What is your problem? Could your problem be how you perceive the problem? The presence of the problem, by its very nature, presents an opportunity. You may ask, "An opportunity for what?" Well to name a few: exploration, insight, wisdom, experience, challenge, change, and growth! Could it be that your promotion is disguised as your problem? Selah! Just think about the question for a moment. When you have a problem don't be so quick to see it as something that will harm you. If you change your perspective, you will begin to see the potential for your progress and hence your promotion.

A problem indicates that a solution is in progress. Now the solution may be discovered in a short time or it may take years for a solution to be discovered. The point is that a problem signifies that someone needs to work on finding a solution. If you look at the really big problems that have faced mankind a solution or progress towards the solution has helped improve the quality of life for mankind because someone decided to change their perspective about the problem.

How different would your life be if you renamed or re-framed every problem in your life as "My Potential for Progress and Promotion?" So the next time you face a problem, instead of being fearful, get excited because you understand that you are facing progress and possibly a promotion.

Lesson

Problems are not necessarily bad. Working through a problem can be an opportunity to grow and learn. The challenge of a problem can help you become stronger and better. Some of the most successful people in the world are those who had a really big problem and developed a product or service that solved it.

Actions to Take

1. Change the way you view problems. When you change your perception, about the problem, then you allow yourself to see the opportunities it presents.

2. Think about a problem you currently have and write down all of the potential benefits or opportunities that the problem presents.

Pearlables

Your progress and promotion are disguised as your problem.

The presence of the problem, by its very nature, presents an opportunity.
