Turn your problems into ‘Good’ and focus on solutions.
from Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual by Jocko Willink
How to Apply This
-
When something goes wrong, say ‘Good.’
Didn’t get promoted? Good. More time to build a better resume. Got beat? Good. You learned what you need to do to improve. -
Accept reality but focus on the solution.
Think about your next move instead of dwelling on the setback. -
Take a step forward!
Get up, dust off, reload, recalibrate, re-engage, and deal with that issue. -
Reflect on what you have learned when you have dealt with the issue.
Now you are stronger, wiser, and more experienced. You have turned that problem into something good.
