Are you focused on the problem or the solution? I’ve noticed that people fall into one category or the other.
The “Problemers” tend to be well aware of why something can’t be done. They can give you the reasons why, the limits of anything, and tell you why it won’t change.
And then, there are the “Solvers.” They are the ones who are actively doing what others say can’t be done.
Which are you? Do you focus on the problem or the solution?
When we focus on the problem, we find our Problem Horizon getting tighter and tighter. We see far less of the possibilities and opportunities when we are stuck on the problem.
You may have heard the quote, “Those who say it can’t be done should stay out of the way of those doing it.” Let me suggest that it is possible to go from being the one saying it can’t be done, to the one doing it. And you can do it in 4 steps.
In fact, if you think you can’t do that, please pay attention! You can, and I can tell you how.
Learn how to move from being a “Problemer” to being a “Solver.” It is an important trait of thrivers.

Sometimes, the horizon can seem to stretch in front of us forever. Sometimes, it seems that we are smack up against the world. We can’t see beyond where we are. We can’t see past our problems and struggles.
