Wednesday's BOLD LAW ...." Focus on the solution , not the problem "

As you seek wisdom and solutions , make sure you are 100 % of the solution and not 100 % of the problem. If you are 100 % of the problem, STOP it immediately ! As there are probably other contributing factors to a problem ( and you know it's not all you ) , get a trusted friend, mentor or coach to assist you ! Seeing it through their eyes will probably give you solutions that you cannot see just by yourself.

Make sure that whoever you confide in is someone that can look at the situation objectively , without judgement , and is not emotionally involved in the outcome. We all know people like that in our personal circle of friends and mentors. And , we all know people who want to help but, they will get swept up by the drama  ( they can't help it ) and while they'll make us feel good because they are on our side , they really don't help us get closer to the solution. Don't engage with them.

This is about solving a problem, not drowning our sorrows together ! When you are asked to help someone who may be drowning, make sure that you are throwing them a life preserver and not an anchor !...especially an anchor that's chained to your ankle and you both go down together !!! Not good !

We can all assist each other. It may be harder to take a positive solution based attitude rather than a negative consoling position, but in the end, that will lead to solutions, not condolences !

Be a part of someone's solution today !
