The Solution Orientation of Super-Successful Human Beings

Many people focus on the problem in front of them instead of the solution available to them. (Every problem carries with it a solution, even if you can’t see it right away.) This trait is due to the negativity bias of the human brain, a trait that served us well tens of thousands of years ago when each day provided deadly threats of starvation, or attack by animals or warring tribes. Great leaders have patiently programmed themselves, through consistent daily practice, to constantly look for the opportunity within each difficulty and the solution inside every challenge. Please remember that a problem only becomes a problem when viewed as a problem. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

And here was the reply on the other end of the phone, I think it was someone from the front desk, or maybe it was room service, and I tried to eat as clean as possible. So probably it was a request that I have all of oil and fresh lemon or lemon as the salad dressing. And here's the reply, just to really lovingly and respectfully and hopefully fluently and elegantly bring this leadership insight home to you. I said, "Is this possible?" And his reply was, "Anything is possible."

  So it's really easy to get seduced and stuck into a mindset of can't. You know, someone says, "Let's start a new business." Someone says, "Here's a great poetic project that if we release it to the world will help us own our marketplace." And it sounds very obvious again, but ask yourself this, is your default reply a symptom of a mindset of can't? Or do you have a mentality of possibility? When someone says, "Here, read this book", do you shift into can't or can? When someone says, "Hey, you know what? I'm amped to run a marathon." Do you go, "I can't"? Is that your default setting in your neurobiological

  hardwiring? Or do you go, "Absolutely," or "I'd love to do this"? You know, it's really, really important, and that is one of the core distinctions of leadership, isn't it? It's victimhood or leadership. And I respectfully suggest to you every single day, we don't only have an opportunity to show leadership without a title, we have a responsibility to do so.
