The Problem Isn’t The Problem: It’s Your Frame

Every challenge you face is not a fixed stone; it is a lens through which you are currently viewing a situation. The real hurdle isn’t the difficulty itself, but your rigid, default perspective on it. We often lock onto one angle—usually the one that confirms our initial feelings of frustration or victimhood—and, refusing to explore alternatives, we solidify the block.

This tunnel vision is fueled by ego. The ego finds comfort in being “right,” even if being right keeps you stuck. It resists the necessary mindset shift because admitting a new, better solution exists means admitting your initial view was incomplete. This is the definition of cognitive bias in action: the unwillingness to incorporate new information that conflicts with existing beliefs.

Achieving a genuine breakthrough demands an elevation of emotional intelligence. It requires stepping back and consciously engaging a new paradigm. Ask yourself: If my wisest, most objective self were observing this, what solutions would they see that my current, frustrated self is missing?

Your challenge is not to solve the problem, but to solve your current vision of the problem. Reflection Coaching helps you dismantle the ego’s defenses, allowing you to choose a perspective where success is not just possible, but inevitable.
