How to Establish a Problem Solving Strategy

What do you need to be doing to succeed in life? What trapsawait you on your path? How much are goals reallyimportant? Is it true you can succeed the most inconducting the business you enjoy the most, or is itperhaps better to be doing something else? How to deal withpeople so that they love you, respect you and at the sametime listen to you and follow you? These are just some ofthe questions most people ask themselves when it comes tosuccess.

And every question requires a clear answer if you wish toavoid doubting in your success and so making your path moredifficult. But, is it at all possible to find the answersto these questions? And, even more important, are theseanswers valid for all people in all situations, especiallyfor you? It depends whether you are dealing with the causeor the consequence.

If you discover the cause of the problem, which is alwaysthe same,  and succeed in solving it, you also permanentlysolve the problem and automatically move forward to ahigher level. For instance, if something in your house hasa rotten smell, you can solve the problem by taking thatthing outside, and the stench won't repeat itself.

This is solving the problem at its cause, which is mosteffective. But people sometimes handle their problemsdifferently. Instead of taking the cause of the bad smellout, they rather cover it up with something, perfume it, open windows and such. This is often much easier, but itdoesn't solve the problem. Consequently the problem repeatsitself and worrying about it only takes too much of yourtime and energy that you could invest in somethingimportant.

People become so overburdened with little things andliterally run out of time to create wealth, prosperity andhappiness. Are you doing the same and solving theconsequences instead of tackling the cause?  Ask yourself:"What problems do I constantly repeat in my life?" Theareas where these problems are constantly surfacing areprobably the areas where you deal with negativeconsequences when they appear.

This isn't relevant only for your physical world, yourenvironment, but also for the world within you. Do you knowof anyone who is always saying: "Why is this happening tome over and over again? Why are people treating me likethis? Why do I constantly spend more than I make?" It'sabout the consequences. By dealing only with theconsequences this person can never move forward in life."The Cause Is Never on the Outside" or "The Cause AlwaysOriginates from Within" This is the Truth because it isvalid for everyone at any time at any place.

If you are ready to admit this to yourself you willdiscover within it the key to the solution of all yourproblems, because you will no longer blame others for yourproblems, but turn towards the real cause - you yourself.

Put in different words, If you are the one holding yourselfback from achieving success and realizing your dreams, andif you are ready to do something about it, you are alreadyon your path to your goals - because you will always findyourself in a situation where you can influence the causeof the problem.
