5 common problematic situations in business & life, and the epiphanies & questions to tackle them with logic: 1) Feeling offended 2) Worrying a lot 3) Dealing with unfairness 4) Making tough decisions 5) Tackling a difficult project ~ These are based on my personal experience. I had these epiphanies at different points during my 20s & 30s i.e. an eternity ago Back then, I was proud of my logical thinking, so I used logic to convert these epiphanies into guiding questions to ask myself when I found myself in one of these situations. ~ Situation 1: When I am feeling offended Epiphany: Feeling offended is a “me” problem, not a “them” problem Guiding questions: If someone’s words can spark so much inner disarray & disturbance within me, is the power with me or with them? Where do I want the power to be? The right answers just follow. Do this regularly, and voila, the world has a diminished ability to offend you. ~ Situation 2: When I am worrying a lot Epiphany: My past worries have either not materialized or they have not destroyed my life like I had imagined Guiding question: If this <bad thing> does happen, will it be a bad day, bad week, bad month, bad year, or a bad life? This question provides much-needed perspective (and also helps prioritize the worries!) And the answer is very rarely “a bad life” (even if it might feel that way initially). ~ Situation 3: When I think someone is being unfair or unreasonable Epiphany: They clearly do not think that way about themselves They did not wake up in the morning thinking they want to be a difficult / unfair person Guiding questions: What is the story they are telling themselves? Under what conditions might their perspective be valid? These questions help build empathy, and often also provide a way to navigate the situation in a way that gets us both what we want. Win-win. ~ Situation 4: When making tough & important decisions Epiphany: Choices with long-term impact are still heavily biased by my current feelings Guiding question: Which of these choices will look wisest to me 20 years from now? This question forces me to step away a bit from my current feelings, seek the right counsel, and generally helps accelerate wisdom. ~ Situation 5: When a problem or project seems too hard Epiphany: Harder things have been achieved by people with fewer resources Guiding questions: Is this problem truly as unique and difficult as I think? What might another person or team (whose work I admire) do here? These questions help reframe the situation, build confidence, and make more room for creative execution. ~ To sum it all up, it’s largely about: Self observation + Logic + Long outlook Best of luck!
