Day 81: On Identifying Your Resources

With every accident, ask yourself what abilities you have for making a

proper  use  of  it.  If  you  see  an  attractive  person,  you  will  find  that  self-

restraint is the ability you have against your desire. If you are in pain, you

will find fortitude. If you hear unpleasant language, you will find patience.

—Epictetus

 

76

For every problem you face, there’s an ability or resource you can tap

into to overcome it. The key is to discover what it is and immediately put it

to use. Unfortunately, many people default to discouragement or frustration

rather than adopt a resourceful attitude and look for possible solutions.

Little good comes out of covering your eyes, wishing the problem will

go  away  on  its  own.  The  best  way  to  prepare  yourself  for  setbacks  is  to

visualize them and seek solutions before these problems materialize. Not all

of your negative predictions will come to pass, but the ones that do won’t

paralyze you as much if you prepare yourself for them.

For example, if you’re on a diet, think of some common scenarios that

might jeopardize your adherence to it. What will you do if somebody you

always  wanted  to  meet  invites  you  to  dinner  at  a  less  than  healthy

restaurant?  What  will  you  do  if  you  find  yourself  starving  at  the  airport

while waiting for the connecting flight? What will you do when you fail to

resist the temptation to eat chocolate and turn an unplanned treat into a full-

blown cheat day?

By creating a list of potential solutions while being at the top of your

game and not being influenced by negative emotions, you’ll save yourself

the  time  and  energy  that  is  wasted  on  trying  to  solve  problems  with  a

clouded mind.
