When we find money on the ground we think, "Cool." Of course we know that the money isn't ours, but we pick it up anyway. Even thought we might not verbalize it, the thinking goes a little like this, "While I know it isn't mine, I'll take it. The world brought to me, and through those happenstances it has come to me. I will take it, and treat it like the rest of my money."
I'm not gonna attack this thinking. Rather, I'd like broaden that mindset.
We are not so ready to assume ownership when the world brings us problems. Somehow those all still belong to the original owner and we resist rather actively anyone trying to burden us with them.
I suggest you start treating problems just like $20 bills. Don't hesitate to pick them up and treat them as your own.
