While my intent for this blog is not to just syndicate other blog content, I will do so when I find items that are unique and thought-provoking. One such example is a post by Bob Parsons (founder of Parsons Technology and more recently Go Daddy). He wrote a really great piece on his attitude towards dealing with problems he faces in both his personal and business lives. If you’ve got problems (and I know you do), you owe it to yourself to read what Mr. Parsons has to say on the topic.

My favorite line:

The obstacles you face do not get in the way of you living your life – the obstacles you face are your life. So why not change your perspective and simply enjoy the process of dealing with them.

This is sort of reminiscent of the message that Nissan popularized “Life is a journey, enjoy the ride” but I think the way Parsons puts it is more pragmatic.

Problems. They can ruin your day if you don’t have the right perspective. Here’s a secret and a few mind tricks. Handle any problem. Make your business more successful.

If you find this interesting, I highly recommend you poke around his blog and read more of what he has to say. The first time I landed on his blog, I ended up spending a couple hours reading through his posts from the past several months.
