The significant problems we face cannot be solved on the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. We need a different perspective, different consciousness. We cannot remain in ignorance and expect to solve our problems effectively.
One powerful way to approach our problems is to see them differently. The biggest problem in our lives is not the problems we face but the way we see them. If you see a problem as a problem, THAT is a problem. But if you see a problem as an opportunity, you have a starting point of effectively solving your problem.
If you think that every problem is an opportunity for something, your problem solving will be creative and effective. I even recommend to stop using the word 'problem'. Whatever difficult thing you encounter in your life you can call it a challenge or an opportunity.
Problems that life puts before us are not meant to crush us or discourage us. They are meant to help us learn, grow and become wiser. They are meant to make us stronger.
So welcome your problems and see the hand of the supreme intelligence in them. Use them to your advantage. And, when you face a problem, ask yourself 'What this problem is an opportunity for?'
