When all else fails?

Asked by greek3nny about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

Im under the impression that if something doesnt work you try a different tactic. My question is, what do you do when you run out of options?

Talk to situation over with others and they will probley be able to suggest more options that you weren't aware of. And if you find out there is 100% no other way, then try a different path. happy

How about some more details? I can think of a hundred scenarios that would all need different attention. You didn't put this in love and relationships so I'm guessng it's not an emotional problem.

A lot of times we look at a situation as a problem, which generate its own set of possible answers. These possible answers are generated from a victim mentality. After exhausting those possibilities it may help to look at the same situation from a challenge perspective, which often opens the door for other options.

Problems have answers.
Challenges have solutions.

Looking at it as a challenge gives the perspective of empowerment and allows you to see the situation from a different point of view.
