Problem solver = Superpower.
Come on, join the club because the world needs more of us problem solvers! Plus, its an easier life this way, I promise. Here are my observations ---> there's an abundance of problem-makers, problem-observers, problem-instigators, etc. But few people taking a proactive and strategic approach to solving "problems".
And by no means am I talking about saving the planet, or curing cancer, or figuring out how to start a non-profit, though this new habit could lead you to one day addressing these type of problems. I am talking about day-to-day issues you deal with - losing keys, forgetting stuff, running out of toothpaste, losing your wallet, forgetting someone's birthday/anniversary, forgetting to text/call people back etc.

Let me tell you a little bit about me. I have a super talent. I'm a pretty humble person and don't easily give myself credit but with this talent I will. Here it is - I am E-A-S-I-L-Y annoyed. And though I've worked on my "talent", it still shows up often. To make things worse, I usually get annoyed at the DUMBEST things too. It usually doesn't involve people, but mainly situations. I do experience this feeling a lot less now though because I've become a problem solver. All that means is that I am taking a few minutes to figure out a solution. No college degree, lab hours or mastermind group needed!
To take it a step further, I am now hyper aware when problems arise and find them intriguing. Because now its become a fun game to figure them out. And this is where my true "talent" is - in problem solving. And not many approach life this way, we are all mainly just observers. Need an example? Here's a solution to a problem many of us were having.....not any more!

Haha! Fine, this first one is a joke! But what about the one below? I bought and used this many times and still currently own them!

So take the 2-5 minutes it takes to resolve your smaller day-to-day problems and I promise you'll live a happier life! And you never know, this muscle your building might one day give way to tackling more challenging problems with confidence! As a perk to this skill, you'll naturally stand out among the rest. And with practice it becomes a fun game!
Hope this blog post helped you in at least the smallest way! Enjoy your day friends!
