    “Problems, by definition, have solutions. You might not like the cost of the solution, the trade-offs it leads to, or the time and effort it takes, but problems have solutions. On the other hand, situations don’t. Situations are simply things we need to live with. Once we realize that a problem we have isn’t a problem at all, but actually a situation, it’s easier to do our best to move on and thrive. Focusing on a situation is usually a source of stress, not a way forward.”

    Seth Godin

      “For each headache you face, ask yourself, ‘Is this mostly real or mostly imagined?’ Solve the real problems, release the imaginary ones.”

      James Clear

        “Think about something you are facing right now. Have you been trying to think your way to a solution or act your way to a solution? Sometimes you need more action, sometimes you need a better strategy.”

        James Clear

          “When we deny fear, our problems follow us. In fact, they’re probably getting bigger, and bigger, and at some point something will force us to deal with them. When all else fails, pain does make us pay attention. If we don’t learn from the signal that alerts us to a problem, we’ll end up learning from the results of the problem itself, which is far less desirable. But if we face our fear—we stay, we deal with the fire, we have the tough conversation—we become stronger as a result.”

            “A problem can be dropped so easily if you understand that it is you holding the problem, not the problem holding you.”

            Osho, Everyday Osho (Page 32)

              “A wise person once told me…if it’s a problem that can be solved by money, you don’t have a problem.”

              Ryan Holiday

                “Your problems aren’t that unique. Your nature isn’t that unique. Your personal stuff isn’t that unique. In fact, it is universal. We are all people struggling the same way, we are all people with the same capacities and dignity and worth. Let’s celebrate that. Come together over that.”

                Ryan Holiday

                  “We invent threats to give ourselves a sense of purpose. We imagine obstacles to create a sense of meaning. We start conflicts with others in order to feel necessary.”

                  Mark Manson

                    “Sometimes it can be the constant desire to ‘fix things’ that is breaking them in the first place.”

                    Mark Manson

                      “Your problems adjust to their true level of importance after a hard workout and a good night of sleep.”

                        “Problems don’t really care whether we acknowledge them or not. They still exist. What matters is how we choose to direct our energy, because our tomorrow is the direct result of the way we spend our resources today. Pick your problems, pick your future.”

                          “More money does not solve money problems. Different relationships do not solve relationship problems. New work does not solve work problems. Your future life will not solve your life problems. This is because money does not make you good with money. Love does not make you love yourself. Relationships don’t make you good at relationships. Work doesn’t make you good at your job or capable of work/life balance. Problems don’t inherently make you a stronger person unless you change and adapt. The variable is you.”
