How do you solve a problem?

Two approaches in viewing a problem

In my experience working and interacting with many people, I observe there are two types of people in the face of trouble or problems, whether in work or social life. Two types are reactive (reacting so problems come) and receptive (to accept the problem).
Reactive Approach

Reactive people usually see a problem as a threat. Whether the threat to his career, his business, his family, and so forth. In this group you find a solution to the problem by using logical and traditional approaches. Characteristics:

    * Once the problem you're likely to soon come looking for any way to overcome them.
    * The problem is seen as factors inhibiting the development of self.
    * You will soon formulate a strategy to deal with problems
    * because the problem is seen as a threat, he will dominate the mind and tends to cause anxiety and stress.

If you work in a company, perhaps you've been asked to lead a project in which you are responsible for achieving certain targets. Here you are confronted with situations requiring analysis, justification, and logical thinking in the face of challenges or problems that arise. You will be in a depressed condition to meet the deadline. Predictably, you will tend to use a reactive approach in solving problems.


Receptive approach

This approach is usually practiced by those who have realized that the problem is not a threat but rather the consequences that arise from a condition that we create. Therefore we have the power to change these conditions from within ourselves. You are willing to accept the problem and at the same time create a solution.

Characteristics:

When trouble comes, you recognize it and use the approach:

    
* The problem is the opposite of the solution. When problems arise, you believe that time also that the solution already exists.
    
* You focus on the solution of problems that arise, rather than the cause of the problem. That way you take over control from within yourself, rather than be controlled by circumstances beyond.
    
* The problem is an opportunity for self-development. You see it as an opportunity to create a positive reality in your life.

Want to receive the problem does not mean silence. You do not "full of anger" but recognize the problems in stride and make yourself responsive to everything you need to invite solutions.

The simplest example is when you love couples (wife, husband, or boyfriend) is being cranky because of trivial issues. With a reactive approach, you will only aggravate the situation by wondering why he should be cranky, analyze the cause and feel this condition would threaten the harmony of your relationship with him. Instead of solutions obtained but rather anxiety and concern.

With a receptive approach, you accept and realize that your partner is angry. You focus your energy to create affection which is basically the opposite of anger. You are not late getting carried away - try to find the answer from the analysis of why he was so angry - but it took over control from within yourself, stay calm thinking, and showed a positive attitude in your behavior. You will feel that in this situation makes you grow. You create positive qualities about yourself to surface and has become the law of nature with your partner act like this will undoubtedly change from anger to love.

This receptive approach can practice in the life business, households, and social. Essentially you build confidence that the problem is not real so you do not feel burdened. Train yourself not to be reactive when a problem arises. Focus yourself on the opposite of the problem, namely the solution, to find the control and not soluble in the matter.
