Turning Problems into Solutions

I watched a short video this morning called "Pink Bat".  It was done by a man called Michael McMillan and it teaches us that many problems really aren't problems at all.  He talks about turning problems into solutions, like mould being used to invent penicillin or an apple falling on your head teaching you about gravity.  Now we all know about these things, but do we really know how to turn our own problems into solutions.

We all share the same world but we don't share the same reality.  What may be a problem to me won't seem such a big thing to someone else and vice versa.  But when we do have a problem we forget that there really is a solution out there somewhere, we just have to look for it.

I think we all just expect solutions to come along, we aren't conditioned to think outside the square or look for other doors to open.  We all tend to focus on one part of the problem and forget to see anything else.  So tomorrow when you wake up I want you to realise that you have two choices:

1. You can make the decision to wake up with problems
or
2. You can make the decision to wake up to a world with solutions.

Try it, you will be amazed at how different your day might be!
