“Worry is like a rocking chair;

it will give you something to do,

but it won’t get you anywhere.”

sTraTeGy 1-13:

remember, if you can generate

ideas then you can solve problems.

Hang in There and Think

“THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS,

THERE’S ONLY A SHORTAGE OF IDEAS.”

Problems are not the problem. Ideas are the problem. Every single problem,

challenge, or storm you face today has as its solution an idea waiting to be used. Understand

that the only thing between your current and its removal is an idea.

Get your eyes off your problems and onto solutions. You may not be able to do

anything about what has happened, but you surely can, and should, do something about

finding a solution. That solution may seem like a fantasy right now, but keep in mind that

the airplane was nothing but a fantasy until two brothers started searching for ideas to made

their fantasy come true. Fantasies can become facts.

“I was convinced that if you thought small, you stayed small,

and I had no intention of staying that way.”

Ray Kroc

It was Christmas Eve. The large country church was filling up. The air was

worshipful and festive. Families came from far and wide to enjoy the majestic organ playing

the beautiful carols of the holidays. Suddenly, a problem arose.

The service was about to begin when the organist discovered a church mouse

had chewed through the inner workings of the massive air chamber. With only minutes

to spare, the organist quickly composed a replacement carol, which he played on his old

acoustic guitar.

The chords were simple and the melody sweet. That evening was the first time

the world had heard the famous carol Silent Night. By focusing on the solution instead of

the problem, the end result was spectacular.
