Stop Admiring The Problem
10/20/2015

Hi Dr. Laura,

I love you for all you do for everyone, me included. Your direct no nonsense attitude is wonderful. I was listening to you yesterday, and you were speaking with a woman who was whining about her problems. You kept telling her to stop whining and do something. It reminded me of something one of my bosses taught me quite a few years ago, that I still use to this day.

When I went to him with a problem, we would discuss a solution. When I met with him again and I came back with the same problem He said, and I quote:
"Okay, let's stop admiring the problem, and do something about it."
It was one of those life lessons that I've carried with me since then. It was also the last time I ever went to him with a problem that I did not already have a solution for.  In fact, it's a phrase I've continued to use over the years!

Your faithful listener and follower,

Maria
