Solving a personal problem

Solving a personal problem

I am presenting here my own way to solve a personal problem in a very simple set of questions. So I presume one can ask him/herself these questions to find a relief from a trouble.

1. Is it a real problem or is it an illusion?
2. Why is it a problem?
3. Can I live with the problem as it is without trying to alter it?
4. Can the problem be thrown all together in the trash?
5. What are the elements of the problem?
6. How many ways are there to solve the problem?
7. What is the scenario for each solution?
8. What is the cost of every solution?
9. Is the solution permissible by local and international laws?
10. Is the solution acceptable socially?
11. Is the solution offending to family members?
12. Is the solution troubling to colleagues?
13. Is the solution realistic or idealistic?
14. Are there unwanted side effects to the solution?
15. Will be any collateral damage with the solution?
16. Is the solution painful?
17. Will the solution be considered an error in the future?
18. Can a time frame be drawn for the solution?
19. Who can help?
20. Can a specified plan of action be implemented?
21. What is the alternative solution if the first one fails?
22. What are the marks of success of the solution?
23. Are there shortcuts for speedy success?
24. When to stop thinking about the problem?
25. When to consider the dossier closed?
