We tend to identify not with the solutions but with the problems. Therefore, when solutions are given, they are not attractive, because our problems are more attractive. That is where we get stuck. Often people say, "this is my problem, and I don't know what to do." My reply is, "What is the solution? Don't come to me with problems, come to me with solutions." You will always face problems, but you have to train yourself to find solutions. So one just has to take the first step in being bold. Boldness implies that you begin to like what you know. Once that boldness comes, then all the hang-ups go away.
[Excerpt from speech by "Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati"]
I actually had to train myself to do that. I was very much focussed on looking at problems and worrying about it. Then I shifted my problem centric focus to a focus on finding solution and two things happened:
ReplyDelete1. I started getting less worried about any situation
2. My mind is conditioned to finding solution very fast.
Hope this helps you as well.
