Principle 03: Problems Create Progress

Let’s reframe problems: they’re not your enemies; they’re your greatest allies for growth. Every problem holds within it the seeds of its solution. Without problems, there’s no feedback. And without feedback, there’s no progress. Whether it’s a glitch in your workflow or tension in a relationship, these issues can be gifts—opportunities to learn, adapt, and improve.

When you embrace problems instead of avoiding or resenting them, something magical happens: you start to see them as signals. Signals that something needs attention, adjustment, or transformation. And the best part? Solving one problem often unlocks solutions to others. It’s like finding the key that opens multiple doors. Progress isn’t just about pushing through; it’s about leaning into the problems and letting them guide you toward better outcomes.
