"There are no problems ONLY Opportunities"

Learning to think this way actually saved my life starting in 1994.

I was trying to stay alive through a terrible divorce then and I didn't see how I could physically or mentally survive this change at the time. Also, there were 4 children from ages 5 through their early 20s involved in this divorce too. At the time I saw myself sort of like the Captain of the Titanic prepared to "Go Down with the Ship" and that would be the end of me.

However, then a good friend (who is no longer alive himself since 2006) came to me and shared an idea I had heard of before but had never taken to heart which was: "There are no problems ONLY opportunities".

When I took this idea to heart I saved my own life and my children's lives as well by doing this.

I was raised in the 1950s where a man takes responsibility for everything even if it kills him which it was killing me at the time of 1994 and I knew I was dying from the weight of it all.

So, converting to "There are NO problems ONLY Opportunities" turned my life around after viewing life in this way. When you convert to this way of thinking tons of weight lifts off your shoulders because then you stop being a part of the problem and ONLY become a part of the solution. You stop blaming yourself for whatever it is and become a part of the solution for everyone.

By thinking this way my friend had saved my life and I will be forever grateful to him for helping me in this way. Though he only lived another 12 years after that he had saved my life and the lives of my children in the process.

So, when you feel like you are going to die and there is no hope change how you think to save yourself and everyone around you.

"THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS ONLY OPPORTUNITIES!"
