Are you a problem solver, the one who seems to attract solutions? If so, you are the navigator through challenges that frequently confound the incongruous searchers who never seem to find appropriate answers. What keeps solutions at bay from those who spend countless hours in fruitless searches yet appears to habitually deliver the perfect response to others? There is a reason for this.
The cause of this malady can be found in the search technique. If you are one of the frustrated seekers look closely at how you handle situations and seek answers to resolve problems. You will probably discover that most of your energy is directed to looking at the problem. You may stare and stare until finally you assume there is no good response and give up.
Enter the problem solvers; look at how they approach problems. While acutely aware of the need to find answers, they rarely spend time looking at the problem. They look at solutions, carefully examining each one, weighing the opportunities and the challenges until they arrive at the answer that best addresses the issue.
Are they smarter or more talented than the seekers? No, yet they do have an innate understanding of how energy works. Whatever your energy is focused on intensifies. Stare at a problem and it typically grows worse until your worst fears are realized. Stare at solutions and more and more arise until the right best response appears. The law of attraction is powerful and operating in full force here. We attract what we are focused on, without fail.
There's more; this universal law is true no matter what you are seeking. A better job, loving partner, a different career, in fact, all the things you may hold near and dear to your heart exist just a redirected focus away waiting on you to look at them rather than staring at the lack of them.
We learn these skills by example, the search methods are deeply embedded in our life training. We observe the adults and authority figures in our life and assume their method of handling challenges is the correct one.
If you are a constant seeker you need only look behind you to find the person or persons who taught you how to approach problem solving. How do you break the chains that bind you to wrong responses? It requires your turning off the noise of the problem and turning on the awareness of solutions, like changing a channel on the television. Old habits may die hard but considering that continuing using methods that never worked is like staring at a rerun of a show you never liked makes it easier to change the channel. Failing to do so means you just can't get there from here.
