I refuse to focus on problems. I am solution-oriented instead. You cannot be focused on something without activating the vibration of it and therefore attracting more of it. Focus on all of the well-being in your life and you will get more of it; focus on the lack of something and you will continue to lack it.
When a problem arises in your life, bless it. That’s right, I said, “BLESS IT!” Contrast from our desires helps us find solutions and achieve our desires more quickly. When someone comes to me with a problem, (and this took a while to do consistently, by the way), I immediately ask them, “What do you want from me?” Or, “What do you want me to do about it?” And sometimes, I just ask, “What do you want?”
I refuse to sit and listen to problems, because, in my mind, there are no problems; there are solutions waiting to be found and they had to get your attention in some way. Let me put that another way: A problem is nothing more than a solution trying to get your attention.
I don’t usually write poetry. In fact, I’ve never written a poem outside of a classroom assignment. But during my regular writing session today, I was inspired to write the following. I hope you enjoy it, but more importantly, I hope you embrace it.
Bless this problem, O Lord, I pray,
Bless each problem, from day to day.
I know that from contrast, I find my best,
It is in the solution, I find my zest.
Until next time,
Live Joyfully!

Hi…
I agree!! Thank you so much for posting this. I wish everyone would BLESS the economy rather than say it is going into recession and depression. Then maybe some more hearty and longterm solutions could come that would benefit everyone (and lift their spirits at the same time)!!
Thanks, Jennifer. A blessing and a solution, indeed!
