Was looking for something to share with team leaders at office, and found an interesting excercise in Robin Sharma’s “Who will cry when you die”.
List Your Problems
Take a piece of paper and list all the problems you have in your life now. Work related, project related, people related, relationships related, personal, national, global – anything!
Then look at them.
You will realize that about one third are not really problems. So you don’t need to worry about them. Another one third will be things you can not change. So why fret?
And for the balance you can now think straight (since you have spared your mind a lot of trouble), prioritize and take action on. The technique is like sharing problems with a friend, as you share, you get free!
We tried this, and it gave very good results. Some people realized the problems were just temporary and solved them. Some got freedom from the burden. Some got new insights into solving them.
Exactly! Infact, all the time, we have a ghost running around us saying – i have lots of problems, i have lots of problems. But when we really think and analyze, almost 80-90% of them are not really a problems at all! Thanks for this entry nirav.
Apart from this, when u have some free time, why dont u place a new page in here mentioning your fav. books, links & inspiring resources so that we can have a good look at them too?
Yes Bhavesh.. Will make it a point to list down my reading list 🙂 Give me some time.
