“People get anxious about facts. But the sooner we learn to accept the facts, the sooner we can solve our problems.”
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
With all the problems in the world today, it is interesting that the focus seems to on the facts. Fact are hidden, twisted, and argued argued about.
What about the facts are you not willing to accept?
Fact vs problems, problems vs facts... too many of us have lost focus.
problem /noun/:
a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.
fact /noun/:
a thing that is known or proved to be true.
the truth about events as opposed to interpretation.
(Definitions from Oxford Languages)
Some clarification from John C. Maxwell's Leadership Promises for Every Day:
Problems are things we can do something about; we can solve problems.
Facts are things we can do nothing about; therefore we do well not to worry about them.
We should apply energy only to those things we can change. When we do, we can feel peace, and act with poise, because we no longer beat our heads against an unbreakable wall.
Be the change you want to see in others. Focus on finding the solution to the problem.
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
