At least five years ago I came across the Trouble Tree fable and it resonated with me. The simple story illustrates we all have the means (ability and choice) to dictate our own attitude. Further, our attitude and behavior influences others.

This Problem Solving section is prefaced with the theme you are in control of your attitude and reaction to events. Because what you perceive as a big problem may be much smaller or quite possibly an opportunity. Although you may not be able to control all things around you, you do have the power and ability to control how you react and deal with them. Of course some reactions are purely instinctive, some are learned over time, and some are consciously decided. Which ever method(s) you use to react, once you emerge from your emotional chaos, you can use a problem resolution process to choose your next step and your behavior.
