Recently, I have been questioning myself what I really wanted. Am I happy with what I am doing? Does it serve my purpose well? It's just that until now I am on the process of thinking about what to do and what possible solutions are there to make things better; to make me feel better; and to give me a better future.
Listening to an audio book entitled, "How to Solve Problems Quickly and Effectively," by Zig Ziglar, I happened to clearly see the signs across the foggy road. I have been weighing things over and over for the past days and have been asking my family and closest friends for some advice. Yes, each of them is an eye-opener, but the decision still depends on me. It still leaves me hanging, though; but at least I am moving forward.
Now, I want to share with you the five (5) questions we have to raise in order to solve problems quickly and effectively. Here goes...
1. What's great about this? Or what's good about this? Or what could be great about this?
2. What's not perfect yet?
3. What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?
4. What am I willing to no longer do in order to make things the way I wanted?
5. How can I do what's necessary to get this job done and enjoy the process?
I have gone reflective on the subject as I am about to make a big decision that could change my life: actually a make-or-break decision, it is. I ask myself what good could it give me? Years from now, would I be able to harvest the fruit of the seed I would have to sow now? Would it really benefit me? Presupposing that it's gonna be perfect, what should I do? Are there any means to make the situation better? Well, obviously, I have to focus on the solutions. I am willing to do this but I am not sure if this would work. What should I do to get this job done while enjoying it? I know I have to sacrifice and think of the long-term solutions.
This is a really a pain on my neck. It's getting into my nerve. Water please.
I am still not ready to elaborate more as things are yet stable. I just want to give you hints on how to get your problems done. For those who are having confusions at this time, jot down these five questions and answer them, and don't just answer them verbally. Write them down and contemplate on it.
Just a piece of advice, play with your problems, enjoy them and grow from them. That's what I am trying to do now. Seize the day, guys!
