Turning Challenges Into Postive Change

4 replies
Many experts have said a challenge is often the signpost of opportunity. Do you believe this? How do appproach challenges and what do you do to squeeze them for any opportunties they may contain.

For example, one way I approach challenges to see if I can squeez any opportunity from them is to see if others have faced, overcome,. or fought them.

Next, I try to add my own twist or individual input. And finally I write down the steps I used to overcome the specific problem and share it with others through an article, blog post or forum post. That way hundreds maybe thousands can benefit from my experience.

How do you approach challenges?

    I run and hide! Just kidding. Yes, there is always opportunity in challenges and usually you will grow as a person by facing and conquering them. I try to break everything down into small steps because I can sometimes get overwhelmed at the big picture. So I figure one small step closer, then another, then another, and soon I have achieved my goal.

    Nice kurlie! Breaking down tasks can make it easier for you to finish everything. Arrange it from big to small tasks. That also works great for me. Never say NO, just keep pushing forward.

    All I wanna say here is : A journey of a thousand miles starts with 1 step.
    I know I am not quoting the exact phrase but big challenges can be fought with if we break things down into smaller parts and never quit

    Breaking down challenges into bite size pieces works for me. If I face a huge challenge, I find I have to take the time to see what will work and what won't. Better than walking away like I used to do when I was younger.

    The difficult part is if the challenge is so huge that you have to keep breaking it down to even smaller sizes, but the results can outweigh the time and effort.
