It’s useful to frame for yourself who you are and what you bring to the world. It directs your energy where you want it to go.
One frame is “I’m a problem solver.”
In theory, this helps you look for solutions in the world.
The challenge here is:
Problem is negative – To solve problems, you have to find problems which means you have to look at the world as a set of problems. Something is off about that negative outlook. It can drag you down.
I think a better framing is “I satisfy needs.” Or maybe “I satisfy wants and needs.”
Needs and wants are not necessarily negative.
I want to have a great date with my wife. It is just a better frame than solving some problem. It allows for growth in good things.
Solve wants/needs not problems.
