It&#8217;s a mindset that will help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">achieve your goals<\/a> and your dreams, and sets you on a path of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to learn more about the &#8220;everything is figureoutable&#8221; meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-the-everything-is-figureoutable-philosophy\"><strong>Understanding the \u201cEverything is Figureoutable\u201d Philosophy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forleo explains the \u201ceverything is figureoutable\u201d meaning as a mindset with which you can approach every issue in your life. <strong>When you believe that things are figureoutable, you believe that you\u2019re capable of solving any problem you face<\/strong>\u2014although you may actively choose <em>not<\/em> to solve an issue if it isn\u2019t a priority.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can apply this mindset to <em>all<\/em> problems in life, even big ones like solving climate change: Even if you don\u2019t solve the full issue in your lifetime, you can make huge progress\u2014the same way that Martin Luther King Jr. didn\u2019t solve racism but made huge strides. Forleo says she learned this philosophy from her mother, who had a fix-it attitude toward everything despite having just a high school education and lacking access to the internet. For example, when Forleo\u2019s mother\u2019s beloved radio broke, she took it upon herself to fix it\u2014and succeeded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-art-of-learning\/\"><em>The Art of Learning<\/em><\/a>, Joshua Waitzkin suggests a way that you too can instill in your children a sense of confidence that they&#8217;re capable of solving any problem they face\u2014even if you don\u2019t model it the way Forleo\u2019s mother did. When you praise your child for succeeding at a difficult task, <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-art-of-learning\/chapter-8#parents-and-coaches-determine-a-childs-mindset\">emphasize the <em>process <\/em>they went through rather than their innate talents<\/a>. By doing so, you\u2019ll encourage your child to attribute their success to effort rather than their inborn abilities\u2014and so they\u2019ll grow more likely to persevere when faced with obstacles.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forleo clarifies that this philosophy holds true both when you don\u2019t know what to do (like how to fix a radio) and when you face setbacks that seemingly prevent you from achieving your goal. For example, if you\u2019re laid off during a recession, don\u2019t resign yourself to not making any money because you\u2019re convinced nobody is hiring full-time workers. Follow Forleo\u2019s philosophy and look for other ways to make money\u2014such as by searching for freelance opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: It\u2019s easy to feel defeated when faced with setbacks. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/barking-up-the-wrong-tree\/\"><em>Barking Up the Wrong Tree<\/em><\/a>, Eric Barker notes that one key to persevering is to <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/barking-up-the-wrong-tree\/1-page-summary#how-to-overcome-setbacks\">tell yourself a good story<\/a>. Your brain naturally tells stories about the random events in your life because doing so gives you a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/an-internal-locus-of-control\/\">sense of control<\/a>. These stories are often objectively untrue, as they lead you to ignore information that doesn\u2019t fit into the narrative you\u2019ve created, but they provide with you a sense of meaning that motivates you to surmount obstacles.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forleo addresses two common negative reactions to her philosophy. First, you might protest that you <em>can\u2019t <\/em>solve some issues. But Forleo counters that if something isn\u2019t solvable, it\u2019s not really an issue but a fact\u2014for example, the reality that you can\u2019t lose 100 pounds in one day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, you might refuse to engage with the philosophy, either because you believe it won\u2019t help you or because you\u2019ve already heard it before. To counter this refusal, <strong>Forleo recommends that you reframe your objections as questions<\/strong>: Instead of saying, \u201cI\u2019ve heard this before,\u201d or \u201cThis can\u2019t help me,\u201d ask yourself, \u201cHow can this help me?\u201d Doing so will put you in a more positive, growth-oriented mindset because your brain naturally tries to answer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: You can also counter your objections by adopting a sales technique and asking yourself, \u201cWhat makes you say that?\u201d In <a href=\"https:\/\/boxoftricksbooks.com\/exactly-what-to-say\/\"><em>Exactly What to Say<\/em><\/a>, Phil M. Jones explains that this question forces you to justify your objection\u2014which may help you realize that you don\u2019t have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-strong-argument\/\">strong argument<\/a> for your opinion and thus lead you to become more open to Forleo\u2019s philosophy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How Forleo\u2019s Philosophy Compares to Stoicism<\/strong><br><br>In some ways, Forleo\u2019s philosophy reflects the ideas espoused by stoicism, a philosophy that stems from ancient Greece. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-daily-stoic\/\"><em>The Daily Stoic<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>authors Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman, the Stoics assert that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-daily-stoic\/1-page-summary#viewing-life-with-em-self-control-em\">you can control only what you think and not external circumstances<\/a>. Despite Forleo\u2019s claim that everything is figureoutable, the fact that she recognizes that you can only make progress on some issues rather than fix them\u2014and also recognizes that some problems <em>aren\u2019t <\/em>solvable because they reflect realities\u2014suggests she would agree with the Stoics\u2019 assertion.&nbsp;<br><br>Moreover, Forleo\u2019s recommendation to <em>not <\/em>solve issues that you don\u2019t prioritize reflects the Stoics\u2019 recommendation that we <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-daily-stoic\/1-page-summary#managing-our-lives-with-em-wisdom-em\">be careful how we spend our time<\/a> because we only have a limited allotment of it.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the meaning of &#8220;everything is figureoutable?&#8221; Why is no problem unfixable?
