See Yourself As a Problem Solver

 Problems are mind exercises. They can be opportunities, or they can be obstacles. Theres an old saying that if you don't have problems, then you don't have a job. They come with the teritory of any endeavor. They are necessary to prove yourself, and to make you stronger. Albert Einstein said: "It's not that I'm so smart, its just that I stay with the problem longer." I see problem solving as a true real learning experience. Real learning starts when you're willing to fail. Every winning plan must include losing. Especially in this today's crazy world where life is waiting to knock the hell out of you.

 What separates champions from non-champions are their mental approach to solving problems. Champions see problems as just another way to improve themselves. Non-champions see problems as unnecessary burdens. That is why they avoid them. Problem solving involves making mistakes. It's not how many mistakes you make, it's what you learn from the mistakes you make. Mistakes are made. Things change.                                                  

  When I went to visit Miami, Florida, I had limited knowlege of where to go, and how to get around. I was in an unfamiliar teritory. I have no family down there, and I was forced to make new connections very quickly. I saw this as an opportunity to broaden my thinking, and to think on my feet. If I never made that choice, my experience in Miami would have been a total disaster. It's all about mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical preparation. It's all about knowing what you want, what you expect to achieve, and doing what it takes thats necessary to make this a reality.

 Solving problems are indeed exercises for the brain. They're inevitable. So count on them. I have an old saying on my own, and that is; "The fastest way to run from your problems is to solve them."  We cannot afford to NOT solve our problems because the price is just too high. We may take all our problems to God, but at the end, we got to solve them. Like it or not, problems are inevitable. One way to see problem solving as mind exercise for the brain is to focus on the solution you love to manifest. The type of problems you solve is determined by the type of brain you have. If your brain is a liability, then problem solving becomes a liability and a waste of time. If your brain is a valuable asset, then problem solving becomes a valuable asset, and you're going to get nothing but alot of value out of it.

 Some problems take longer to solve than others, but the duration is no big deal if your focus is on the solutions. Two months ago when I went to visit Miami for five days, I only had those many days to achieve what I set in my mind to achieve. To me, this is problem solving on the highest level. I've achieved a whole lot within those five days. This taught me to never suppose to give myself too much time to accomplish anything. The more time I give myself  to achieve a  task, the lazier I'm going to get. I'm not going to do nothing until it's too late. I learned how to give myself a small amount of time to get what I needed to get done while I was in Miami, Florida and let me tell you something, it makes alot of difference.   

 See yourself as a problem solver and a whole new world of infinite opportunities will open up to you.

 Well. That is all that I have for today. Thank you for reading these very powerful words.
