b'Stop living in the problem, Start living in the solution.

So you\\u2019ve got a problem? That\\u2019s good! Why? Because repeated victories over your problems are the rungs on your ladder of success. With each victory you grow in wisdom, stature, and experience. You become a better, bigger, more successful person each time you meet a problem and tackle and conquer it with Positive Mental Attitude (PMA).

Stop and think about it for a moment. Do you know of a single instance where any real achievement was made in your life, or in the life of any person in history, that was not due to a problem with which the individual was faced?

We all have problems. It\'s because you and everything in the universe are in a constant process of change. Change is an inexorable natural law. What is important is that your success or failure to meet the challenges of change are dependent upon your mental attitude.

You can direct your thought and control your emotions, and thus regulate your attitude. You choose whether your attitude will be positive or negative. You decide whether you will affect, use, control, or harmonize with the changes in yourself and your environment. You ordain your destiny. When you meet the challenges of change with PMA, you can intelligently solve each problem with which you are confronted.

How do you meet a problem with PMA? If you know and believe the first principle element of a positive mental attitude: God is always a good God\\u2014then you can effectively use the following formula and meet your problems:

When you are faced with a problem that needs a solution, regardless of how perplexing it may be:

1. Ask for Divine Guidance. Ask for help in finding the right solution.
2. Think.
3. State the problem. Analyze and define it.
4. State to yourself enthusiastically: \\u201cthat\\u2019s good!\\u201d
5. Ask yourself some specific questions, such as:
(a) What\\u2019s good about it?
(b) How can I turn this adversity into a seed of equivalent or greater benefit; or how can I turn this liability into a greater asset?
6. Keep searching for answers to these questions until you find at least one answer that can work. ~ Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone from Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude.

When I changed my thoughts from living in the problem: being overwhelmed, saying "this is happening...again?!?", feeling numb because it seems to be too big for me to grasp, getting caught up in the negative emotions of thinking about the problem....
to living in the solution: seeing the problem and asking "what can I do about it?"
my attitude changed. The above 6 steps work beautifully to get you to living in the solution. I admit to not having ever said that the problem, but instead I view it as a problem that needs a solution I am responsible for - hence my question "what can I do about it?" followed by an active search for the solution, which often includes going to other people, researching online, looking things up in a book, etc.
