Every problem has a solution if you are prepared to pay the price

A box of matches will start a lot of fires.

Are you prepared to pay the price because there’s always a price to pay when you tackle the problem areas of your life?

The price is not always a monetary one, the majority of the time it requires an attitude adjustment from somebody to find your solution.

The first step in finding a solution to every problem is identifying the cause of the problem. The following is an example.

Problem: They don’t like me?

Questions to ask:

  • What is it about you they don’t like?
  • Why do you care what they think about you?
  • How important are they to you?
  • Do you really like them?
  • Do they add or take away from your life?
  • Are you prepared to put up with their attitude towards you?
  • Are you prepared to lose them?
  • Are they prepared to lose you?
  • Do you like yourself?
  • Are you prepared to change?
  • Are you going to change?
You are the cause and solution to every problem

The cause of every problem you face is your attitude towards the problem.

Remember: You are responsible for how people respect you. If you respect yourself, they will too.
