Have you ever had a challenge? How did you overcome it?

Question

is there a better way to approach the situation when something happens?

Answer 1

The challenge was of emotional nature. My approach to its solution was as follows:
1)I had to acknowledge the existence of the problem. It is not as obvious as it seems. The problem might appear insignificant, not worthy of a resolution. This is the ego's way of escaping the uneasy truth. The problem had to be acknowledged, in all of its severity, so that it could be solved.
2) I was committed to finding a solution. I had to believe there was one, or else, I would have to be miserable for the rest of my life. So, commitment is the basic step. Otherwise, it might be comfortable sitting on the fence, not moving here, nor there. I had to explain to myself that the challenge couldn't be avoided. I had to face it, no matter the sacrifice of comfort.
3)Objective analysis of the situation. I became aware of all aspects of the problem, of how deeply rooted they were in other issues, mostly, trappings of the ego again. I had to detach myself from the problem, and imagine how a stranger would solve it. It is easier to be objective looking at someone else's hang ups.
4)To fully solve my problem I had to look squarely in the face at several phobias. I also had to renounce what I consider them my individuality for the sake of solution. Here comes into play the importance of the second step. If you are not committed it is easy enough for the ego to tilt you the other way by presenting several fears.
5)At the end, I had to reevulate my principles, and realize that my prior convictions, while being part of what I am, were far from the whole. After I found my new answers to the arising fundamental questions, I found my peace.
Thus, depending on the nature of the challenge, it can take some work to overcome it. Hope it helps any.

Answer 2

I have had many challenges. I did not overcome all of them. Some were overcome by chance. Others through preparation and hard work. Others were overcome through hard work without preparation. A very few were not really challenges and were easy though I was formally challenged.
There is not always a better way to approach a situation. Sometimes the approach used is the best. In other cases you think back and say, "I wish...".

Answer 3

I have had several challenges in my life. Each was different but I never backed down. I always had a plan. I set long-term goals then create short-term goals that move me toward my long-term goal. Periodically (or after something comes up) you need to review the goals and maybe alter them. If you continually do this it will keep you focused on what you want from life and helps filter out distraction. That's how I've done everything I've accomplished and I continue to do this as I move onto the next phase of my life. I hope this helps.

I THINK ALL CHALLENGES ARE FROM GOD AND FOR US TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS. IT'S ALL A HUGH LEARNING EXPERIENCE. AND WE ALWAYS FEEL BETTER AFTER WE ACCOMPLICE IT.
