3RD F How to Attack Problems and Overcome Insurmountable Challenges by Allan Stormon VP of Marketing at Ceros
I remember when I used to feel sorry for myself. I used the problems in my life to fuel my excuses and self-pity. We read about how true champions use problems and challenges as motivational drivers on the path to success, I was doing the opposite. It was spiralling out of control, to the point that it makes me cringe to reflect back on this behavior. I was diagnosed with a chronic disease (non life threatening), and in my mind I revelled in the thought that someone might have an ounce of sympathy for me. Maybe they’ll take pity on me and give me a break because I was dealt a bad hand.
When I didn’t get a job I wanted, even after 6 months of applying and interviewing, I felt sorry for myself. Why me? I thought. What did I do to deserve this? When was I going to get mine? I was dealt a bad hand. Even something as simple as my lack of progression as a musician — I would get frustrated if I felt I was moving slower than I thought I should. Other musicians were doing much better than me. Again, I felt sorry for myself. Why can’t I be as good as the others? Why was I dealt a bad hand?
It was a destructive pattern. When things didn’t go my way, when a problem arose — whether large or small — I thought the world was against me.
Find your perspective
Too often, we get stuck in the day-to-day grind and can’t see the forest for the trees. Our problems feel overwhelming. We don’t approach them with the right perspective. Maybe you’re dealt a bad hand on occasion. Heck, maybe you’re dealt something horrific that is truly life-changing, do the same to whatever you’re facing. In fact, it might be a healthy challenge for you to overcome that helps you in the long term.
Perspective is all around us. You don’t need to look far to see people who are dealing with far greater challenges than you. Millions of people sleep rough in the frigid cold every night, families are displaced by conflict, children have to walk miles to find clean water, people are handed devastating diagnoses every day.
There are a million ways it could be worse.
Challenge yourself to power through problems with positivity
Challenge yourself to put your problems in perspective and tackle them with deliberate action and positivity. The weight of a problem gets worse with the more angst you assign it. If you believe a problem is insurmountable, it will be.
But if you attack it knowing that things could be worse, I think you’ll find yourself toppling your problems methodically, maybe even with a smile on your face. It might not be easy, but it’s certainly better and more effective than revelling in your own self pity.
