"Self-Worth Comes from Solving Worthy Problems...
When prople wrestle with problems 'worthy of attack,' they may feel overwhelmed, and they may even occasionally be defeated. But it is only by combating formidable opponents that people can truly [develop and] demonstrate their power and potency.
The value of worthy problems applies especially well to the raising of children. Many parents attempt to shield their children from the problems they experienced when they were young. But, often as not, it was facing and ultimately overcoming those very problems that made them strong and capable adults. The Swedish writer Ellen Key was thinking along these lines when she wrote:
At every step, the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life; the thorns should never be plucked from his roses." - Dr. Mardy Grothe

[Quote No.46103] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"'Congratulations! You've Failed!'
One of the modern era's most famous phrases first appeared in 1961 in introductory footage to 'ABC's Wide World of Sports': 'The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat.' That saying so pithily summarized the emotional highs and lows associated with winning and losing that it became an instant classic. It was also a saying that resonated with almost all human beings. For me -- and I'm sure for you -- there is nothing so exhilarating as a thrilling victory, and nothing quite so painful or demoralizing as a crushing defeat.
As I reflect on my life, I've had my share of successes. And when I sit down to recall the most glorious ones, I can visualize many with great clarity, even after decades. The successes were thrilling in their own right, made me feel good about myself, and clearly emboldened me. But I don't think I ever learned much from my triumphs other than, 'Yes, I can!'
I've also had many, many personal and professional failures. And when I think back to some of those low moments, I often feel embarrassed, and occasionally even guilty or ashamed. But the truth is that my greatest learning came during those dark moments in my life, when I was licking my wounds and stumbling around to find an answer for what had just happened.
As a young adult, after reading the biographies of so many people I admired, I began to see that this is a truly common phenomenon. So why is it that people learn so much more from failure than from success?
In large part, it's the flip side of that popular definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If we succeed and then continue to operate in the same manner, it makes a lot of sense. But what do we learn in the process? Nothing. However, if we fail and continue to behave as we always have, it's not only stupid, but a little crazy. To escape from a self-defeating cycle that spirals downward to oblivion, we must learn or we perish. A primal survival instinct whispers in our ear: 'You can only expect a different result in the future if you start doing something different today.'
The next time you fail, though, I don't expect you to immediately reply, 'Hmmm, I wonder what I can learn from this.' When it happens, go ahead and feel sorry for yourself. If you even want to play the victim role for awhile, go ahead and find somebody else to blame for your problems. But not for too long. After a few days, it is absolutely essential that you begin to ask yourself the question: 'What can I learn from this failure experience if I want a different result in the future?' (and, by the way, that question is one you might even consider posing to some of your closest friends and supporters). There is no other healthy alternative.
As for the other people in your life, the next time a friend or family member fails, I don't expect you to say to them, 'Congratulations! You've failed.' That would be insensitive. So go ahead and express your sympathy for the pain they're feeling, even if you know that they are partially responsible for the fix they're in. But after a short period of time, it might be appropriate to suggest that failure experiences are often great 'teachable moments,' and you might even want to ask them what lessons they've drawn from their recent experience." - Dr. Mardy Grothe

"Whether called an insight, epiphany, revelation, or flash of intuitive understanding, almost all people have had the experience of suddenly seeing an aspect of their functioning a totally new way -- often in a way that feels freeing or liberating. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it often helps us get 'unstuck' from an established, and not particularly productive, pattern." - Dr. Mardy Grothe

[Quote No.46117] Need Area: Mind > Evolve
"In everyday discourse, we say that people who are unwilling or unable to make changes are stubborn or recalcitrant. But psychologists are fond of searching for deeper reasons, as Alfred Adler did when he wrote about patients who, instead of taking personal responsibility for their lives, blamed forces outside themselves. Such people, he wrote, generally lived their lives according a 'life-lie' which they concocted in order to safeguard their self-esteem and maintain the status quo. The challenge to the therapist, he argued, was to help patients confront their 'life-lies.'
This was no small task, as he suggested when he wrote: 'Every therapeutic cure, and still more, any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth, tears him from the cradle of his freedom of responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance'" - Dr. Mardy Grothe
