What happened? Where did you go wrong? What’s got you thinking, “Now that’s a problem”? I know I hate the feeling, when I realize I have a problem. Why is that?<\/p>\n

We can get emotionally caught up, trying to figure out what’s wrong with us. I know I do. Self-talk kicks in.<\/p>\n

I’m too late.<\/p>\n

I can’t do this after all.<\/p>\n

I don’t have what it takes.<\/p>\n

I’m such a failure<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Something funny started happening to me recently. My thinking has shifted, and I’m slowly starting to feel challenged and excited by problems. This didn’t come overnight.<\/p>\n

I have some “big problems,” challenges really, I’m facing in my business right now, but after mulling over them (for too long in my opinion) it slowly became obvious. I’ll have to find another solution. This is a challenge to help me grow and do something new.<\/p>\n

Here’s the crazy thing, the problem is the problem. It’s not us! (I got this little nugget from Steven Pressfield, Do the Work<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Oh I can hear you say… “How could I have been so stupid?” or “I made the wrong choice.”<\/p>\n

You’re taking it personally. Don’t! Stop right there. I mean it!<\/p>\n

It was Hill<\/a> who said,<\/p>\n

Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does that make any sense? It didn’t make sense to me the first time I read it either.<\/p>\n

It’s simple really.<\/p>\n
