| Dealing With Problems
"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body. -
Lucius Seneca (3-65)
To cut down on worrying about making a decision, analyze the
situation, determine what must be done and carry it out. In
writing or on your PC:
Get all the facts. Describe the problem in detail. List all the
possible solutions. List the advantages and disadvantages of
each. Detail what you will do. Follow through.
With personal and work problems, consider all viewpoints, even
those you initially do not want to consider. Take step one and
move slowly to complete the first task, after which the next
steps will become easier. Don't mountain climb over molehills.
"Our plans miscarry if they have no aim. When a man does not
know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind."
Lucius Seneca (3-65)
Often we will still worry after the decision is made, which of
course is of no help at all.
"When once a decision is made and execution is the order of the
day, dismiss absolutely all responsibility and care about the
outcome." - William James (1842-1910)
Rejection can be an unpleasant experience, but it just lets us
know that we are imperfect human beings, and it is a chance to
learn something. We have to let it go by as easily as we can and
confidently carry on.
"What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing." - Aristotle
(BC)
