You can handle it! 32
In the day-to-day course of your job, you meet challenges and situations you would rather not encounter. We all do. In business or in private life, it is a good idea to expect them, for they are all part of business and of our growth.
The four attitudes:
It is also a good idea to decide where you stand on these four beliefs:
• Situations you face are specific to you and your ability for dealing with it
• Situations that you don’t deal with have a tendency to repeat
• You have the inner resources needed to solve what you encounter along the way
• The situation is there for you as a stimulus for your growth
As you develop the habit of drawing on the appropriate inner resource for any situation, you will stop the tendency to be overly driven by conditions. You will be a lot more confident, and move on to having/seeing more creative opportunities.
Action idea:
Find one situation at work – with a manager, a customer, yourself. Adopt any of the above attitudes and apply them to the situation. Spend a day, a week or more. Whatever you need. See what you can come up with toward a solution. I predict you will handle it better. It will resolved quickly.
