The Art of Manliness

NOTE

Embrace the Nature of Problems

Life inherently consists of a series of problems; the expectation of achieving a problem-free existence is unrealistic. Individuals often grapple with both the challenges they face and the internalized belief that they should not have such challenges. This duality can lead to self-blame or frustration with the external world. Recognizing that dealing with problems is an integral part of existence allows for a healthier perspective. The ability to navigate challenges is what defines competence and success, rather than the absence of issues. Acknowledging that problems are fundamental to life shifts the focus from wishing them away to enhancing problem-solving skills, framing every challenge as an opportunity for growth and engagement rather than a burden.
