Your special dysfunction is your special function in life

Are you sometimes frustrated when you face challenges? Do you struggle to decide which speaking engagements to take, and which ones to turn down?

Think of it this way. Every challenge and problem you face may be a similar problem that someone else is facing as well. When you learn how to overcome this obstacle, you can share your knowledge with someone who is facing the same obstacle, and help them in their journey through life.

This is when your special dysfunction becomes your special function.

Your special dysfunction does not have to be "conquering cancer" magnitude of import. It can be as simple as struggling to choose the best option from a range of similar options.

In this past week, I was given the opportunity to make two important decisions in my life. In both cases, it was hard to choose between the options. I struggled and eventually made the decisions, but I got to thinking "What if there are tools that could have helped me make the decisions, beyond the simplistic method of listing all the pros and cons of each option?"

It turns out that my special dysfunction is also my special function because I found an enviable toolbox to help you make decisions. Go to mindtools.com and you will benefit from these tools when making your next decision.
