“The way we see the problem is the problem.” Stephen Covey
Life is one big opportunity broken up into many smaller opportunities. It is always evolving. You might think that you end somewhere but any motion around you will always keep you evolving. The problem in life is that many people label themselves and they get stuck in this identity. I’m a cabinet maker by trade but I don’t let that label me. I’m so much more to the universe. I’m a husband, brother, father, coach, mentor, friend, etc. I used to be an athlete but now I only pretend. Made you smile, lol. I’m the ultimate opportunist. Life is always evolving in my world and that drives my spirit.
Problems are a big part of this evolution. Problems are the stepping stones to your future. The higher up the ladder you get in life, the bigger the problems. Most people wince at that thought but in time, I found out a secret with this phenomenon. Once the bigger problems came, I stopped worrying about the smaller problems. They became very insignificant in my new world so I don’t let them rent space in my mind because they don’t pay me a cent. See what I mean? Opportunist on my forehead!
Where are you in life right now? Where do you see yourself in the near future? If you have stopped with your last past story, you are not done. You are just in transition before your next experience, trade, love or story. Remember, we are always evolving, and opportunity is everywhere that you choose to open your eyes to. I love this one from napoleon Hill; “Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
Open up your mind and dump the trash, immediately. Train the mind to think of solutions instead of focusing on the problems. You will be happy when you finally do.
