Book 8: Shaping Performance with Positive Imagery

3. People are More Flexible and Creative

When a problem is presented before you, chances are, you cannot change what has already happened or the effect of the problem on everyone else. But you as a person are more flexible and creative and have the ability to manipulate how you view a problem and how to solve it. Realize that you have options and that you can control how you react to something. Don’t look at the problem as though it only has a black or white solution – remember there is a gray area too and you will find the best way for you to handle it.

Remember:

• You can change even if the problem can’t.
• You can control only you.
• There is more than one correct way to do things.
