Here's what life has taught me, albeit by the long, hard road.
When I look for problems, obstacles, negative circumstances, I will of course always find them. In fact, my business practice was predicated largely on this, that problem-finders are a dime a dozen, that solution-finders have jobs and careers. And certainly no one needs to bury heads in the sand--problems need to be faced and addressed, true.
But when I look for the positive aspects, I see options, possibilities, openings, new aspects, and creative solutions. And they are always there, waiting to be seen. As I follow these paths, more positive possibilities present themselves, and synergy builds as other people see what's going on and contribute to it as well. It's how things are built, and how problems get resolved.
In short, far from airy dreaming, as I once would have thought, this is key to successfully navigating reality, the good and the problematic. It's no exaggeration to say I can literally choose whether to be happy or not, and then realize the circumstances that support that decision. One way, all I have to do is control everyone and everything around me. The other, I just have to focus on myself and my own thinking and attitudes. Far easier, far more productive, and as these build on themselves, easier and easier.
There is magic in every moment. Find it. Invest as much time in it as we do in arguing for the negative and the limiting, and things will change dramatically. It's simply true--change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change. That's reality.
