Problems

"We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems."
Margaret Mead

When was the last time you were stuck with a problem? You probably tried to analyze how it happened. You wondered what you did to cause the problem, or what you should have done differently. You may have thought "Why does this always have to happen to me?" You probably got pretty frustrated, and quit. That's how most people look at problems. But there is another way to look at them. It's a matter of attitude.

You could choose to see problems as opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. You could realize that problems are there to teach you first of all what you want (which is the opposite of the problem) and also help you find a way to get there. Problems are there to help you, not to hinder you. But you may not even see the opportunities for you if you view all those annoying events as something to be avoided whenever possible. Be grateful for your problems. See them as challenges which you can win with the right attitude. Don't give up. Choose to see your problems as a blessing in disguise.
