How Strong Are You?

There is something indomitable about the human spirit. Surely, we have all heard this assertion in one form or another, however one seldom considers it's truth. History provides no shortage of examples of individuals who are forever etched in our collective memory. From Kyle Maynard to Michael Jordan, moments past and present are saturated with determined people who rose to the occasion when it counted.

The question is: How strong are you?

Often we equate fairness with some sort of parity however the world shows us this merely chimerical. Examples abound, from relationships or work, of things that seem unfair. This notion comes from conventional wisdom that espouses balance as equity.

Circumstances do not need to change. Rather, one must reframe one's perception and respond accordingly. When you push back against the problem you will probably fail on the first few attempts. However this exercises your creativity and makes one mentally agile for the future. In short, outsmart your problem.

Here are some tips to finding a solution:

• Do not react. Emotions can cloud your judgement and inspire a counterproductive response.
• Exhaust all possible solutions. The answer may not appear clear immediately however a quick brainstorm session creates.
• Think creatively. The most obvious answer is not always the best one.
• Stay positive. Commit yourself to finding a solution from the onset. A positive outlook is the common denominator between success and failure.

Until next time,
