What if we had a hidden gift in our life right now, exactly as it is, that could change everything?
That could change the trajectory of our future?
That could change how we think?
Change what we notice?
Change how we act?
Would that be worth taking time to figure out?

Problems Are Our Gifts.
Problems Cause us to Grow —
Emotionally,
Spiritually,
Sometimes financially and they
Often lead us down the path to our ultimate purpose in life.

Those who lead the world,
Or are leaders in their relative fields,
What are their jobs, exactly?
They solve problems —
Leaders Solve Problems.

Leaders create results,
Create change,
Create value for others,
Or fun stuff we like to watch or do,
By solving problems.

For most of us,
Our biggest problem is that we think having problems is a problem.

It’s not.
They are our gifts in life.
Opportunities in disguise.
Fun puzzles to solve.

A lot of us have had a rough 2020,
We could do wonders taking a minute to think about the problems & challenges we have faced this year with a fresh perspective.
With an open mind,
Asking the question:
How this could this challenge our opportunity be something fun I get to solve, create, do, in the future?

We can give ourselves the best present this Christmas.
Peace of Mind.
Possibility.
Opportunity.
The question is, will you?
Think, decide, act, now.
