Problems or solutions?

Problems or solutions?

"If you expect the best, you will be the best. Learn to use one of the most powerful laws in this world; change your mental habits to belief instead of disbelief. Learn to expect, not to doubt. In so doing, you bring everything into the realm of possibility."

-- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Stop and be aware! Have you been thinking about what you want or what you don’t want?

It’s so easy to lock our minds onto problems rather than opening to receive solutions. But what we think is what we get. This is so important! If we continually focus on problems and negatives, that’s where we’ll stay.

"No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit."

-- Helen Keller

Good post Solane!

Bring me back to reality and out of my self-indulgent negative against the world mode....

thank you!!!!

Problems can become opportunities with a simple change of perspective...I think we get caught up in negative thinking and labels and overlook the obvious: problems are a symptom of something in our reality not being congruent with our thoughts or beliefs. Simply put, there's something not going right. Which if you think about it, is an opportunity to make a change so that it does get back to going right and restoring our peace and happiness. Ever heard the story of the little engine who thought he could? he didn't get over that mountain by chanting "I don't think I can...'. He chanted 'I think I can' over and over and manifested his solution - he got over the mountain and down the other side! Affirmations set with positive intent are useful tools when finding solutions to problems. If you have a problem, what would you prefer to be the outcome? The worse case scenario, or a positive event? Instead of problems, trying seeing them as opportunities to create solutions that will improve your life and watch how much you benefit.
