When Hannah Yang worked on an organic farm in France, this happened:
He took us to the greenhouse and showed us spots of brown mold that had begun creeping over the leaves on the tomato plants. “Ze tomatoes get sick sometimes,” he said. “It’s a big…how do you say…a big pr…”
A problem? I suggested in my mind, assuming that was the word he was looking for.
But then Emmanuel smiled and said, “Ah, project. It’s a big project.”
No one ever says “heck yeah, I lost money on this business idea” or “heck yeah, I’ve got chronic back pain.” But you have to keep an open mind to deal with these things.
If you look at them as challenges, not problems that will follow you around, you can deal with life’s trials much faster. A great way to do this is to replace the word altogether. Update your vocabulary. Every time you want to say ‘problem,’ say ‘project instead.’
It will make a big difference.
