Deep dives
Understanding the Circle Stance
A circle stance refers to the belief that problems are unsolvable, leading individuals to avoid taking action. People who adopt this mindset often perceive their challenges as unique and insurmountable, which diminishes their motivation to find solutions. For instance, if someone feels that their business issues or personal relationships are hopeless, they won't invest effort into resolving them. This belief can prevent individuals from even attempting to tackle their problems, as they wait for complete certainty that a solution exists before they act.
