Problems and Challenges

"When we accept tough jobs as a challenge to our ability and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen."
Arland Gilbert

Most people tend to see a tough job and think "I don't know that I can handle that. What if I make a mistake? What if I fail?" We have no confidence in our abilities. We think we have to get everything right the first time or we will get a failure. We want something easy. We don't want to work too hard when there is no guarantee that we will succeed.

There are always different ways of looking at any one situation. You can veiw something as a problem and focus on all the things difficult about it. You can also view that same thing as a challenge and focus on how you are going to find a solution for it. Problems are depressing, but challenges are exciting and fun. When you view a tough job as a challenge you will be motivated and inspired to find the solution, and so you will find the solution faster than you ever imagined.
