Introduction

Are you tired of facing the same problems over and over again? Are you tired of constantly being let down by others and their inability to meet your expectations? If so, then this article is for you. In it, I'm going to share with you a simple but effective method: the art of finding where the original problem sprang from. By doing this, we can begin to solve our issues completely and stop them from happening again in future.

Take some time to consider where the problem arose from.

When you’re faced with a problem, it’s tempting to just jump in and fix it. But by taking a moment to consider where the problem sprung from will make it easier for you to solve when you go back into action mode.

To do this, stop for a second and think about what has led up to this point. Try and identify what caused the problem in the first place, so that when we do start fixing things, we know why they were broken in the first place.

Take it one step further and consider why you are facing this problem.

Take it one step further and consider why you are facing this problem. Is it because of something you did or didn't do? Is it because of something someone else did or didn't do? Is it because of something that happened to you in the past?

The truth is that many times, our problems are caused by ourselves, not anyone else. If we had done things differently, we would not be facing these problems right now!

Try and put yourself in the shoes of the person who created this problem for you.

Put yourself in the shoes of the person who created this problem for you. When you do so, it will help you to understand how and why they made the decision they did. Consider what their motivations were. Try and put yourself in their position, and think about what you would do if you were in their shoes.

The next step is to work out where the original problem sprang from, and then finally figure out how best to solve it (if at all).

Imagine what they must be going through.

Your boss is giving you a hard time? Try thinking about what they're going through. They might be feeling stressed out, or they may have a lot on their plate. Some people are just more sensitive than others, too—maybe they've had a rough day and need someone to help them offload some of their problems. Maybe a colleague is being difficult, or maybe there's something else going on in your office that's causing the problem; maybe it's even external to work! If you can start seeing things from another person's perspective, you'll be able to come up with solutions instead of being angry at them for an issue that isn't really their fault at all.

What difficulties are they experiencing?

When you have a problem with another person, it's easy to assume that the other person is causing your problem. But in most cases, the person who created the problem is also suffering from it. They may not be aware of what they are doing or how their behavior impacts others—they're just trying to solve their own problems and don't realize that they're making other people's lives harder as they do so.

If you want to resolve conflict, you need to find out where the original problem sprang from. You should ask yourself: What difficulties are they experiencing? What can I do for them?

Are they trying to solve their own problems or are they just passing them onto you?

When you are trying to understand what a person's motivations are, there are two questions that you can ask yourself:

• Is this person trying to solve his or her own problem? Or is he or she just passing it on to someone else?

If it's the latter, then you need to find a way around the issue so that you can solve it yourself. If they're just passing it along because they don't want to deal with it themselves and don't care about your needs, then there isn't much more for them to learn from your experience. But if they're truly trying to solve their own problems and learn from their mistakes, then let them do whatever they have in mind and see how things go.

Before you start pointing the finger at them and laying blame, try and see things from their perspective.

Before you start pointing the finger at them and laying blame, try and see things from their perspective. Try to understand what they are going through.

How often do we hear someone say: “I would never have done that if I were in their shoes”? Yet people rarely take the time to step into another person's shoes and see how they might be feeling or why they are doing what they are doing.

If you can determine where problems actually come from, you have a much better chance of solving them completely.

Identifying the root of a problem is one of the most important steps in solving it. For example, if you have an issue with your car not starting, you can safely assume that either:

• The battery is dead and needs to be replaced

• There's something wrong with the starter and it needs to be repaired or replaced

Conclusion

Don’t let the problem be a permanent fixture in your life. Take some time to figure out where it came from and what can be done about it. You should also acknowledge that sometimes our problems are actually someone else’s fault but that doesn’t mean you should let them get away with it! If they are trying their hardest to solve their own problems then maybe they deserve your help instead of judgement
