“There is no problem that can withstand the assault of
sustained thinking.”
-Voltaire
Most problems and challenges could be solved and overcome
much more efficiently IF you would only focus more on the
solution.
Your thinking is magnetized. Your mind is a powerful magnet
being drawn to and attracting that upon which it dwells.
Especially the unconscious mind.
If you’re only focused on difficulties like, “I don’t have
enough money”, “I’m having trouble in with kids”, “I hate
working with Johnny” and things of that nature then it
becomes much harder to think of the solutions to these
dilemmas.
When you assault adversity with sustained thinking about
solutions, you become self-empowered with answers instead of
dis-empowered by more seemingly un-rectifiable situations.
You will eventually attract ideas, situations, and people
that will provide the solution or at least a resolution so
that you can move on.
I’m not saying that your challenges will miraculously
disappear.
I don’t believe in the mystical manifestation, hocus-pocus,
and magic dust theories of problem solving. This is science
and it goes without saying that you have to take action when
solutions present themselves.
Many people attempt to think about and focus on solutions
but they miss the key word in this whole thing. SUSTAINED.
This means continuously thinking about solutions until they
come. If you want answers this is non-negotiable.
I keep all of this in mind by remembering the Aretha
Franklin song- You Better Think, Think, Think.
This process may take longer than you would like, but
eventually it will provide you with some relief. How do I
spell relief?
