps you to approach the issue knowing you will be successful. You have to proclaim it to be true. It will only come to be, if you make it happen.
Visualizing yourself as if you have already achieved the result or position you sought after, helps you to believe in yourself and reach your goals for solving the problem. Most importantly, you will have to do the necessary work for making your vision a reality.
